" In their initial strike, the geth killed billions of quarians. The geth
soon overran the quarian homeworld, Rannoch,
and the surviving quarians gathered their ships and fled the planet. "

"After the remaining quarians fled the planet, they remained on their
ships and created a new form of government and civilization, eventually
becoming known as the Migrant Fleet. The quarian's numbers were devastated; there
are currently only about 17 million quarians still alive"

Anyone know how, or why, quarians have different colored... air, gas, whatever, behind their visors? They all seem to be some offshoot of blue or purple, but beyond that...

Haven't read the novels. It seems likely reading them would make me even more sympathetic to the Quarians.

Omg man cmon let's read them you and me both. We can read about and feel bad for all of Cerberus' victims and maybe even read about quarian breakfast recipes, it'll be fun

quarian breakfast recipes? Now I'm curious.

I think it's just the shade of the mask that changes. Would be strange to have a species breathe different kinds of gasses.

I wasn't implying that they breathed different gases, just that thoses gases determined the color of their mask.  Now that I think of it, individuality is probably the reason.

Answered my own question!

Thats not 99% <_< we don't even know what the population was before the war. Again show me where it says 99% and how many lived before the war? Even in the history section it does not say how many survived the war, only that 17 million are alive NOW.

You have yet to show me where you get 99% from, because there is nothing to show that.

A natural romance with a Quarian is problematic to say the least, but the prize...

The Quarians started it, and the Geth finished it. Both committed atrocities against each other, and both have paid the price; one's an outcast race that's barely eight figures in population size, the other is a feared and misunderstood race that isn't even considered alive by the closed-minded (the Heretics certainly didn't help matters)

Blood for blood has to stop.

I also think it just depends on the mask lighting too. as you see in the Tali romance scene through her discarded visor. What ever holograophic interface has a colored lighting or backdrop.

Again you don't know the full population before the war, you can not pull out numbers. The only number we have is billions of Quarians. We are not even given a number of surviors. We just know there is around 17 million Quarians alive.

We know that the Flotilla has maintained a steady population (confirmed in-game), they can't let its population grow or drop. Thus, it's obvious 15-20 million Quarians were exiled from their homeworld. 

We don't know their population was, but it's highly, exceedingly unlikely that an advanced race, spanning multiple colonies, would have anything less than a billion. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in the ten billions. 

We got almost 7 billion people right now, and we're not even in space yet. It's a biological law that any species that manages to overcome its environmental boundaries will grow at an exponential rate. Every living creature exists has this capability. Quarians would've been in such a state as the dominant race of their planet. 

If you really don't think the quarian numbers were at least in the 10 digits, then you're just making your argument look even weaker by not accepting something so clear.

Billions does not mean 99%. You don't know how many lived before the war, so you can not say it was 99%.

The Migrant Fleet has always maintained 0 Population Growth to ensure they have enough supplies to supply everybody.

It was ALSO much, much smaller back then, so we can interpret that the number of survivors was actually LESS than 17 million.

Billions implies Billions in the Plural. 17 million to 1 billion is 98.3%. 17 million to 2 billion is 99.15%. There were likely many many more than that.

On to this topic now, I don't think they see everything in the color of their helmet. I think the visor is just for show, and when the visor is actually on, it filters light to actually allow perfect vision.

I base my argument off of proof in Ascension.

Interface in the helmet may provide real color video.

This is very likely.
