Valorant Patch 5.04 added the ability to customize crosshair colors which is one of the best quality of life changes ever added to the game. A Valorant community member decided to take customization to the next level by creating a program that identifies what the best crosshair colors are for each map. Reddit user “useewhynot” created a Python program that analyzed matches from custom games to determine the perfect colors for each of the maps and here are the results.
“Optimal” Valorant crosshair colors for every map
Overall: #00b5ff
Ascent: #00e0ff
Bind: #00a1ff
Breeze: #00ffdf
Fracture: #005bff
Haven: #0078ff
Icebox: #2aff00
Pearl: #ff1d00
The player admitted that they may or may not have been too lazy to collect data for Split. For the other maps, you can use the hex codes mentioned above to set your custom crosshair colors. If you don’t know how to do so, here’s a brief explanation of the process:
Go to Settings > Crosshair > Primary, Aim Down Sights, or Sniper Scope
On the drop-down menu for Color, select Custom and input the Hex Code (6-digit RGB) value of desired color
If a non-Hex code is entered, the crosshair will revert to the previous color.
If you want to customize and set your own color instead of using any of the recommended colors above, here’s what you can do:
Choose a color that you want
Check the Hex code at the top of the page
Use the Hex code in-game to get the same color for your crosshair
Blue and Cyan are the most popular options for crosshair colors and Icebox and Pearl are the only maps that did not get the two colors as the optimal options.The thread details how the program was created and if you want to read the thoughts of the person who made the program, you can check out the original Reddit thread.
Crosshairs should be used based on personal preferences and if you think that the colors you are using are optimal, you should stick to them. The program was meant to be a fun little experiment and it is by no means definitive.
