Shader

A Hunter applies a blue shader (seen as an equipped icon on the middle-right) to his armor.

Shaders are items that change the color scheme and pattern of a Guardian's armor. Certain items may be entirely recolored when a shader is equipped, while others may only be partially recolored or may not be affected by shaders at all. Only one shader can be equipped at a time. A Guardian must be level 20 in order to equip a shader.

Shaders can be obtained as a reward for completing missions, Crucible matches, Raids , mailed to the Guardian upon reaching a new reputation level with a faction, or purchased from vendors such as Eva Levante. Certain unique shaders can be only certain ways, such as from a limited time event like The Queen's Wrath and Iron Banner.
