This topic has been on my mind for a while and it sent me on a long brainstorm session regarding how this change would affect the Rings of Hell, because the primary colors of the Sins fully or partially correspond to the Rings of Hell they rule over:
🔴 - Pride - Lucifer: while Luci is mostly white, it's because he's a fallen angel, his palette still has red, primarily through the apple motif 🍎
🟠 - Wrath - Satan: his palette consists of red and yellow, which do make orange if mixed
🟡 - Gluttony - Beelzebub: light yellow fur to resemble a bee 🐝
🟢 - Greed - Mammon: green suit that references greenbacks 💵
🔵 - Lust - Asmodeus: blue feathers (maybe the color was chosen, so the skies would look the most like actual night time, which is connected to lovemaking, I guess?)
🟣 - Envy - Leviathan: mostly purplish scales (I genuinely have no clue what possible connection there is between envy and the color purple)
🩷 - Sloth - Belphegor: palette consisting of pinks and very soft pink-adjacent purples (this makes sense to me personally because, thanks to the Medicalcore aesthetic, I do associate pink with hospitals, among other things)
So, if we make the Queen Bee 👑 🐝 motif for Greed (which, honestly, works very well as it can be associated with gold 🪙), we need to reassign the colors for the other Sins and Rings too:
Since we can no longer use Green for Greed, I think it makes sense to reassign it to Envy (as a reference to the idiom "green with envy").
With the rest, I can see different possibilities:
Gluttony: in Christianity, orange is associated with the sin of gluttony and this color, in psychology, is said to trigger food cravings (similar to a combination of red and yellow), but I can also see pink being a good choice as it can be a reference to sweets (which would work well with the whole Cotton Candy theme, which was present in the episode in the Ring of Gluttony).
Sloth: the best suited colors are soft and/or cool, so it could either be left as pink or changed to purple or blue (additionally, the rainbow can be made closer to the one in the real world and, instead of having pink, have light blue, which would be for Sloth while Lust remains blue).
Lust: could either remain blue or be changed to pink, which is more commonly connected to love, passion and sex.
Wrath: should definitely either remain orange or be changed to red as those two are the most associated with strong emotions and aggression, but red much more often.
Pride: either leave as red to preserve the apple 🍎 motif and to have the most important part of Hell, the place where Sinners are held, be of the color that's most associated with Hell... or make it purple as it's a color of royalty, which is not only closely tied to pride and vanity, but, you know, makes sense for the KING of Hell. In the case of the latter, it would be best to either have the rainbow that's similar to a real one (with the light blue) or to stay with the one we have but change the position of the pink ring, so that the purple is one of the outer rings. Whether it'll be the bottom ring or the top ring (would have to be a reverse rainbow for it to work) will depend on what someone would want story-wise: for Lucifer's ring to be the closest to Heaven of the furthest.
Here's my personal preferred system:
🔵 - Lust - Asmodeus 🔞 or Sloth - Belphegor 🏥💤
🟠 - Gluttony - Beelzebub 🐶🍗🍔🍕
🩷 - Lust - Asmodeus 🔞 or Sloth - Belphegor 🏥💤
But I'm curious to hear other people's opinions on the topic and preferred variants.
