Colors
The GameCube controller was sold in several several different colors during the life of the GameCube. Standard colors included "Indigo" (Purple), "Jet Black", "Spice"(Orange) and "Platinum"(Silver) these were bundled their respective colored GameCube consoles and sold separately in many countries. Other standard colors sold separately included "Indigo/Clear" (Indigo/purple top with a clear bottom), and "Emerald Blue" (Turquoise) which was only available in Japan.

Nintendo released a number of limited edition controllers in Japan through Club Nintendo, these often featured a unique color scheme and logo in the centre. Club Nintendo controllers could be purchased for 500 points each and designs included a "Mario Controller" (Red top and blue bottom), "Luigi Controller" (Green top and blue bottom) , "Wario Controller" (Yellow top and purple bottom) and a "Club Nintendo" controller (White top and light blue bottom). The "Mario Controller" design was also available in limited quantities through the European Stars Catalogue for 5000 points each.

Additionally, a number of limited edition GameCube consoles have been released which included matching controllers. Colors released in Japan include "Starlight Gold", "Crystal White" , "Symphonic Green" (Mint green) , "Hanshin Tigers" (Black with Hanshin Tigers logo) , "Gundam Copper" (Two-tone red with Gundam logo)  and "Transparent" which was included with the "Enjoy Plus Pack +" bundle.

A Resident Evil 4 controller (Silver top and black bottom with logo) was available as part of a limited edition Resident Evil 4 console bundle. The Panasonic Q, a GameCube/DVD player hybrid system exclusive to Japan, came bundled with a grey Panasonic branded version of the controller.

Re-release
In April 2008, Nintendo released a white GameCube controller, exclusive to Japan. The controller has not been released outside of Japan, but Amazon.com does import the controller. This was a result of increased demand of the controller due to the Wii's backward compatibility with GameCube games and the fact that several Wii games support the controller as a primary method of control. It differs from previous editions in that it features a white cable which is 3 m (9.8") long, rather than the 2 m (6.5") black cable used on standard controllers.
