Valkyrie armor color

[EB]

I have a question and can't seem to find the answer anywhere. The valkyries
are now different colors, but what do the colors mean?
I assume it's related to their stats, but is there a list anywhere that
shows what they mean?
There use to be a list detailing everything, but that list is no longer
around. I googled this question and came up blank.
I can figure at the most obvious:
Blue for cold or nova
Red for + life
Orange for damage return
but at a loss for the other color (such as white, amp damage?)

Forgot the source, probably AB:

Armor Color

The Valkyrie appears in different colors based on what bonuses
are found on her Armor. This works exactly the same way as it
does on player characters. The following table lists some common
affixes on the Valkyrie armor, and the associated color.

Color Possible Affixes on Armor
Rust (orange) Attacker Takes Damage Of 4-6
Red +31-40 Life
Dark Red 75% Reduced Poison Length
Blue 3-5% Chance To Cast Nova
3-5% Chance To Cast Frost Nova
+31-40 Mana
Dark Gold 24% Faster Hit Recovery
Pale Gold 66-80% Enhanced Defense (Saintly)
Light Gold +1-2 Light Radius
Gray +xxx Defense Based On Character Level

I have personally witnessed her casting AD, but I believe it's a
mod on her pike (5% chance to cast AD).

Erm... what good is plus mana to the Valk? I thought raised 'minions' of
any sort had basically infinite mana.

Thank you, I had posted the same question as the OP quite some time ago
and never got such a detailed response (where were you then? lol)
Now the only question in my mind is about some comment I seem to remember
someone (SweatSpearGirl?) making about getting their Valk to appear
wearing a certain 'set'. Does the level of the Valk affect things like
the assasins Shadow Master does? I suppose I should just go to Arreat
Summit but I am both lazy and on dialup (takes forever to load pages). :)
Much easier to get answers here in text.

Yeah, I seen the light gray one do this, but you are right it could be the
weapon.

I seen this list on the net months ago, but the page is now no longer
available.
If the Arreat Summit has it, it is hidden pretty well.
Thank you Bing for the info!!

I am not a complete idiot.
Parts are missing.

Back in the Map Hack days you could actually click on your merc and see the
gear they were wearing. Abd yeah, at certain skill levels the gear possible
gets upgraded.

Yep, the Valk's equipment does improve as you put points into her.
SweetSpearGirl's Valk is something like slvl 27, no idea wat gear she spawns
with but she's almost indestructible... shame, really, since SSG and Euyfura
can't make snarky cracks about 'Miss Frequently Recast' any more ;)

I've seen that one from one of the Diablo 2 forums. Thanks Bing!
Points of interest: I've seen my Valk has the same killing attributes as my
Zon also
I've seen her do cold and poison just like my Zon. Pretty cool.

They do, but if memory serves, the mods on the valk's gear are random and
therefore can include mana enhancements even though she doesn't need it.

I am 99% positive that the hydra comes from their amulet, my trapsin's
shadow casts it every now and then also.

Heh! I've had that too. Nova (or frost nova) is very common, either from
armour or weapon.

The colors mainly represent what kind of Valk it is. Red is a fire
immune, gold is Lightning immune and so on. They do cast other
conditions but the colors mainly represent the immunity of the valk.
This info was obtained from the Blizzard support staff.
