Gate Color Theory
There are several Gates and connection points in the Chrono series, and each has a different color:
- Chrono Trigger Gates - Blue
- Chrono Trigger Lucca Gate - Red
- Chrono Trigger DS Lost Sanctum Distortion - Green
- Chrono Cross Opassa Beach - Green
- Chrono Cross Hydra Marshes - Green
- Chrono Cross Darkness Beyond Time - Pink
- (New Game +) Chrono Trigger Telepod Gate - Green
- (New Game +) Chrono Trigger DS Dimensional Vortex Distortion - Purple
Timothy theorizes that the Gate color determines what the Gate does. Taking the canonical items:
- Blue - Takes traveler through time, but not space
- Red - Takes traveler through time and space
- Green - Takes traveler to another dimension
- Pink - Takes traveler to Darkness Beyond Time
One can add the New Game + items to suggest that pink/purple takes a character to disrupted or discarded timelines in general, and that the Telepod gate is also green because it grants access to Lavos's temporal field.
