well i heard from my friend that the colours of item names tells you the rareness of it

anyone tell me a key for the colours?

In order, starting with least rare

White
Blue
Purple
Gold
Green is the latest to be added in a recent update, but these are a special item that cannot be upgraded. A max gold with perfect upgrades is still the most rare.

White = regular drop or regular collector's item - no mods
Blue = special drop or modded collector's item - either bad mods (drops) or max/strange stats (collector)
Purple = uncommon drop - slightly better than blue
Gold = rare drop - better than purple, can have max stats
Green = unique drop - max stats, max mods

Generally, sell white, blue, and purple drops to the merchant. Gold and green drops you want to keep or sell to other players, although often gold drops are sometimes better off sold to the merchant. Try asking in our Price Check forum about golds.

Exceptions for whites, blues, and purples are when it involves a rare skin graphic (Crystallines, Dwarven Axes, etc.) In those cases it's better to ask first.
