Color: Black Gender: Male He dreamed of becoming a Colorist and applied to join various Pioneer Corps, but was rejected because he was Colorless. However, he eventually obtained the color black. He accumulates color by absorbing the colors of other Colorists or by absorbing creatures. Skill: Black Armory (Extracts color as weapons) Affiliation: Dawn Pioneer Corps Public opinion of him is quite negative, as others associate his black color with the Black Witch and creatures.

Name: Ellie Cyan Gender: Female Rank: D A woman from the House of Cyan, one of the three great families. A woman with long blue hair and a cold impression. As the second daughter of the prestigious House of Cyan, she is considered a top genius among the new recruits. She uses abilities similar to ice. Perhaps due to pressure from her family, she shows a strong drive to be the best. She becomes interested in and stimulated by Kay's skills and the fact that he appeared with a visible color. While she usually maintains a cold and composed personality, she shows a gap moe side—such as silently hugging Kay when he shows her Nero during an investigation, being flustered when he runs away, or talking in her sleep because she is weak in the mornings due to her ice-affinity constitution. She is close to her teammate Marie. Color: Sky Blue Ice Affiliation: Dawn Pioneer Corps

He is usually laid-back and rarely uses his full power, but he evaluates Kay's growth potential as astonishing. Affiliation: Dawn Pioneer Corps He serves as the team leader for the four rookies: Kay, Marie, Ellie, and Gail. He teaches Ellie, Gail, and Kay how to use "Chroma" (a technique of coating weapons or the body with color rather than just emitting it, which enhances overall strength and is essential for Colorists).

Name: Marie Gold Kay's childhood friend. She possesses great technical skills, even crafting Kay's Dropper. She was originally a Colorless woman running a workshop, but when she was captured by a laboratory she had been held in as a child and fell into black ink, Kay saved her.
