Standard, the colors are: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue. -- Many games that need one or two stashes can also be played with the Homewolrds Set, by realizing that each player can play with a combo of 2 colors, so that each player has 6 trios available in their combo.

- Red-Yellow = Shell; Green-Blue = Ocean
