The five colours
Colour is the GUNDAM CARD GAME’s main deck-building constraint. There are five, and across the 956 cards that carry one, they are distributed like this.
Quick answer
The GUNDAM CARD GAME is built on five colours, and 956 of its 1,148 cards carry one: Green 210, Blue 208, White 202, Red 184 and Purple 152. The remaining 192 cards carry no colour, which is normal for resources and tokens, which sit outside the colour system by design.
Colour, counted
| Colour | Cards | Share | Units | Pilots | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green | 210 | 22% | 132 | 28 | 50 |
| Blue | 208 | 22% | 132 | 27 | 49 |
| White | 202 | 21% | 127 | 27 | 48 |
| Red | 184 | 19% | 115 | 23 | 46 |
| Purple | 152 | 16% | 94 | 22 | 36 |
192 cards carry no colour. That is normal for resources and tokens, which sit outside the colour system by design.
Which series each colour draws on
Colours are not tied to one timeline, but they are not evenly spread across the franchise either. The most-printed source series in each colour:
| Colour | Most common source series | Cards |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Mobile Suit Gundam | 35 |
| Blue | SD Gundam G Generation ETERNAL | 39 |
| White | SD Gundam G Generation ETERNAL | 37 |
| Red | Mobile Suit Gundam SEED | 33 |
| Purple | Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS | 36 |
That is counted from the source-title field on each card’s official entry. Where a card lists more than one series we use the first official value, and we do not split a card across series in the count.
Frequently asked questions
How many colours are there in the GUNDAM CARD GAME?
Five: Green, Blue, White, Red, Purple. Every one is used by units, pilots and support cards.
Which colour has the most cards?
Green, with 210 cards — 22% of the coloured cards in the game. The gap to the smallest colour is 58 cards, so the five are close to even.
Can a deck use more than one colour?
Yes. Colour restricts what you can put in a deck rather than locking you to one, which is why units here are often printed in more than one colour across their different cards. Each card’s own colour is printed on it, and we list it on every card page.
Why do some cards have no colour?
192 of the 1,148 cards carry none. Those are the resources and tokens that sit outside the colour system.
