After picking up an Overshield in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the player's [[Heads-up display]] shield display changes color from blue to red to yellow. The same is present in and ''Halo 2'', though the shield display changes color from blue to red to green instead of to yellow. In ''Halo 3'' however, the shield display only changes from blue to red. This gives the indication that each color represents one layer of shield. A visual effect that is present only in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' is the glowing effect which surrounds the user with an Overshield. This visual effect also negates the [[Active Camouflage|camouflage ability]].
