Most notably, Rey Skywalker wields a yellow lightsaber after defeating Palpatine and bringing balance to the Force at the end of Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker. Little is known about this particular lightsaber color, so whether these are made intentionally yellow to distinguish the guards, or the crystal chooses the temple guards by turning yellow is currently unclear, although characters like Asajj Ventress and Ahsoka have wielded this lightsaber color at some point. This color is singularly used by Jedi Temple guards, who carry double-bladed yellow lightsaber pikes. Here’s what each lightsaber color represents within the world of Star Wars, including the Darksaber which has become a key plot point in The Mandalorian. Up to this point, Star Wars recognizes eight lightsaber colors as part of the Star Wars canon, with each carrying a different meaning and purpose. As such, the Kyber crystals can give different colors to lightsabers, though colors like the Sith’s distinctive crimson red are obtained through different methods. Kyber crystals are uncolored, but once they are found by a Jedi, they take different colors. The Kyber crystals are what give lightsabers their different colors – these are rare, force-attuned crystals that grow in nature and can be found on different planets. These weapons consist of a plasma blade, powered by a Kyber crystal, which is emitted from a hilt and can be shut off at will.

For example, the Darksaber is a black lightsaber incredibly important in Mandalorian culture, despite Din Djarin and Boba Fett's people not being force users.
