[[Personification]] of the nameship of the USS Colorado-class battleships with the callsign BB-45 as depicted in [[Azur Lane]], and also one of the "Big Seven". She was initially introduced alongside her sisters in Fallen Wings event on the Chinese server in December 2017. However, a conflict between Yostar and the artist that designed Colorado and her sisters had made the event delayed for other servers until October 2018 when another artist was commissioned to redesign her.

h4. Appearance
Her "original design" by [[Rail (Silverbow)]] (post #2973322) portrays her with [[long hair|long]] [[black hair]], wears a blue and white [[sleeveless shirt]], a [[black_skirt|black]] [[pencil skirt]], a [[white_legwear|white]] [[thighhighs]] and a pair of white [[cross-laced_footwear|cross-laced]] [[high heel boots]] that displays her hull number.

For Colorado, she now sports a long [[white hair]]. She still wears a sleeveless shirt albeit now in black and white and showing her [[sideboob]], as well as a black [[coat]]. Her legwear is now changed to a cross-laced [[thigh_boots|thighhigh boots]] and no longer having a cap.

h4. History
In real life, [i]Colorado[/i] was the first of her class to receive upgrades that were originally planned in 1940. These were to have replaced her 127 mm single mounts with the newer twin mounts Mk. 28 that were entering service with the [[North Carolina (Azur Lane)|]] and [[South Dakota (Azur Lane)|]] classes but she only received torpedo bulges on the West Coast given the dire urgency of the situation, and thus was spared from damage when Pearl Harbor was attacked.

Little to no modifications were afforded to her and her sister [[Maryland (Azur Lane)|]] apart from rolling upgrades to their AA guns, while they saw service for patrol and shore bombardment duties through the war. She arrived in Leyte Gulf too late to participate in the battle, and was decommissioned in 1947.
