Empire based K-Space destinations, ie: High-Sec holes, will take on the color of the nebula that exists in that empire. As all 4 empires are color coded for a variety of game mechanics, so too does this color association exist for High-Sec Wormholes. {{Co|Gold|Amarr}} is gold, {{Co|Blue|Caldari}} is blue, {{Co|Green|Gallente}} is green, and {{Co|Red|Minmatar}} is red.

|Wormholes leading to class 1 systems have grayish clouds with some black spots and some blue and cyan details. A wormhole leading to C1 system may look similar to a wormhole leading to C2 or C3 system, the most notable difference is lack of any notable detail.

It is worth noting that C1 connections can never be larger than "Medium" - meaning they will (with the exception of frig holes) have the teal connection (see chart below) - So if you are unsure, and it has a White Aura, then it cannot be a c1 connection

|Wormholes leading to class 4 are mainly dark red with one bright white cloud and some distinct black spots. The color of a wormhole to C4 system is unique making it easier to identify by color instead of shapes.
|Wormholes leading to class 4 are mainly dark red with one bright white cloud and some distinct black spots. The color of a wormhole to C4 system is unique making it easier to identify by color instead of shapes.
It is worth noting that a c4 connection can never be a Very Large connection - meaning they will never have the Orange aura (see below) - so if you are unsure if it is a c4 or c5, check if it has an orange aura or can take very large ships - if so, it must be a c5.

|A royal blue aurora indicates wormholes that only allow frigate-mass ships (5,000,000 kg). This is the most important one to recognize as it will allow scouting frigate to pass through but deny the main fleet from jumping.
|A royal blue aurora indicates wormholes that only allow destroyer-mass ships and below (5,000,000 kg). (This includes the [[Porpoise]], but not mining barges.) This is the most important one to recognize as it will allow scouting frigate to pass through but deny the main fleet from jumping.

|A wormhole with a teal aurora allows medium sized ships, including cruisers, battlecruisers and industrials, to pass through (20,000,000 kg or 62,000,000 kg depending on type).
|A wormhole with a teal aurora allows medium sized ships, including cruisers, battlecruisers and industrials, to pass through (20,000,000 kg or 62,000,000 kg depending on type). Notably the [[Nestor]] is the only battleship that can be flown through this wormhole.
