Best saber color?

[Ace]

K, so hopefully gonna start my new playthrough soon, if I can actually get it to work, I have a question. What is the best saber color? I'm thinking about going purple, but I wanna know the best. Your opinion?

Depends, if you want a roleplay point of view you need to follow the path of the jedi or the sith, and evolve your thinking just to find the right kyber cristal, purple lightsaber in the legends is the hidden jedi, very powerfull swordmaster like Mace Windu. My preference is light... white with yellow and Green with white. If you are using JA+ in online you can make your saber with RGB colors

Purple all the way

Funnily enough Jaden was confirmed to have a Purple saber which then changed to yellow in the book "Riptide". But personally I use a modded version of green.

If you are going to try to quote legends, at least do it right!
The saber color has to do with the philosophy for the force, not their skills. Blue for the jedi that is focused on physical use of the force, green for those focused on knowledge and thought, yellow for those balancing between the two, with varying tints for those to indicate level of agression or mixing between ideologies. Mace windu was VERY agressive as a jedi, thus he wound up with a purple crystal (actually, rumor is he has one because Samuel L. Jackson asked to have a purple saber). The idea is that this was how it worked in the olden days, while the jedi of the timeframe the movies cover have lesser access to crystal caves, pretty much exclusively using Illum, IIRC. The EU (legends now, I guess, thanks disney) actually made the statement that at the time of Luke's New Jedi Order (the timeframe of this game) sabers no longer used the traditional crystals, instead using various other crystals so you had a ridiculous variety available.

Under disney canon, crystals are colorless and don't gain color until they are attuned to a jedi.

Under both, IIRC, the red sith blades are a result of forcing the crystal to bond with a 'sith'.

Red crystals in Legends were either natural (I assume it could be bonded) but the majority were Synthetic. I also think in the Darth Bane book Qortis claims that synthetic crystals made for better lightsabers, but that could be Sith arrogance or my bad memory.

That was in reference to Sith synthetic crystals being able to strengthen the blade via chanelling the dark side. Although, it could also apply to synthetic crystals being molded specifically to the one who made, making it as close to a perfect match as one could get. IIRC it also resulted in unique color.
That is, of course, under legends canon. I don't remember if artificial ones even exist under disney canon.
I really don't like how disney tossed out decades of established lore, then turned around and lifted ideas from the stuff they just tossed out. Really annoys me. Yes, the EU could be a bit of a mess here and there, but it was still reasonably coherent on a per-plot basis, parts of a series rarely had signifigant contradictions of each other, as far as I'm aware.
