Vorici Chromatic Calculator: PoE Socket Colors
Calculate the cheapest way to get specific socket colors on your gear.
Socket Colors and Attributes
In Path of Exile, socket colors are biased by the item's attribute requirements. Strength armor favors Red, Dexterity favors Green, and Intelligence favors Blue. Getting 'off-colors' (e.g., Blue sockets on a Strength chest) is statistically difficult.
