There's a lot of talk about Among Us names and how important they are, but a proper color/outfit can save a Crewmate's life in Emergency Meetings.
Players have a lot of choice for customization in InnerSloth's Among Us, and choosing the right color and outfits can be key to staying alive in Emergency Meetings. While the color of an Among Us player doesn't affect gameplay, whether Among Us is on the Switch, PC, or mobile, it does affect how that player appears to others.
Recently, InnerSloth announced what the most and least popular colors in Among Us were. While no one was surprised to see colors like Red, White, and Black at the top, at the end of the day a color choice in Among Us doesn't really matter. No matter what color someone picks, if they murder a Crewmate right in front of everyone else eyebrows are definitely going to get raised and they're probably going to get voted out - if they can't convince the group otherwise, of course.
The best thing a player can do is try and hide their true color as much as possible with outfits, hats, and maybe even a pet. This is because player skins don't appear in Among Us' emergency meetings and body report screens - just their color. If someone is running around in a blue jumpsuit, even if they have an orange face, it's possible that Crewmates they pass will remember "blue" instead of "orange." In Among Us matches with low visibility settings turned on, Crewmates are even more likely to make this mistake, as it's not often they will see more than the feet or body of another player.
Picking brightly-colored skins in Among Us, such as the blue overalls or white spacesuit, can help make the player's color be less memorable. Wearing some sort of large hat, like the Plague Doctor Mask, can also assist in obscuring the true color of a Crewmate's face. While there is no skin in Among Us that hides the color of a Crewmate altogether, by mixing and matching and picking bold alternatives it is possible to confuse other players, at least briefly. This isn't cheating in Among Us, it's just knowing how to play by the rules.
Among Us is all about playing mind games, and knowing how to properly combine skin, hat, and color options to create a character players have trouble picking out of a crowd is part of that. While it may not be the highest IQ Among Us strategy ever invented, players may be surprised at just how far a little bit of forethought can go in helping them be a little less easy to spot. Just try to stay away from those oversized Among Us hats - those things make players more visible than anything else, and make it almost impossible to hide behind a large box without being seen.
