Splattercolor Screen
Can you help us get it done?
The Splattercolor Screen is a special weapon in Splatoon 3. It is a canister which creates a large, mobile ink wall that doesn't block shots. Instead any opponents that pass through the affected area will be damaged, have their view of the game temporarily rendered in greyscale with lightened ink colors, and hear a fizzing sound.
Appearance
The Splattercolor Screen, when activated, generates a clear canister filled with swirled ink, resembling a bottle of bubble solution. When thrown, the canister deploys a large, thin arch-shaped bow of the user's ink color which inks the ground as it slowly moves forward. The ink is held in shape by two plastic structures resembling bubble wands on either side. The ink also produces bubbles as it moves. The ink itself is marbled, resembling the namesake paper marbling technique suminagashi (墨流し).

Quotes
| “ | Here's Ballistics to show off a new special that probably could have helped your team in the Splatfest.
It's called the Splattercolor Screen, and it forms a massive wall! Now, anyone can walk through the wall, but enemies that do so will lose the ability to see color. |

Translation notes
- ↑ It is currently not certain what PLED is an abbreviation for but it is possible in reference to polymer light-emitting diodes.
- ↑ From unsichtbar (indiscernible) and Barriere (barrier). Unsichtbar usually translates to "invisible", but the less common translation "indiscernible" better reflects the distinguishing issues caused by the Splattercolor Screen's grayscale effect.
- ↑ From pantalla ("screen") and tinta ("ink").
