Color

Penguins can choose from a variety of colors (spelled colour outside USA) to wear. When people first make a account, they are asked to pick a free starter colour from 14 options. Colours are also bought from the Penguin Style catalog in the Gift Shop for 20 coins each.

They are available to members and non-members. As time goes on, it is predicted there will be more colours to choose from.

The colours are as follows, going respectively with the picture:

Unavailable Colors
A lot of colors are thought to secretly exist in the Club Penguin world by some players. Although they are nothing more than a rumor, people go to many depths to find out such things. Some significant penguins (Billybob, Rockhopper, etc.) around the island have some colors/colours that are unavailable to the public.


 * White : White penguins do not exist, as some people think they do. This was proved in an edition of The Penguin Times. The only time a penguin could ever be white was by wearing the ghost costume from the October 2006, 2007, and 2008 Clothing Catalog or the mummy costume from The Stage. Aunt Artic answered the question of why white doesn't exist as a color by saying that penguins would "blend in" with the snow. You can get this color with a program called Penguin Blast, but this is against the Club Penguin rules.
 * Beige : Simply a variant of Brown, beige penguins do not exist in the online Club Penguin, although they do in Elite Penguin Force.
 * Gray : Sensei wears this color, although it is not available to the public.
 * Lavender : It was one of the choices for the 2006 color vote, however it was beaten by Lime Green. It then returned to the 2009 Color Vote, but lost to Aqua.
 * Old Blue : See main article Old Blue for more information regarding this subject.
 * Gold : More like yellow and brown, this color is not available, but it can be used with Penguin Storm, which is legal but against the Club Penguin rules, like all cheating programs.
 * Dark Black: Billybob and Rockhopper (but Rockhopper never uses it, it was discovered when someone entered in his account) have this color. It can be used if the player has Penguin Storm, which is against the Club Penguin rules. Penguins in .swf games also use this color.
 * Silver : With Penguin Storm 5, players were able to make their penguins silver. Using this software is against the Club Penguin rules. Silver look similar to the gray of Sensei, though differences can be seen when you compare the two.
 * R a i n b o w - Many penguins think this color exists. Some penguins have used WPE Pro to cheat and get it but please note that this is against the Club Penguin rules.
 * Maroon : It was another choice for the 2009 color poll, but like Lavender, it lost to Aqua.

Color Vote
The winner to the Color Vote 2009 is Aqua, which can be bought in the Penguin Style Catalog today. Lavender, once again lost to another color, like in the Color Vote 2006, which Lime Green won.

However, Screenhog posted that they used gray penguins in examples as gray is "neutral", and goes with any color (Eg. If they used a yellow penguin to make a shirt, then the shirt might not look good with any color other than yellow)
