PlayStation Fans Question Prism Collection Color Names
Players say Flare Orange reads as red and Graphite Gray as blue; Sony says the transparent materials shift the hues.
PlayStation fans are criticizing the color names used for Sony's Prism Collection DualSense controllers and PS5 console covers on social media, according to gamerant.com. The main complaints are that Flare Orange looks red and Graphite Gray looks blue. The controller is priced at $84.99, with matching console covers at $74.99.
Sony said the transparent, overlapping materials deliberately shift the hues, which accounts for the way the colors appear.
The Prism Collection was announced on October 28, with three transparent DualSense controllers and matching console covers in Flare Orange, Emerald Green, and Graphite Gray. Sony said at the time that the designs are meant to revive the see-through electronics look of the late 1990s, describing Graphite Gray as a cool-toned storm gray and Emerald Green as a deep hunter green that gains depth through transparency.
Pre-orders open on November 10, ahead of a release on February 4, 2027.
