What color is Meta Knight's cape?

Meta Knight's cape is blue, typically depicted as a deep or dark blue.

The cape is one of Meta Knight's defining visual features, appearing behind his armored body and mask in much of the Kirby series. Its dark shade helps distinguish him from Kirby while reinforcing Meta Knight's mysterious, knightly presentation.

Meta Knight first appeared as a masked rival and sometimes ally in Kirby's Adventure, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. His cape is not merely clothing: in several games, it can transform into wings, allowing him to fly. This gives the character a dramatic transition between his warrior and airborne forms.

Some artwork, lighting effects, and alternate game designs can make the cape look blue-purple or violet. That variation causes frequent confusion, especially when comparing different sprites, illustrations, or playable color palettes. The standard canonical description remains blue, while purple is best understood as a shading or design variation rather than the usual answer.
