Something I wanted to post was a little guide of my color meanings in my work. This was originally intended to be used in my bakuboot project but it’s bled into my usual art as well, so I wanted to share it for, idk? Letting anyone looking at my work know what mood I’m doodling?
My initial desire was to flip the red/blue dynamic I’m at least used to. I’m accustomed to red being the baddies and blue/light blue being healers/good guys. So, I decided to focus on making red be a “safe” color instead of “scary” like I see in horror games.
Red: safety, security, sympathetic
Blue: dangerous, self-serving, inconsiderate
Purple:…….tbh I never came up with a meaning so…SOCIETY I guess
Black: high confidence, authoritative, powerful, secure in one’s own identity and control
White: low confidence, uncertain, loss of self, desperate for control/power
Green: aspect of DEATH, cycle of life, focus on decay and dematerialization, erasure of self, representation of The Unknown
Yellow: denial of DEATH, rebellion, refusal to conform, madness, chaos, unchecked ambition toward joy or destruction
Orange: reaction to pain/trauma, HATE, rage, instinct, wrath….intended to represent a specific character but I’ve used it to depict rage in vent art
Pink: peace, healing….intended to be orange transitioning to pink
Magenta: absolute mental breakdown, psychological abuse, other abuse, all abuse? I intended a specific character to embody this color
Yeah that’s it. Woooo. Post edit: I’m so mad I can’t recolor with yellow or magenta
