As Halloween draws near, an orange PS5 cover would be both enticing and a fitting tribute to iconic orange mascots such as Crash Bandicoot, setting itself apart from the rest of the color choices.
The PS5 has become renowned as a modern gaming console, thanks to its distinctive white cover design that sets it apart from its predecessors and competitors. While some players appreciate the sleek white coloring, others desire a different color that better reflects their preferences. To address this demand, Sony has introduced interchangeable console covers in a variety of colors. However, there are still noteworthy colors missing from the available PS5 cover options. At present, owners can choose from Midnight Black, Cosmic Red, Starlight Blue, Galactic Purple, Nova Pink, and Gray Camouflage. Moreover, the latest State of Play announcement unveiled three additional cover options for the Deep Earth Collection, namely Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Sterling Silver, each featuring a metallic finish. While these additions are undoubtedly exciting, Sony should explore the possibility of expanding their range of PS5 cover colors even further.
Green
Although green is typically associated with Xbox's branding, the PS5 could set itself apart from Xbox's electric green by featuring a softer shade that aligns more closely with the other colors of covers available for the PS5. In addition to the two existing shades of red, which are already offered to PS5 owners, incorporating a green cover would offer an opportunity to pay homage to the classic colors of the PlayStation buttons. Utilizing the triangle button's green as the basis for this cover would further enhance its connection to the PlayStation aesthetic.
Teal
If Sony wants to distance itself from the color green due to its association with Xbox, they could consider incorporating a touch of blue into the design to create a captivating teal cover for the PS5. Teal holds significance in PlayStation's branding history, as it was featured alongside red, blue, and yellow in the original PlayStation logo. By opting for both teal and green, these distinct colors could coexist harmoniously within the range of PS5 covers.
Orange
As Halloween draws near, the allure of an orange PS5 cover becomes even more enticing, especially considering Nintendo's success with their orange Joy-Con, which has proven to be a popular choice among gamers. Throughout the years, PlayStation has introduced various orange mascots like Crash Bandicoot and Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank, so it would be fitting to pay homage to them with a thematically colored PS5 cover. Despite the console already having two shades of red covers available, a vibrant orange cover would provide a distinctiveness that sets it apart from other color options.
Scarlet
To pay tribute to another iconic PlayStation button color, Sony has the opportunity to create a PS5 cover that perfectly complements the vibrant hue of the circle button - a captivating scarlet shade. This color choice would strike a delightful balance between the current range of red covers and the potential introduction of an orange variant. Considering the limited availability of warm-colored covers for the PS5, incorporating this additional color option into its catalogue would be warmly embraced by users.
Yellow
The PS5 lacks a warm color option, specifically yellow, which none of its major competitors utilize in their branding. Considering that yellow was featured in the original PlayStation logo, it would be fitting to include it as a nostalgic choice for PS5 covers. This yellow cover could have a matte finish like the majority of the other covers, or perhaps a metallic finish akin to the Deep Earth Collection, creating a golden aesthetic for the PS5 cover.
