==Overview==
Like its parent game ''Magic: the Gathering'', Color in ''Magic: the Gathering - Puzzle Quest'' is a core mechanic whose thematic flavor influences all aspects of the game.

Each of the five colours — White ({{W}}), Blue ({{U}}), Black ({{B}}), Red ({{R}}), and Green ({{G}}) — is associated with distinct principles, and different mechanics and [[abilities]].

==In Planeswalkers==
Most [[Planeswalkers]] have an affinity to one, two, or even three colors. A Planeswalker's [[deck]] may only include [[card]]s which have a color matching an affinity of the Planeswalker, as well as colorless cards.

In [[Events]], some nodes have color restrictions. Such nodes may only be played by a Planeswalker sharing a color with the node, or a colorless Planeswalker.

===Colorless planeswalkers===
Some Planeswalkers are colorless, and have special rules about what color cards their deck may include.
{| class="wikitable"
! Planeswalker
! Card restriction in deck
|-
! [[Karn, Scion of Urza]]
| Cards must share a color with the [[Events|Event]] [[Nodes|node]] on which Karn is playing.
|-
! [[The Eldrazi Desolation]]
| Cards of any color may be used.
|}

==In Cards==
Each [[card]] is either colorless, or has one, two, or even three colors.

Card [[abilities]] tend to be thematically linked to certain colors.

Ability separation by colour is weaker in ''Magic: the Gathering - Puzzle Quest'' than ''Magic: the Gathering'' for two reasons:
* Card design follows color principles less strictly
* Dual color cards can be used by any Planeswalker sharing any one of those colors, so any color-specific mechanics on such cards are more easily accessed.
