Chroma Highlands (Japanese: ヌリエこうげん Nurie Plateau) is an area in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.

The Chroma Highlands is a mountainous area located in the northeast of the Almia region. The land is harsh and ravaged. When the player and Keith first arrive, they find Team Dim Sun creating a dark mist by using Murkrow hypnotized by a Miniremo. The dark mist damages a ranger's Capture Styler, and can be cleared through the use of the Demist Field move. The entrance to Chroma Ruins can be found at the top of the Highlands.

Ponte spends most of his time here after quitting Team Dim Sun. He sets off to Vientown after a quest, leaving this place empty.
