1. How To Change Joy Con Color
2. Change Joy Con Color Through Software Windows 10

Are you bored with the same controller colored icons on the Nintendo Switch, wish they matched your different colored joy cons or pro controller from games like Splatoon 2. Well, now you can make the controller icons any color you want to thank’s to the Joy-Con Toolkit v1.0 by CTCaer.

The Joy con tool kit is simple and easy to use, all you need is a Bluetooth adapter and a Windows PC with .net framework v4.5.x and Visual c++ 2015 x86 redist installed. If you don’t have a Bluetooth adapter the program will fail to start and the same goes for .net framework & visual c+ these must be installed first before you run the Joycon tool kit. Also, you’ll need to pair the Joy con’s or pro controller to the PC before you start the program.

Once you have everything installed and the controller’s pair to the PC, it’s time to open up the Joycon tool kit and backup your SPI flash before doing anything else. It may take a little bit and the program might stop responding but don’t worry its still working and doing its thing.

Now that you’re done backing up the SPI file time to change those icon colors to match your controllers or just your favorite colors.

Once you pick out the colors you want to use just hit write body color and then write button color and that’s it your done. Now the Switch will display the color you pick every time that controller pairs to the Switch up in the top-left hand corner or in the controller settings on the main menu.

The icon display on the main menu of the Switch in the bottom left-hand corner does not change as that icon is part of the Switch and the joy con tool kit only modifies the icon inside of the controller. So you don’t have to worry about anything as this tool kit does nothing to your Switch and only changes the icon inside of the controller that the Switch reads and displays.

What it can currently do:

• Change colors of your Joy-Con or Pro Controller
• Backup your SPI flash
• View S/N and MAC address
• View Firmware version

What you need:

• Bluetooth adapter
• Windows PC

Changelog:
v1.0: Initial release

Before you do anything, make a backup of your SPI flash.
When you change colors, before 3.0.0 update you need to restart your Switch and then pair, for colors to take effect.
For 3.x.x just pair the controller with Switch.
The custom colors in the color dialog are the retail ones.

Color Meaning

Red

Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a color found in many national flags.

Red brings text and images to the foreground. Use it as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions; it is a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons on Internet banners and websites. In advertising, red is often used to evoke erotic feelings (red lips, red nails, red-light districts, 'Lady in Red', etc). Red is widely used to indicate danger (high voltage signs, traffic lights). This color is also commonly associated with energy, so you can use it when promoting energy drinks, games, cars, items related to sports and high physical activity.

Orange

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance.

Yellow is an unstable and spontaneous color, so avoid using yellow if you want to suggest stability and safety. Light yellow tends to disappear into white, so it usually needs a dark color to highlight it. Shades of yellow are visually unappealing because they loose cheerfulness and become dingy.

Black

Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.

Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown (black holes). It usually has a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor, 'black death'). Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black Mercedes). In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief.

Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth, but a black background diminishes readability. A black suit or dress can make you look thinner. When designing for a gallery of art or photography, you can use a black or gray background to make the other colors stand out. Black contrasts well with bright colors. Combined with red or orange – other very powerful colors – black gives a very aggressive color scheme.
