Does your character have a color theme?

I was strongly pondering this as I was figuring out my character. But does anybody have a color that represents their character? If not, does your character have a color that they like or even love?

Thoughts and feelings?

Black, White, and Blood Red at the most basic.

Metallic silver, sky blue, and stark white are Alma’s.
Metallic gold, ashy black, and blood red are Errol’s.
Mossy green, rosy magenta, and flower petal white are Brook-Lynn’s.

Those are just the main characters, but a lot of my other characters have color schemes I’ve come up with as well. I’m a very visual person, as both an artist and a writer, so these things come naturally to me.

If I state colors a lot, it’s due to them being necessary for something other than identity of the character. So, I do have color that pops up, but not quite in a representational manner.

Rey? Grey, neutral tones. Some blacks. Some whites. Occasionally navy and specks of red, or even purple.

No favorite colors, but key colors often associated with them:

Marta - red

Diego - brown and silver

Beltzane - blue

Victoria - also blue, but with an opposite meaning to Beltzane

Hmm…I hadn’t thought about it that way, but maybe in regards to hair color…?

Blond hair is common enough in our country, but His Highness wasn’t blond. He was sunlight and dogwood trees and winter wheat, sunstones and white gold.

Otherwise, no. ĀÆ\_(ļ­¢)_/ĀÆ

hmm, I associate my wips with colours often, but not individual characters as often. in my current zero draft there happen to be a few with obvious colour associations.

L.E.A.I.'s is pale electronic blue, this is how she chooses to colour her hologram. she got it from ā€œoldā€ movies where holograms and other fancy ā€˜futuristic’ digital displays have blue tints and auras.

Nana’s is neon green, again keeping in theme with the chosen colour of ~fancy computer hacker stuff~ of the ancient movies. She dyed her hair green, and makes all her LEDs and virus code display neon green.

Yes! I’ve given all my MCs a designated colour, mainly so I can remember who the heck they are and who is doing what when I take out the whiteboard markers :joy: I also have designated series colours.

Amneris = deep blue
Leo = dark green
Nikki = purple
Zoe = yellow
Carmin = red
Dan = orange
Jay = bright green
Kayla = bright blue
Hathor = silver
Colt = gold
Xix = deep red
Ema = bright pink
Axel = brown
Grace = either a purple or a red. still deciding

Sweetflower almost exclusively wears green dresses. Her cult wears green too to honour her. It’s a whole thing.

The MC and three supporting characters in Smoldering Children all are different shades of red. Part of it is symbolic but their hair color is pretty on the nose.

Clementine: crimson red hair

Triss: a darker wine red

Fernie: a light candle flame orange

Jasmine: dark auburn

YES

They all do, because I love making aesthetic boards :wink:

Eryn’s is the dusty purple, pinkish purple, and black part of this aesthetic board

Me, too! :grin:

Idk why, but I thought Amneris would be purple :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh interesting! I also have a character named Jay and he has bright neon green hair. But he doesn’t go as Jay. The majority of the story he’s called by his alias, Storm.

Oh my god, me too! Or at least a darker shade of pink.

Nope. Purple is Nikki :joy: I did dark blue for Amneris because that’s the ā€œofficialā€ colour of her role

Ayyyy his colour also green?

My character Sol has neon green hair too :rofl: His colour is also bright green, but that’s a different series.

I at least thought Amneris was into pink. Guess not. :sweat_smile:

Nah, pink’s not her colour. Hathor and Ema prefer it :joy:
