The 6 colors (inks) of Lorcana
- Amber — supportive, healing, and protective characters.
- Amethyst — magic, tricks, and flexible strategies.
- Emerald — agility, evasion, and efficient characters.
- Ruby — aggression, challenge, and direct pressure.
- Sapphire — control, drawing, and reactive play.
- Steel — strength, items, and resilient characters. A deck may contain up to 2 of these inks. Once in the inkwell, ink is generic and pays for any card regardless of color.
