The Splattercolor Screen is a special weapon in Splatoon 3. It is a canister which creates a large, mobile ink sheet causing slight damage and visual dampening.

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 straws on either side. The ink also produces bubbles as it moves. The ink itself is marbled, resembling the Japanese namesake, the paper marbling technique suminagashi (墨流し).

Splatoon 3

When activated, the user will produce a small canister that can be thrown with to produce the sheet on impact. As the sheet moves, enemies passing through it will take damage and trigger the visual dampening, causing the screen to darken and become monochromatic.

The visual dampening is not directly tied to whether the player actually takes damage and cannot be avoided by armor (for example from the Squid Roll), but can be avoided by moving through the sheet with full invincibility (for example, while riding the Reefslider).

Additionally, although the Splattercolor Screen is not actually a solid object, the opaque parts are still treated as such for the purpose of Thermal Ink and Haunt. Consequently, any enemies affected by these abilities may be seen through these parts of the sheet.

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.

”
— @SplatoonNA on Twitter[1]
“ Not quite a shield but unlike any other offensive weapon, this device produces a large, slowly moving sheet when you press to deploy. Enemies who touch the sheet will take damage and briefly lose the ability to perceive color! Anyone who even LOOKS upon the sheet will be mildly disturbed. ”
— In-game description.

Trivia

Translation notes

  1. ↑ It is currently not certain what PLED is an abbreviation for but it is possible in reference to polymer light-emitting diodes.
  2. ↑ 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.
  3. ↑ From pantalla ("screen") and tinta ("ink").
