Roblox sells recolors of its famous Limiteds as separate items, so each color carries its own supply and its own price. A Limited is an item Roblox has stopped selling, with a fixed number of copies that players resell and trade. The ten Sparkle Time Fedoras show what that does to value: the nine colored versions each have 98 to 101 copies, and their RAP (Recent Average Price, Roblox's smoothed average of an item's sale history) runs from 4,871,499 R$ on the Red Sparkle Time Fedora up to 11,328,842 R$ on the Midnight Blue Sparkle Time Fedora. Nearly identical supply, a 2.3x spread in price. Copy count sets the rough tier a recolor lives in, and demand for the exact shade decides where it lands inside that tier.
Quick answer: Every recolor is its own catalog item with its own copy count, serial numbers and market, so prices split by color. Supply explains the big gaps, and color preference explains the rest.
| The Sparkle Time Fedora line | Verified figure |
|---|---|
| Fedoras in the series | 10 (one original, nine recolors) |
| Copies of each recolor | 98 to 101 |
| Copies of the original | 765 |
| RAP range across the nine recolors | 4,871,499 R$ to 11,328,842 R$ |
| Launch prices, 2011 to 2016 | 10,000 R$ to 100,000 R$ |
| Recolors with a listing inside 2x of RAP | 0 |
Why do Roblox Limited recolors have different prices? Each color is its own item
A recolor is the same 3D model with a new texture painted on it, and Roblox publishes each one as a brand new catalog item: new asset id, new stock, new serial numbers (the numbered slot each copy gets, like 12 of 100). The shape is shared. Each color keeps its own market, its own buyers and its own floor price. Two items that look like cousins can sit thousands of Robux apart, or millions.
The Shaggy hairstyle is the loudest example on the site. The original Shaggy sold for 50 Tickets, Roblox's second currency at the time, from January 2010 until Tickets were retired in April 2016, and it went Limited the day it left the catalog. Our catalog counts 2,071,903 copies and a RAP of 1,458 R$. The Rainbow Shaggy launched on Black Friday 2011 at 2,500 Robux with 50 copies in stock, and its RAP now reads 3,928,213 R$. Same hair, and the gap between the two is roughly 2,700x.
That is the first thing to internalize before you buy any recolor. You are buying one specific color's supply.
Do recolors with the same copy count sell for the same? The Sparkle Time Fedoras say no
This is the cleanest test in the whole catalog, because the Roblox Wiki records all nine colors launching with a stock of 100 copies, and our catalog still counts 98 to 101 of each. Supply is a constant. Everything you see below is demand.
The table is ordered by trader consensus on street value, which is what experienced traders actually pay for a copy. RAP and copies come from our catalog; the cheapest listing is the lowest price any owner has set right now.

Two patterns are worth your attention.
The first is that launch price predicts almost nothing. The Roblox Wiki documents the Purple at 10,000 Robux in October 2011, the Red at 10,000 in February 2012 and the Green at 10,000 in March 2013, then 50,000 for the Midnight Blue in June 2013, and 100,000 by the time the Pink and Sky Blue arrived in 2015 and 2016. The three that cost 10,000 Robux at launch now sit first, fourth and sixth on consensus street value. Our fedora series history walks through every color with its exact date, and the Sparkle Time collection tracks the whole shiny family live.
The second is that the deep, dark colors lead. Midnight blue, black, purple and red all sit above orange, teal and green in trader consensus. Nobody publishes a rule for this. It comes down to what looks good on an avatar next to a black shirt and a pair of dark shades, and the answer has been stable enough that traders price it like a fact. Scarcity stories help too: the Roblox Wiki records the Black selling out in about four seconds in the Midnight Sale 2015, which is the kind of detail collectors repeat for a decade.
Is RAP reliable on a rare recolor? It lags badly on thin markets
RAP moves a tenth of the way toward each new sale price: new RAP equals old RAP plus one tenth of the difference between the sale and the old RAP. On an item that trades a few times a decade, that means RAP is mostly a record of old sales. Our guide to RAP covers the formula in full.
Look at the Red Sparkle Time Fedora in the table. It carries the lowest RAP of the nine recolors, and trader consensus puts it at the top of the entire line. Both things are true at once. The RAP is low because the Red's last handful of sales were cheap and old; the consensus is high because the owners who hold Reds will not part with one at anything close to that number. When you see an item where the value rank and the RAP rank disagree by that much, thin supply is usually the reason, and the RAP is the number that is stale.
The cheapest-listing column tells the same story from the other side. Not one of the nine recolors has a listing within 2x of its RAP. Four of them are parked on placeholder numbers like 6,868,686,868 R$, which is what an owner types when the answer is no. We wrote about Limiteds listed for billions separately. Meanwhile the original Sparkle Time Fedora, with 765 copies, has a real listing at 2,860,000 R$, which is below its own RAP. In this family the plain yellow one is the only fedora you can actually go and buy today.
Do more copies always mean a lower price? No, and the Ice Crowns prove it
The Ice Crown went out on January 7, 2008 to the winners of Roblox's Winter Wonderland building contest, and 159 copies exist. Almost seven years later, on December 19, 2014, Roblox put three recolors inside Frozen Gifts of the Master Developer, and each one went Limited on its own date during 2015.
| Ice Crown variant | RAP | Copies | Cheapest listing |
|---|---|---|---|
 The Ice Crown |
1,312,382 R$ | 159 | 99,999,995 R$ |
 Red Ice Crown |
279,201 R$ | 283 | 1,090,000 R$ |
 Purple Ice Crown |
412,070 R$ | 321 | 949,999 R$ |
 Green Ice Crown |
291,845 R$ | 225 | 500,000 R$ |
The Purple has the most copies of the three recolors and the highest RAP of the three. The Green has the fewest copies of the three and ranks last of them on street value. That happens all the time inside a group of recolors whose supply sits in the same ballpark: once the copy counts are close, color preference takes over. Traders currently rank the Red first of the three on street value even though its RAP is the lowest. Our Ice Crown series history has the full background, and the crowns collection ranks every crown in the catalog live.
Which is worth more, the original or the recolor? Whichever one is scarcer
Being first helps. Being rare helps far more. The table below groups three families and orders each group by trader consensus on street value.
| Item | Family | RAP | Copies | Cheapest listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Domino Crown |
Domino, original | 5,726,071 R$ | 25 | 68,686,868,686 R$ |
 Red Domino Crown |
Domino, recolor | 2,653,087 R$ | 247 | 6,800,000 R$ |
 Bluesteel Domino Crown |
Domino, recolor | 1,086,250 R$ | 420 | 2,185,000 R$ |
 Bluesteel Fedora |
Fedora, recolor | 883,436 R$ | 150 | 7,449,999 R$ |

In the Domino family the original leads, and its 25 copies explain why. The Red Domino Crown came out of a 20,000 Robux gift box in December 2010 with 247 copies today, and the Bluesteel Domino Crown followed a year later and now sits at 420. Supply rises, price falls, in order.
The two other families flip it. The Classic ROBLOX Fedora is the most iconic hat Roblox ever made and there are 10,647 of them, so the 150-copy Bluesteel Fedora from Black Friday 2012 outprices it by more than double. The base Shaggy was a 50-Ticket item that millions of accounts bought, and every recolor in the family beats it by a factor of at least 65. Our Domino Crown history and Shaggy series history go deeper on both lines.
How to check a recolor before you pay the premium
Work through four things, in this order.
Pull up the exact color. Open the item page for the color you mean, such as Teal Sparkle Time Fedora, and read its own copies, RAP and asks. A sibling's numbers tell you nothing about the one in your trade window.
Compare the family side by side. Collection pages do this for you: Sparkle Time, fedoras, crowns, or the most expensive Limiteds when you want the top of the market in one screen. The full collections hub has the rest.
Measure the gap between the ask and the RAP. An ask within about 1.5x of RAP is a live market you could buy into. An ask at 10x, or a placeholder in the billions, means the owners are holding and the item is not really for sale at any sane number. Our price charts guide covers reading the history behind those numbers, and Deals, which needs a signed-in account, surfaces listings that fall below RAP.
Do the exit math before the entry. Roblox charges a 30% marketplace fee when you resell a classic Limited, so you keep 70% of whatever you sell for, and a flip, meaning you buy a copy and resell it later, needs roughly 1.43x your cost just to break even. On a 100-copy recolor that sells twice a year, waiting for that price can take months. The items leaderboard shows you which items are moving, and the reseller tools track your own listings against the cheapest copy on the market.
None of this is financial advice. Limiteds are volatile, thin-market collectibles, and money you put into a 100-copy recolor can sit there for a long time.
Copy counts, RAP and cheapest-listing figures are RBX Invest catalog data as of September 26, 2026, spot-checked against Roblox's own item details endpoint; release dates, launch prices and event names are community-documented on the Roblox Wiki, and the classic resale fee is Roblox's published marketplace fee.
FAQ
Why is the Midnight Blue Sparkle Time Fedora worth more than the Green one?
Demand for the color, because supply is effectively identical. The Midnight Blue has 100 copies and a RAP of 11,328,842 R$; the Green has 101 copies and a RAP of 6,384,970 R$. Dark shades have outranked bright ones in this line for years, and with copy counts one apart, that preference is the only thing left to explain the gap.
Are Roblox recolors rarer than the original item?
Often yes, when the original was cheap or widely given away. The original Shaggy has 2,071,903 copies while the Rainbow Shaggy has 50. The opposite holds for the Domino Crown, where the 25-copy original is scarcer than both of its recolors. Check each color's own copy count before you assume.
Does a recolor's RAP tell me what I would pay for it?
Only on items that sell regularly. RAP moves one tenth of the way toward each sale price, so an item with two sales a year carries a RAP built from old trades. The Red Sparkle Time Fedora has the lowest RAP of the nine colored Sparkle Times and the highest street value among them, which is what a stale RAP looks like.
Why is the cheapest listing on a rare recolor so far above its RAP?
Because the owners do not want to sell. Nine of the ten Sparkle Time Fedoras have asks at least 2x their RAP, and four are parked on placeholder prices such as 6,868,686,868 R$. Those numbers are a way of keeping the item visible without offering it, so read a huge ask as "unavailable".
Which Sparkle Time Fedora has the most copies?
The original, with 765 copies against 98 to 101 for each recolor. It also has the lowest RAP of the ten at 3,284,573 R$, and it is the only one in the line with a cheapest listing below its own RAP, at 2,860,000 R$.
Can I trade a recolor for the original?
Yes, if both items are classic Limiteds and both accounts hold an active Roblox Plus subscription, which is what opens the Trade system. A classic Limited you received in a trade sits under a 2-day holding period, a window where the item cannot be moved, before you can trade or sell it again. A copy you bought as a resale waits 7 days.
Do new recolors drag down the value of the original?
Our data shows no single answer, so judge it per family. Where the original is genuinely scarce, like the 25-copy Domino Crown, it still leads its family by a wide margin after two recolors. Where the original was a mass-market item, like the 10,647-copy Classic ROBLOX Fedora or the million-copy Shaggy, scarcer recolors passed it and stayed ahead.
Where can I see every recolor of an item in one place?
Use the collection pages, which group the catalog by family, price band and rarity: Sparkle Time, crowns, fedoras and classic hats all rank live on RAP and current asks, so you can spot which color of a line is actually liquid, meaning copies really do change hands, before you commit Robux to it.
