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.
Like card abilities, [[:Category:Planeswalker abilities|Planeswalker abilities]] tend to be thematically linked to certain colors. For example, [[:Category:Vigilance|giving creatures Vigilance]] and [[:Category:First Strike|First Strike]] tends to be a White Planeswalker ability. [[:Category:Draw|Drawing cards]] and [[:Category:Drain mana|draining the mana out of opponents' cards tend to be Blue PW abilities; Black PWs may draw cards, but they often have to pay Life or some other cost. Black PWs [[:Category:Reanimate|Reanimate creatures out of the graveyard]] straight into play and [[:Category:Lose life|make opponents lose life]]. Red typically does [[:Category:Damage|Damage]] directly to the opponent or their creatures, and [[:Category:Destroy gems|destroys gems ]] of the opponent's colors. Green [[:Category:Convert gems|Converts gems]] to their own colors. Green PW's identity beyond that is less clear; they often tend to be a showcase of the [[:Category:Set ability|abilities featured in their set]], or in the case of dual color walkers, have abilities of the second color. Almost 40% of Planeswalkers [[:Category:Summon creatures|Summon some sort of token creature]]; along with the broad category of [[:Category:Buffs|Buffing creatures]] it is an ability that all the colors share.
Always-Standard Origins lands are only in the "Opposed" colors, and so can be optimally used only by Planeswalkers of [[#Dual color: Ravnica Guilds|opposed pairs of colors]]. They also favor the [[#Tri color: Clans of Tarkir|Tarkir Clan Planeswalkers]] over the [[#Tri color: Shards of Alara|Alara Shard Planeswalkers]]. For example, WUR "Jeskai" [[Narset of the Ancient Way]] receives direct benefits from both {{Card URL|Battlefield Forge}} and {{Card URL|Shivan Reef}}, where the UBR "Grixis" Nicol Bolas trio only directly benefit from Shivan Reef. WBR "Mardu" [[Dihada, Binder of Wills]] benefits from Battlefield Forge and {{Card URL|Caves of Koilos}}, where WUB "Esper" [[Dakkon, Shadow Slayer]] only directly benefits from Caves.
