Jersey System (Civ6)

The Jersey System is a civilization color selection system introduced to Civilization VI in the February 2019 Update, coinciding with the release of the Gathering Storm expansion. It is used to prevent two or more leaders from having similar color schemes.

Each leader has four "jerseys." If the game determines that a leader's color is too similar to another's, it will use the first alternative. If the first alternative is also too similar, the game switches to the second. There are also several default colors which are used when all of a leader's alternate jerseys are taken.

Colors

There are 28 colors used for the jerseys.
