The Chroma Collection released in January 2015. It drops from the Chroma Case and is led by the AWP Man-o'-war and the cult-favourite Galil AR Chatterbox.
The case has left the drop pool. Both Coverts still trade well, and the Chatterbox has a following well above its weapon class.

The Man-o'-war is a blue metallic base coat with hand-painted metallic gold swirls, a formal, decorative AWP finish from the Chroma era. Its float floor of 0.10 means there is no Factory New, so copies sit in Minimal Wear and early Field-Tested around €95, while the Galil AR Chatterbox runs higher and carries a cult following.
"Man-o'-war is hand-painted gold on blue, but the Chatterbox is the sleeper collectors chase in Chroma."
Chroma Collection skins drop from the Chroma Case, a knife-era case with new knife finishes as the rare special. Compare live prices on our markets page.
You can trade up ten same-rarity skins from this collection toward the tier above, and since 2025 you can craft a knife from five Covert items. The expected value is negative, so craft for the item, not the profit.
Chroma has left the drop pool, so supply is fixed and the collection carries the interest of an early knife-era set. The Chatterbox and Man-o'-war both hold demand. A steadier hold than an active case collection.

A 2015 case collection of 17 weapon finishes. Its Coverts are the AWP Man-o'-war and Galil AR Chatterbox.
The Galil AR Chatterbox, up to around €329, above the AWP Man-o'-war.
Its float floor is 0.10, so the cleanest grade available is Minimal Wear.
Since 2015-era knives are in the pool, you can craft a knife from five Covert items since 2025. The expected value is negative.
The case has left the pool and both Coverts hold demand, which supports value over time.
