Change PS4 controller color for each user
You may have noticed that when more than one controller is connected to the same console, each of the ps4 controllers gives a different color. In this way, all the players have different LED colors on their controllers.
The controller on PlayStation 4 has different colors for each user. You can see it by connecting multiple controllers as each will have a different color. Now if you want to change the color of your controller, you can create multiple users on your PlayStation. This way, you can play as the user who has the color you want and shift colors as you shift users.
This color of the LED on the controller follows a unique pattern:
- The blue color is used for the very first user.
- The red color will be used for the second user.
- Green color for the third user.
- The purple color represents the fourth user.
If you want to use any one of these colors for your ps4 controller, just follow these simple steps and you’ll be good to go:
Create new users with different names. Having four users will allow you to shift to the above four colors.
Now choose the user whose color you like to be displayed by your controller.
