How Does Custom Crosshair Colors Work in VALORANT?

With Patch 5.04, VALORANT added a custom Crosshair color option, allowing players to make their Crosshair any color they want. Previously VALORANT only had 7 Crosshair color options: White, Green, Yellow Green, Green Yellow, Yellow, Cyan, Pink, Red.

While these options are great and give you plenty of choices for your Crosshair customization, having more color options for your Crosshair does not hurt. VALORANT added a Hex code (6-digit RGB) option with the new custom Crosshair color update. changing the values with the right combinations for specific colors will change your Crosshair to that particular color.

For instance, if you want to change your Crosshair color to Red, instead of choosing the color Red from the given Crosshair Color options, you can choose Custom and type #FF0000 and hit enter. After that, VALORANT will change your crosshair color to Red, accompanied by the #FF0000 Hex code.

As now you know how VALORANT’s new custom Crosshair color option works, let’s get into the step-by-step guide on how to create your own custom Crosshair color:

Launch VALORANT using Riot Client.
Press ESC or click the Gears icon from the Top Right side of the screen.
Press the Settings button and go to Crosshair Tab
Go to Primary
