Trivia

 * Chroma was first revealed during Tennolive 2015 and hinted at during Devstreams 45 and 46.
 * The word Chroma means "Color" in Greek. His name likely refers to his unique gameplay mechanic that his selected energy color determines the elemental damage type dealt by his abilities.
 * His name may also refer to Chromatic Dragons from the popular role-playing game "Dungeons & Dragons", whose elemental affinities are, similarly, indicated by the color of their scales. This connection was hinted by Community Manager Rebecca Ford in livestreams prior to Chroma's unveiling.
 * Chroma's appearance seems directly inspired by the Greek depiction of dragons, most notably his head, which appears thinner in contrast to the typical European dragon. This is further backed by the fact that his name has a Greek origin.
 * Chroma's default helmet resembles a seahorse, however many people believe that it looks more like an anteater. Many species of seahorses are known as "seadragons".
 * In certain languages, seahorses are also named in relation to "seadragons." For example, the Japanese term for seahorse is "tatsu no otoshigo" (竜の落とし子), literally meaning "illegitimate child of dragons".
 * Chroma also bears resemblance to Leafy Sea Dragons especially red ones.
