Star Wars Zero Company: How to Change Clothes and Armor Colors

Recoloring your squad in Star Wars Zero Company happens entirely inside the Outfits menu, where every clothing and armor piece is split into its own color zones. You can tint a plain shirt, repaint a full Clone Trooper set, and match a helmet to a top without touching gameplay stats. The system works the same for Hawks and for any custom recruit.

Quick answer: Open the Outfits menu, select a component such as Tops or Lower Body, open its color menu, and pick a new shade for each color zone. Every piece has one to four independent zones, so a single item can carry up to four different colors.

How color zones work in Star Wars Zero Company

Color is applied per piece, not per outfit. When you select any item, the customizer shows how many color zones it supports. A basic shirt may only have a Main Color, while a full helmet or armor plate can expose up to four separate zones that you set one by one. This is what lets you build a uniform single-tone Clone or a helmet with four distinct shades.

The color list is long and shared across pieces, so you can repeat the same shade on a top, pants, and boots for a matched look, or break them up for contrast. Faces and species-specific features can also be recolored using the same palette.

Outfit component	What you can recolor
Headgear	Helmets and hats, including Clone Trooper helmets
Tops	Shirts, armor pieces, and Jedi robes
Arm wear	Gauntlets, gloves, and arm guards
Lower body	Pants and leg armor (bundled with boots)
Boots	Footwear and greaves

Change a top’s main and accent colors

Open the Outfits menu and select the Tops category. This lists every shirt, armor piece, and robe available to the character you are editing.

Choose the specific top you want to wear, then open its color customization menu. The piece’s available color zones appear here.

Select Main Color and pick a shade from the palette. The change previews on your character immediately, so you can see the new tone before confirming.

Switch to Primary Accent and set a second shade for the piece’s trim. Repeat for any remaining zones until the top looks the way you want.

Recolor pants, boots, and headwear

Return to the main Outfits menu and select Lower Body. Because pants and boots are bundled together on many items, changing this slot can update both at once.

Open the color menu for the selected pants and set the Main Color. The palette works exactly as it does for tops.

Open the Headwear category to fit a helmet or hat. Clone Trooper helmets are here, and they carry the same color zones as other pieces.

If you want the helmet and top to match, swap the top to a coordinating style and re-apply your chosen shades across both. This is how you build a consistent Clone Trooper look from head to toe.

Note: Clone Trooper helmets add built-in voice modulation, so your character’s dialogue is filtered while the helmet is worn. You can also toggle headgear to hide during conversations if you prefer to show the face.

Use presets and the lighting toggle

If you would rather skip manual tuning, each character has preset outfit configurations that swap the whole look in one selection. Presets are the fastest way to get a complete color scheme, and you can still edit individual zones afterward.

Before you commit, use the lighting button in the customizer to cycle through brighter and darker preview conditions. This helps you judge how a dark armor color or a subtle accent will read in different in-game environments, which is easy to misjudge under a single studio light.

Which characters you can recolor

The color system applies to Hawks and to custom recruits, and it reaches authored characters too. Padme Amidala, for example, can switch between traditional Jedi robes, Clone Wars-era Jedi armor, and a hooded variant, each with its own colorable zones. Some authored characters keep locked voice options, but their visual pieces remain editable.

Armor coverage spans several eras, including Clone Trooper Phase I and Phase II sets, ARC Trooper armor, Jedi robes and armor, plus new helmets and outfits. Every one of those pieces uses the same one-to-four zone color system, so the steps above work no matter which set you equip.

You will know a change took hold because the character model updates in real time as you pick each swatch. Confirm the piece to lock it in, and the new colors carry over to the squad selection screen and the in-game portrait. Star Wars Zero Company is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and this customization is part of the base game rather than a paid add-on.
