+==== Robot's Hull Color
+To ensure clarity and effective identification during gameplay, the following rules apply to the coloring of robot hulls:
+
+Bright and Dark Color Scheme:
+
+* All robots from a team must include two interchangeable colors: one bright and one dark.
+* These two colors must be the same for all robots in a team.
+* The color must cover at least 40% of the robot's maximum height (15 cm), equivalent to a minimum of 6 cm of vertical coverage.
+* Teams must use the same color scheme throughout the entire game.

+
+* The robot hull must not be reflective to avoid interfering with the vision system.
+* The robot hull must avoid colors close to the ones used at <<Vision Pattern, vision pattern>> and <<Ball, ball>>. 
+* Colors must adhere properly and remain durable to prevent dropping or peeling during the match. If the color cover drops, it will be penalized accordingly (see <<Tipping Over Or Dropping Parts>>).
