Each controller&#8217;s respective color accents the joystick and connection points, but the shell is still mostly dark gray.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Until now, the only Joy Con 2 colors available were red and blue: the option included with the console. Even this is fewer options than the original Switch, which launched with a Red\/Blue model and a gray model. While it&#8217;s a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things, if you live in a household with multiple Switch 2s or visit a friend with the console to play some multiplayer, it&#8217;s hard to tell the handhelds apart.
