At the very least yeah. I fail to see the point of choosing my inkling's tentacle color if I'll only get to to see him/her rocking said color when playing matches a fraction of the time.

Did Jared say in the final game or just in the demo he played?

I would be surprised if it were, actually.

After watching a few gameplay videos yesterday and seeing at least 3 different shades of green, I think that when customizing your Inkling's appearance there will be a fairly extensive colour palette instead of just 6 colours to choose from.

Choosing color doesnt really make sense from what we have seen, in multiplayer the colors are always a specific set, I think it is randomized at the start of each battle.

See, the thing is, when you choose yellow, then you could only battle people with colors like purple and green. This means that the majority of players you can't battle with. That's why I think color choosing, if it is in the game, would be plaza and single player only. However people who played Splatoon said they were in the hub of the single-player mode yet they were different colors per level, meaning it is random unless it was a demo. Do we know if they were playing a almost finished version of the game or a demo? It doesn't make sense to make a demo for only a few people to play, though...

Again something else I'm not sure of; I have no idea what color to pick. I'll just wait and see.

I did wonder though, if you would be able to pick your color(s), but I'd assume you could because otherwise there would be no way to distinguish yourself from the other inklings. Also maybe it's something you could obtain as you progress through gameplay, like achievements or unlockables.

I hope so, I saw some Miiverse inklings in the main hub with different colours, so it's very possible.

Yeah, customization is a huge part of this game, so being able to choose your own color for online matches would just add to that.
I'd also be interested in some kind of voting system for ink color, aside from voting on the map/level.

It could just cycle through all the colors of the eight players in a match while giving preference to single colors first. So for example let's say there's one green inkling of the eight and they're chosen. That would automatically make the opposing team whatever its complementary color is. Purple I think in this case. Eventually everyone's color would be used on both sides.
That said, I'm sure we'll be able to choose our team's color in custom matches at the very least. It's quite possible in normal matches, it'll just choose randomly between all the various color sets regardless of what color everyone's inkling actually is.

They played a demo! That means that means the color of inkling was random in the demo but there is a chance of it not being that way in the final game!

Probably Light blue. I don't care so much for it as far as ink color goes, but it looks amazing to me on the inklings. Might change my mind between now and when I actually create my character though.

Never mind they actually did see the single-player hub world! We now know, according to the GameXplain Q&A, that online your color is random (Like I thought) and in single-player it works like Yoshi's Island in that each level has a color that your are for it. Then in the single-player hub you are that color until the next level. I really hope that you can still choose your color in the plaza as it wouldn't make sense if you couldn't. If that is the case then I'm completely fine with this.
