Starfield gives players extensive options for customizing their ships. With the ship builder, you can add new parts, rearrange them, and even change the colors. Making your ship unique and reflecting your character is important, and sometimes a plain white ship just won’t do. Let’s explore how you can customize the color of your ship in Starfield.

How to Change Your Ship Color in Starfield

Changing the color of your ship and its parts is incredibly simple, and it won’t cost you any in-game currency. To customize your ship color in Starfield, all you need to do is press the ‘J’ key while in the ship builder. Before that, make sure to talk to any Ship Services Tech. These technicians are usually located near the docking areas in most cities.

This process won’t cost you any in-game currency, and you can change up to three different colors! First, either select a specific ship part, or left-click twice to select the entire ship. On the top right corner of your screen, you’ll find three colors to choose from, each corresponding to different areas of the ship or part. After selecting the desired color on the color scale, you can further adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness.

Once you’re satisfied with your color choices, simply press the ‘Enter’ key to apply the selected colors. That’s how straightforward it is to change the colors of your ship in Starfield!
