'''Armor customization''' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' allows a player to change the color of their armor, and in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection|MCC]]'' only, customize the color of their helmet's visor too. Unlike later [[armor customizations|armour customization systems]], the player cannot change their physical armor model in ''Halo: CE'', or assign a secondary or tertiary armor color.

==Colors==

Armor color customization has existed in ''CE'' since its initial release on the [[Xbox]] in [[2001]], and has remained unchanged since. It allows players to pick the color of their entire armor set, with the exception of the undersuit and certain sections of the bracers and greaves, which will remain black regardless of color choice. Unlike later games, no secondary or tertiary armor colors are available; the entire armor will be coated in a single color. The set of colors available has not changed between any of the ports, remasters and rereleases of the game.

A total of 18 colors are available for use in ''CE'':

On the [[2020|13^th of June 2020]], alongside the launch of [[Series 2: Spark]] for ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', [[343 Industries]] retroactively added the ability to customize the player's helmet visor color, first introduced in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', into the ''MCC'' port of ''Halo: CE''. This was added alongside a larger update to ''MCC CE's'' cosmetic customization options, which also added [[Skins (Halo: Combat Evolved)|weapon and vehicle skins]]. To allow players to experience the game as it originally released, a toggle was implemented that allows players to hide all new skins and visors and show only those customization options that were available at the launch of the original game.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045689232-Halo-The-Master-Chief-Collection-Patch-Notes-7-14-20|Site=Halo Support|Page=Halo: The Master Chief Collection Patch Notes – 7/14/20}} These options are specific to ''MCC CE'', and do not exist in ''CE'' on [[Xbox]], its original [[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|PC]] and [[Halo: Combat Evolved for Macintosh|Mac]] ports, or the [[Xbox 360]] remaster, ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Halo: CE Anniversary]]''.
