The Color-Chip Collection is a new feature available in Splatoon 3: Side Order. It looks like several smaller palettes that each hold color chips of one specific tone, and acts as an encyclopedia of all color chips Agent 8 encounters while climbing the Spire of Order.
Collecting Color Chips
Encountering a color chip for the first time adds it to the collection, provided the player completes the floor they encounter it at. Color chips encountered through Color Chip Saturation do not count towards unlocking them in the collection. There are a total of sixty-two color chips that are able to be added to the collection.
Pressing on a specific color chip in the collection shows additional information about it, including a description of the chip and quotes from Acht, Marina and Pearl that give tips on how the chip can be used.
Each color chip has three levels of completion. Achieving each level unlocks one of the quotes. The player can level up a color chip by setting multiple copies of it into their palette in a single run. The usual progression is one copy for first level, three copies for second level and five copies for third level. Some chips only need one copy to unlock all three levels. Chips that allow for more than five copies to be placed in a palette only need five to unlock the third level.
Color Chip Categories
There are six color chip categories total, each containing several different tones. A tone is a group of color chips that share the same color. Completing all color chips in a specific tone awards the player with a Badge.
Power Category
The Power tone contains nine color chips. These chips focus on increasing overall damage dealt, whether that be by increasing the damage or fire-rate of the main weapon, increasing damage dealt by explosions or specific Specials, or increasing the damage dealt by Agent 8's ink.
