How to use a custom crosshair color in VALORANT
Use a hex color that stays visible on your maps and remains separate from the enemy outline.
Quick answer
Choose Custom in Crosshair Color, enter a valid six-digit hex value, and test it on both bright and dark scenes. Change only the color first so you can judge contrast fairly.
Start from contrast, not a favorite color
A good custom color should stay separate from map surfaces, ability effects, and the enemy highlight. Cyan, green, white, and pink are useful starting families.
Enter a clean hex value
Use six hexadecimal characters for red, green, and blue. If the value is rejected, remove spaces and symbols, then confirm that every character is 0–9 or A–F.
Test before copying the final code
Preview one shape in several colors without changing thickness or gap. Once the winner is clear, export or copy the updated profile code.
Common questions
Does a custom color change the crosshair shape?
No. It changes the color while the line, dot, and outline settings stay the same.
Why does my custom color look different in game?
Monitor settings, map lighting, outlines, and surrounding colors can change perceived contrast.
