“Champion colors” can mean The Champion character’s palettes or the Animated Chromatic palette. This guide distinguishes the two.
Color 8 community route
Community report: clear a character’s Action Checks and Combo Challenges in Character Lesson to unlock Color 8 for that character.
The same report says level-up missions and custom combo trials are not required. Confirm the live lesson checklist because the official page does not publish this condition.
Repeat per character
Community report: unlike the roster-wide Colors 6 and 7, Color 8 must be completed on each character. Verify one character before planning a full-roster grind.
Animated Chromatic official route
Official: Ultimate Edition includes an Animated Chromatic color unlock for all 20 launch characters. The PlayStation listing presents it as edition content.
Do not grind Character Lessons expecting that animated palette; the checked official source ties it to the Ultimate Edition.
Choose the correct objective
If you want a normal eighth palette, inspect Character Lesson progress. If you want the animated chromatic effect, inspect the owned edition and entitlement.
Unknown: future standalone availability, upgrade paths, or post-launch changes are not promised by the checked sources.
