Colour of Lumina is an important upgrade item in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 because it lets characters equip more Lumina passives from Pictos. This guide explains what Colour of Lumina does, how to spend it, and which characters are best to upgrade first.

What Colour of Lumina Does
Colour of Lumina is used to increase a character’s Lumina Points. Lumina Points let you equip more passive effects from Pictos.
This makes Colour of Lumina very useful because it gives your characters more build options. The more Lumina Points a character has, the more passive bonuses they can use at the same time.
How to Use Colour of Lumina
You cannot use Colour of Lumina directly from your inventory. To spend it, go to camp and talk to The Curator.
From there, choose the character you want to upgrade and spend Colour of Lumina to increase their Lumina Points. This upgrade is permanent for that character.
If you do not see the option yet, keep progressing the story until The Curator joins your camp.
How Lumina Works With Pictos
Pictos give stats and passive effects when equipped. After using a Picto enough in battle, you can unlock its passive as a Lumina.
Once unlocked, that passive can be equipped with Lumina Points even if the Picto itself is not equipped. This lets you stack useful effects without being limited to only three Picto slots.
Who to Use Colour of Lumina On
Use Colour of Lumina on characters you play often. Your main damage dealer is usually a good first choice because extra passives can boost damage, critical hits, AP gain, or survivability.
It is also worth upgrading support characters if they need more utility passives. Do not spend everything on one character too early unless you are sure they will stay in your main team.
Best Way to Spend It
Focus on useful passives first instead of equipping random Luminas just because you have points. Good passives are usually the ones that improve damage, AP generation, healing, defense, or break damage.
As you unlock more Pictos, check your Lumina setup often. A better passive can sometimes improve your build more than a small stat upgrade.
