The protagonist in Halo: Reach wears gray armor with blue accents and he looks just as badass as Master Chief.
Green is the universal color of soldiers. The regular soldiers in Halo were wearing green. Master Chief’s armor was green because he was a soldier. It made perfect sense to me.

Sure, but they had to start somewhere. Reach is the 6th Halo game.

Just want to add that, yes, Noble Six’s default armour is very cool; but you can also have them wear whatever armour and colours you like. (Including making them look basically like the Chief)

Halo reach came out way later, and doesn’t look half as good as master chief but that’s not due to the coloring and instead the worse looking armour

If I remember the Halo books correctly (it’s been a while) the Spartan armor started out a golden color but dulled to green hue due to hits from Covenant energy weapons over time. Not particularly relevant to this discussion but I thought it was an interesting bit of lore.
I need to go back and reread them. Great series and well written for the most part.
