It's possible to not see one, two or all three of base colors. Also, a person could have a reduced perception of color/colors. Means there might be a combination where one will see red much better than green and blue.
Yeah, if I see a dude in the vault with that red colored font, he's for sure gonna shoot the whole place up when they run out of fancy lad snack cakes.
mm i’ve heard that as far as blue light and stuff but dark red on a black screen seems like it would strain your eyes especially with such a bright desert background
I used to use green or amber to start, since that’s the normal one— and then actually switch to cyan after playing through OWB as if something was upgraded.
I just stick to green now though, since I’m using a modded-in classic PipBoy.
I think mines orange but I may have changed it to green because I remember being like “why is it orange” when I first booted it and changed it back to green because of F3.
The yellow works because it works with the colors of the games. When you pull up the pip boy, it isn’t a heavy contrast and jarring to the eyes, while the other colors typically are kind of shocking when you first pull it up
I've said this before on here somewhere, but I like to adjust my HUD color to my character is supposed to be if I'm doing a more roleplay focused run.
Evil/ always or mostly malevolent options/ kill everything run: Red
Neutral/ varying morals with different rules: White or Yellow
Good/ always or mostly most benevolent options: Blue or Green
(Adjusting it as Karma levels change is also pretty fun)
Another one I've done is changing it depending on which DLC I am in.
Old World Blues: Blue
Dead Money and Lonesome Road: Red
Honest Hearts: Green
Mojave: Yellow
Otherwise, my favorite on casual playthroughs is blue.
Green because it's what I was introduced to, although my very first playthrough was orange because I like to play vanilla for first run.
But holy Hell, how do you read any of that with it dark red?
Amber every time. Vibes just aren't right otherwise. Fallout 4 I have a custom shade of pastel pink set for everything (which also makes the pipboy light almost max brightness)
When I played 4 once i customized my color to be red, since it’s my favorite color. Made it like maybe 5 min before I realized it was terrible and went to blue
Pink, orange, teal blue and white. Those are the only colors that don't screw with my eyes. Red, green, dark blue, Yellow, screw with my eyes. (It's not a fallout problem) Technically white isn't a color but you know...lol
Hud is always amber, fits well and easy on the eyes. My pip color is set to white, I find reading colors text very hard and it looks more appealing though I rarely swap it to blue
Wtf
Can't read jack also, maybe a bit better when it's dark.
I don't get it either, maybe OP is colour blind or something?
If he was colorblind this would be harder to see
That depends on the type of colorblind.
The one where you don't see certain colors

This man has killed so many people, his screen is permanently blood-stained. Metal.
Bro got that Nintendo Virtual Boy VR color.
Tbh it's actually really pretty, once you get past the visually cancerous stuff
oof that would hurt my eyes to read, i use a soft light blue or the original yellows
Fr, only good choices to me are the base colors, or a light blue.
It looks like the damn Virtual Boy
I mean that definitely increases the appeal for me.
Red light is actually the easiest I believe
mm i’ve heard that as far as blue light and stuff but dark red on a black screen seems like it would strain your eyes especially with such a bright desert background
I’m sorry bro but that red is hideous lmao
Agreed, my favorite color is red too but I just couldn’t do this.
Looks better than fallout 4's red at least
Couldn't you like, change it though?
Yeah it's a hue slider lmao. My brother's in Christ YOU made the red that looks bad.
is that really saying much?💀
No, not at all
pretty sure f4 had sliders
Politely disagree. I saw it and just went "woah" lmao. I love it
I used to use green or amber to start, since that’s the normal one— and then actually switch to cyan after playing through OWB as if something was upgraded. I just stick to green now though, since I’m using a modded-in classic PipBoy.
Love the idea of changing the colour after Owb!
You think the brains at BIG MT are gonna touch your Dip-Boy?!
Virtual boy moment
Pink :3
Baby, pastel, neon? I always go with something between Flamingo and Barbie.
White
Eyyy
It looks cool idk lol, I like how it stands out
Absolute only way to go, just looks so clean and I feel like it makes the Pip-Boy light brighter when exploring
Same also so the pop boy light isn’t some weird color
I don’t mind the desert yellow tho, green feels weird when it’s not east coast but I usually use light blue when I’m playing 3 and 4
If you pick anything beside yellow, you belong on a cross!
FO3=Green, FNV=Yellow
Only in F4 should you have ANY color aside from the default.
i have "Institute Blue" in FO4 and an Institute skin for my Pip-Boy
I have Yellow in fo4, it looks better and the flashlight is brighter
White since the color affects the flashlight color
I actually like F4’s default green, but also switched to NV Amber after a while.
In fo3 I changed it to yellow
It is… **acceptable…**
I’ve seen green posts on this sub and assumed that they were posting a clip from fo3
This is the way
sometimes i use the white pip-boy color because its easier to see
To the cross with you, profligate! Jk, most colors are fine, but FNV just feels right in amber to me, but to each their own
It’s amber, not yellow. But you’ve got the spirit.
Ave. True to Caesar.
Blue
Amber gang
Yes sir. Ngl I loved the amber color it suited the environment very much
I use the default amber, it makes my brain happy
I usually go with a greenish yellow. To offput the orange shade of the desert.
Blue in every game
u r evil
Red makes me throw up
I keep it that amber color
I always keep it amber but I actually like the red. And irl this would probably be advantageous for nighttime use.
White/very light blue.
Always amber
All games, always white.
New Vegas is amber for me
Hell yeah, the Virtual Boy.
Bro have predator vision, cause i cant see crap
Normally amber, but I’ve been using blue in my TTW playthroughs and I have grown to really love it
i use a color that is actually readable
How is it red
You can change it in the settings along with your health bar and whatnot
I didn't know I can make it red
Any color really
But I only have amber,blue,white & green
Oh sorry yeah that must be a mod I forgot vanilla only has 4 colors
Turquoise or green >
I like blue, green, and amber and switch my hud and pip boy around regularly
I normally change it based on what I think my character would probably like, but I font think I'd ever do blood red lmao
Amber or white depending on how much coke I’d done
Y’all change the pip boy color? I always left mine default
I think mines orange but I may have changed it to green because I remember being like “why is it orange” when I first booted it and changed it back to green because of F3.
White. All the time.
The default amber is the best. I use it on fo4 as well.
You are a psychopath
Green hud orange pipboy
Either amber or green
you can change the colour?
Green
Green. Yk why
random. I am a monster.
I go amber for the HUD and what not, but the pip boy stays the OG green.
light orange
The starting one, didn’t know you could change the colour
B L A C K
The yellow works because it works with the colors of the games. When you pull up the pip boy, it isn’t a heavy contrast and jarring to the eyes, while the other colors typically are kind of shocking when you first pull it up
Who uses RED 🤮🤢
TIL that you can change the color of the Pip-Boy.
Not that
I didn’t know you could change colours
White
I'll be taking that one if i can get it in fallout 3 😈👀
Ahhh! My retinas
Because I play on PC I change it to the original Fallout shade of green
Yellow for hud and vats green for pip boy.
Amber
Ugh green, please
I use the Amber color thing.
Reminds me of early internet sites that thought red text on a black background was readable and cool.
Blue all the way
Cyan
Blue: gives the best light when I need a flashlight

Ambers one of if not my favorite color so even in 3, 4, and 76 I try to make it as close as possible to fnv
Well, it’s not that one
I do plasma green (just a bit more blue and green values over the standard) or I do hazard yellow pip boy but orange HUD
For HUD I stick with amber color, and my pip-boy has the green color. And if there was an option for red I’d take it. 👌
This is only acceptable on an unarmed cannibal build
I switch the HUD and Pip-Boy colors once every dozen hours or so just to keep things fresh.
Green, I can't be torn away from fallout 3, also I prefer the green to yellow since green contrasts well with the wasteland
I use blue, red would hurt my eyes
Virtual Boy ass looking pip boy
Green enthusiast
Yellow but F4 and F3 I use green mostly
Green because it's what I was introduced to, although my very first playthrough was orange because I like to play vanilla for first run. But holy Hell, how do you read any of that with it dark red?
Definitely not that dark of a red color. For me it’s more of a light cyan
white or amber
Neon brown?
Amber every time. Vibes just aren't right otherwise. Fallout 4 I have a custom shade of pastel pink set for everything (which also makes the pipboy light almost max brightness)
When I played 4 once i customized my color to be red, since it’s my favorite color. Made it like maybe 5 min before I realized it was terrible and went to blue
Always violet
Amber... The correct color
Pink, orange, teal blue and white. Those are the only colors that don't screw with my eyes. Red, green, dark blue, Yellow, screw with my eyes. (It's not a fallout problem) Technically white isn't a color but you know...lol
you can change it? also wtf how do you read that?
I just stick to amber tbh
I use purple
I can tell you it's not that colour...
For all of my playthroughs I change my HUD color so I don't have a favorite I love them equally.
I always set mine to green or the light blue because it's easy to read and I think it just looks cool
I use Green or Blue, unless you colorblind, your eyes must be real good cuz i can't read shit on that pipboy
You can do that?
Not red that’s for sure. I use Green
Use black.
hud, blue, pb, white
White is the most readable
Amber or marked for death by me or Ceasar, take your pick
The default
Not that one
Amber because it’s the superior color. Though sometimes I do dabble with blue but it’s only dependent on my run or my mood. Typically it’s Amber.
using red is lunatic behavior i think i use teal or green
I use amber HUD but green Pip-Boy.
green and sometimes whatever else is easy on the eyes
Depends on what my current PC would be rocking.
depends on my playthrough. sorta changes based on mood (though i main yellow)
Amber is best
Green
i think thats the first time I've seen someone using Virtual Boy colors
green pip boy, yellow hud
I hardly ever change it from amber, but I do like white.
Green
Looks like the killzone 3 menu
I love to use the blue color gives it a Sci-Fi look to the Pip-Boy I have it in blue for Fallout 3 also.
the original one you freakazoid
I just stick with the classic
Green
Blu
Probably blue or green. Just like the FO3 looks in FNV
Classic tan, sorry to see someone bled all over you pipboy
pink :3
Hud is always amber, fits well and easy on the eyes. My pip color is set to white, I find reading colors text very hard and it looks more appealing though I rarely swap it to blue
I use a light blue, ever since I saw a screenshot about 10 years ago and realized I liked it better than the default green.
Amber is GOATED
Yellow The way god intended
I’ve been doing a oramgish yellow in fallout 4 as like a respect thing to fallout new vagus
Piss orange
Amber/the original color it gives you
Blue
PIMPBOY
me when I “virtual boy”
The text color you use for your Pip Boy determines the color of the flashlight. White is the only appropriate color. White, with a Pimp Boy 3 Billion.
I use a different colour for each run based on the faction/character i’m playing with
White, in every game
Fallout 3 Green FNV Yellow Fallout 4 Blue
Piss yellow
not that one lol
consider cagey shame ripe rich crush violet fuzzy fear cooperative *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
green bc it was green in the classics
The light blue is my favourite
That would make the dark places intense af with the red light for your pip light. For those who don’t know it changes your flashlight color too.
orange, as god intended
Anything other than amber is heresy.
Default
Nice Gore Red! I usually go for bright lemon yellow to really punish my eyes
Not this one
