The Charcoal Decavitator appears broadly similar to its base weapon, the Mint Decavitator, but with coloration differences. Most of the white and blue elements of the base weapon are now an extremely dark navy and gold, respectively. Additionally, the bristles of the toothbrush alternate purple and yellow, and the pull trigger and lower trim of the handle are gold instead of grey. The clear plastic of the sheath is also dark-tinted, and the wordmark has different colors.
