Hi Agents -
A quick note - I know that the Halloween event is over but many of you (and the team!) like the look of the orange XM so it's going to stick around for a bit.
Out of curiosity, which of the XM colors has been your favorite?
What are some other colors we could try and why?

Looking good! 😎
I think the answer is obvious. 🌈
pls give option to buy xm color pls lemme throw money at you
I have a hard time picking between orange and rainbow, but decided on orange because of uniformity.
I wouldn't mind having these (and more) as options to buy in the store.
I love how nicely it contrasts from the portals. If I had a toggle to leave it orange permanently I would
Orange is so much easier to distinguish portals. Rainbow looked cool and I'm glad it was done but it did get confusing in dense areas. Would absolutely choose to have orange constantly if it was a preferences toggle
"Disable all bells and whistles" option - when?
Orange is the more "friendly" color with the Ingress dark theme.
But as mentioned, It would be nice to have the option to choose and customize the xm color.
It stands out more, leave it
Not rainbow 🙄
Shame that the XM is server side and not client side. I’d definitely pay for a different XM skin, there are going to be different pallets that help & hinder those with a visual impairment, so this could be popular.
The white XM was already an improvement, but the orange is really beautiful. Can we keep it, please?
If you guys ever feel like doing different colors I vote for some red chaotic xm !
With Rainbow is very difficult to see the portals, links and fields.
The two obvious choices are blue and green. Maybe even a mixture of blue and green? Or maybe blue portals make blue xm, green portals make green xm, neutral portals/random XM white. Or all these variables are user adjustable.
Remember the last time we had Dark XM? Poor people suffered from the Hulong glasses and you want it back? 😱
This was tough. Orange is great and gives some strong festive vibes.. Rainbow XM though, that's all I want and then some.
Rainbow was so bright I couldn't see anything but the damn XM. I sometimes couldn't tell if some zone is under a field or not, and if yes then how many layers it has, because of bright rainbow XM in the way. So white for now. Orange is quite good too, will see if I get used to it. It doesn't blend with neutral portals which is nice.
So while I do REALLY LOVE the rainbow and having rainbow XM for pride month, it's difficult to be able to identify portal alignment at a glance and I'm glad that it's only for a month at a time.
I chose orange because I like having the visual cues that there's an event going on, and it looks nice. The only drawback of orange is that it sometimes makes it hard to see the orange on a portal that needs recharging.
I'd be glad to see more single colors (except for res-blue and enl-green), especially for events. I also don't know if they could be muted a bit (pastel-y?) to make portal alignment / portal health easier to see. That's the real advantage of white XM - it's boring but I can still see portals/mods/health/etc.
Green, yellow, and red for black history month would be neat
Great xD
I'm having trouble settling on any of these. I think XM has more of a texture problem than a color problem. It is often difficult for me to see keys that are on the ground underneath the XM. I never had this problem with Redacted.
I like the orange better than the white. But I think orange has a seasonal element to it that works well in the fall and winter, I'm not sure I'd still want to see it in the spring. I like rainbow XM, but it also has the problem of "hiding" items on the ground. Allowing us to customize the color is a good idea, but it'd be nice to see a texture improvement above all.
I like orange
Edit: oops double post sry.
I rather haver a working game instead of colourful changes to the game
I vote the color of finding someone who can fix the lag?
I absolutely love rainbow XM for the aesthetics but it makes the game more difficult to play.
The XM color should be one that contrasts well with green, blue, and grey/white. If you look at a color wheel you will see that something in the orange family is pretty much optimal for this.
purple it's better !!!
White but give purple a go if not done yet
The colors for events is perfect, we love them but I think that the XM image quality should be fixed or put back the one that was already used in redacted that was perfect.
In ingress prime the XM is pixelated and shapeless and bad movements.
In ingress redacted the XM looked very good without pixels and well finished and fluid movements.
"Oops, forgot to change the XM color back..."
"Hey, let's have a poll to give us some more time to do this trivial task!
"Good idea!"
