List of Pokémon by color

This is a list of Pokémon by their (Japanese: color) according to the Pokédex. In Generation III, it is also referred to as body color (Japanese: の body color); in Pokémon HOME, it is also described as a 's main color in English. While the actual colors of individual Pokémon can vary, the color associated with a species is usually the color most apparent or covering the Pokémon's body. Some species are categorized on the basis of the color of their heads or faces, such as , which is categorized as red despite being mostly blue. Prior to Generation VII, Pokémon species with multiple forms, such as and , were categorized based on their primary form's color.
Color is available as a search method in the Pokédex in , the Generation V and games, , , , and HOME, and in the Strategy Memo in . It can also be seen in the Pokémon Storage System in the Generation and V games and . It is no longer visible in-game starting in , although it remains in the Pokémon species data structure. A Pokémon's color only has an aesthetic effect, with the exception of the Festive Feud Wi-Fi tournament, where only red, white, or green Pokémon could compete.
==List of colors==
The games divide Pokémon into the following ten categories based on their color. For each color, its index number, name, and the specific shades used to represent it in various games are displayed in the table below:
#	Name 				 HOME 	
0	Red 				 	
1	Blue 				 	
2	Yellow				 	
3	Green 				 	
4	Black 				 	
5	Brown 				 	
6	Purple				 	
7	Gray 				 	
8	White 				 	
9	Pink 				 	
These categories do not correspond directly to any particular or , and instead reflect basic s in Japanese. Primary colors like or , despite them being primary colors in modern color models commonly used in many artspaces and workspaces like CMY, do not have categories; Pokémon that may be considered to be primarily cyan (also commonly known as "turquoise" in some scenarios) are instead listed as green or blue, while Pokémon that may be considered to be primarily magenta are instead listed as purple or pink. Even some commonly known secondary colors aren't documented as such. No category exists; Pokémon that may be considered to be primarily orange are instead listed under the categories of red, yellow, or brown (also commonly known as "dark orange" in some scenarios).
Several Pokémon are placed in categories that hold little resemblance to their perceived color, or which would be more logically placed in a different category. Some examples are and , which are categorized as green even though they may be considered more blue than green; this particular case may be attributable to the in Japanese.
