What CASECS2's bright labels mean
The CASECS2 matrix displays Classified as #d32ce6 and Covert as #eb4b4b. Their Russian labels are 'Засекреченное' and 'Тайное'. These are category-display details in our interface. A red strip does not establish a high price, and a purple-pink strip does not describe surface condition. Check variant, exterior and individual decoration separately when those properties matter to your decision. Treat the marker as one attribute rather than a complete assessment.
Do not transfer marker brightness to the design
A card may look dramatic because of its category strip while the actual finish has a restrained palette. For a coordinated inventory, separate the border from the weapon: assess surface colors, accents and artwork. If the design suits you, grade remains additional information. If it clashes, a brighter marker cannot repair the palette mismatch. Record the visual reason for inclusion rather than only the name of a higher category.
Price cannot verify the grade
If somebody presents an expensive item and asks you to infer rarity from the amount, request the written category. A listing's value may include individual details, while the amount is not an official rarity field. Without confirmation, do not guess between Classified and Covert. Check exact name and item type. For price comparisons, match variant and exterior first so that the conclusion does not describe a mixed group of offers.
Keep both category labels readable
| Category | Russian label | CASECS2 color |

Preserve category text when exporting records; color is a secondary cue. Check inclusion and opening conditions on the specific case page. Read the cross-weapon palette guide for composition. Search finish names in the finder instead of substituting an interface border shade for identity.
