Ark Color IDs
Every official Ark color ID with its name, hex, and linear values, searchable and one click to copy. Pick any color and the matcher finds the closest real IDs, and the command builder writes the SetTargetDinoColor line for you.
Match any color to a real ID
Pick the color you wish existed and get the closest colors the game actually ships, by perceptual distance. Smaller is closer, zero is exact.

Frequently asked questions
- What are Ark color IDs?
- Every creature in ARK has up to six color regions, numbered 0 to 5, and each region holds one color from a fixed table of IDs. The command SetTargetDinoColor paints a region with one of those IDs, and colors set that way can be inherited by offspring.
- Why is ID 0 missing from the table?
- ID 0 means the region is unset, not a color. It only appears through mutations, and setting a region to 0 with a command does not show until the creature is cryopodded and released or the server restarts. If every region is 0 the game re-rolls all of them.
- Why do IDs 201 to 226 appear twice?
- The two games disagree there. Ark Survival Ascended runs one continuous list from 128 to 254, while Ark Survival Evolved has its own dye colorings at 201 to 226 with different values. The group filter keeps them apart.
- How does the matcher pick its answers?
- It measures perceptual color distance in OKLab between your color and every entry in the official table, then shows the three closest. It never invents a color: every answer is a real ID the game ships.
