As @Sharnak said, because they’re members of a team, it would be awkward to call them gray, gray, gray, silver, silver, and silver, therefore they would be called by their highlights instead.
The gold definitely makes up the co-primary category, and besides the “black” is the color of the armor and the green is primarily underneath, this is relevant because in Artakha’s description his armor was said to be gray-green, not gun-metal.
But with respect to Matoran Universe inhabitants, the word ‘armour’ is used simultaneously to describe what we would call skin as well as external armour.
In fact, there is often no difference between the two. Any protective covering is part of their body. So saying that his armour is green, it could be in reference to his ‘skin’ colour, or it could be in relation to external armour.
It should also be noted that external armour seems to be kind of rare in the story. The only beings that I can recall being stated to have external armour is the Toa Nuva, with their Nuva Armour and later their Adaptive Armour.
So the green likely refers to his true colour, as that is how the word ‘armour’ is usually used in the story.

Good point, but that still doesn’t change the fact that it’s not primarily green, the black and gold are definitely in a higher amount outwardly.

Here’s my entry, idk if it’s fully consistent with the Bionicle aesthetic, but it was a lot of fun to build:
This is my Artakha Moc. Hopefully I did a good job!
Here’s my version of Artakha:
how exactly do I post my entry, just asking to make sure, I am going to participe in the drawing part of the contest, so I want to know in advance how to do it. BTW I am relatively new to the site.
Assuming entry guidelines are the same for the MOC to Art portion, you’d post your art with (Meet the Maker) somewhere in the title, and then link your post to the main topic for the art contest.

Of course the art contest hasn’t started yet so you have a bit of a wait ahead of you.
oh OK thanks a lot
