The colors of each individual Kingdom Hearts correspond to its composition. For example, the Kingdom Hearts constructed by [[Organization XIII]] from the "hearts of men" is yellow, while the Kingdom Hearts revealed by Master Xehanort's use of the χ-blade is blue. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the Kingdom Hearts, once again summoned by Xehanort, was a fiery gold, but whenever Xehanort corrupted it or drawn power from it, it becomes a conglomeration of dark and foreboding colors, including purple and dark blue. As it prepared to purge the universe, it was fiery orange.<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 26; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "I think of "all life has heart" as the most basic premise of KH. The heart of worlds was a great heart that gathered everything that formed those worlds: the natural things such as the trees in the forests, the oceans and rivers, the flowers and such. The heart of people, as it is called, was the collected hearts of the humans and animals and such that lived in those worlds. A Kingdom Hearts is considered to be an aggregation of the originally invisible "proofs of life" known as hearts." Translation via Goldpanner.</ref>
Kingdom Hearts usually manifests as a bright, heart-shaped moon in the sky, with a darker aura surrounding it. Kingdom Hearts is a source of tremendously-powerful light, and the surrounding aura consists of equally-powerful darkness - in essence, it represents the brightest light shining in the deepest darkness.

===Abilities===
According to Xehanort, one who opens the door to Kingdom Hearts will be able to destroy the current universe, called "the World", and create a new universe, called the "Next World" {{storylink|Xehanort's Report IV}}, shaped any way that they desire. This person would be "reborn as something far greater than human", and also "[gain] control over all worlds and all people."{{storylink|Xehanort's Report VI}}.
===Entering Kingdom Hearts===
{{main|χ-blade}}
Opening the door to Kingdom Hearts usually requires the [[χ-blade]], a legendary weapon that co-exists with Kingdom Hearts itself. In ancient times, the [[χ-blade]] was broken into 20 pieces, 7 of light and 13 of darkness. As such, to reforge the weapon, 7 beings of light and 13 beings of darkness must clash in combat. While it is possible to forge the [[χ-blade]] with as few as 1 being of light and 1 being of darkness, doing so will result in an incomplete and unstable version of the weapon.
Once Kingdom Hearts has been opened, it is possible for those without the χ-blade to enter it as well.
Alternatively, Kingdom Hearts can also be opened without the [[χ-blade]] by merging oneself with it, at which point a physical door will appear to allow anyone else entry inside. However, it should be noted that this has only happened with a replica, and not with the True Kingdom Hearts.
=== Forms ===
There currently exist four forms of Kingdom Hearts, each with varying appearances and methods of creation. <ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 26; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "I think of "all life has heart" as the most basic premise of KH. The heart of worlds was a great heart that gathered everything that formed those worlds: the natural things such as the trees in the forests, the oceans and rivers, the flowers and such. The heart of people, as it is called, was the collected hearts of the humans and animals and such that lived in those worlds. A Kingdom Hearts is considered to be an aggregation of the originally invisible "proofs of life" known as hearts." Translation via Goldpanner.</ref>
==== Kingdom Hearts of worlds' hearts ====
This form is located in the [[Realm of Darkness]], and is created by the combined hearts of worlds that have been destroyed by [[Heartless]]. Once enough worlds have fallen to darkness, fragments of them gather as the [[End of the World]]. The [[Door to Darkness]], granting access to the Realm of Darkness, will appear, and Kingdom Hearts will reside just beyond the door. This Kingdom Hearts manifests as a dark silhouette behind the Door, though its light is made evident when the Door is opened.
==== Kingdom Hearts of people's hearts ====
This form is located in [[The World that Never Was]], and is created by the stolen hearts of people, released by defeated heartless. It manifests as a yellow heart-shaped moon with a dark blue aura surrounding it. When it is damaged, the moon has a large purple crater in the center, and the surrounding aura changes into a bright purple.
Additionally, a second instance of this form appears in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], where it formed from the hearts of slain Keyblade wielders during the Keyblade War. This version appears as a pale blue moon, with no noticeable aura.
==== Kingdom Hearts of the incomplete χ-blade ====
This form is located in the Keyblade Graveyard, and is formed when a being of pure darkness clashes in combat with an equivalent-strength being of pure light. This clash simultaneously creates an incomplete version of the χ-blade, a legendary weapon that is normally capable of opening the door to enter Kingdom Hearts. This version is once again a pale blue moon with no clear aura.
==== True Kingdom Hearts ====
This form is once again located in the Keyblade Graveyard, and the method is similar to that of the incomplete χ-blade. For this, instead of 1 light and 1 darkness clashing, there must be 7 lights and 13 darknesses clashing. To "clash" can be as minimal as a single swing, and the amount of victors, survivors, or casualties on either side does not matter. Once this process is done, the completed χ-blade as well as the True Kingdom Hearts will appear.
This version's colors are the most dynamic. When initially summoned, its color is a fiery gold. When Xehanort draws power from it or corrupts it with darkness, it takes on a dark blue or purple appearance. When it gathers power to recreate the universe, it is a fiery orange.
