Trivia
- The word 'chroma' is Greek for 'color', reflecting how a Chroma is a skin in 'another color'.
- Certain chroma assets will get updated if the parent skin/champion receives a new set of chromas or the champion in questions receives a visual overhaul.
- Chromas only change the base texture of their parent skins though on rare occasions, will change their particles.
- Each Chroma pack released prior to V6.17 were only available as part of a bundle, and had unique collection names. For example, a wearing a Chroma of his Classic skin would appear as Lucian Prime in the Loading Screen.[1]
- For maintenance purposes, bundle names have been dropped from the League of Legends Wiki. The following is listed for archival purposes:
- Before V7.22, Chromas went on sale for
IP twice a year. During
IP sales, individual Chromas costed

IP became
BE, making the cost for Chromas
2000 or .
- Chromas are considered non-canon.
