Have you ever saw a couple with an odd color match in a bl?
For example a pink x green. I mean these colors are a match in color theory and I would think they Make a good contrast when we talk about people (pink being more romantic and daydreaming while green may be someone more mature and down to earth) but we it's something rare to see?
@brazilian-whalien52, to answer your question before I mention a whole bunch of other stuff . . .
TLWR: I don't find any color-coded pair really odd if it's two different colors. I like the diversity of color coding and the stories the colors tell. The only thing I find odd is when colors are the same since that goes against the norm regarding romantic pairings, which isn't a bad thing.
I like that your example of an odd couple was pink x green, only because that coloring is reserved for friendships and family connections.
I would love to see a romantic pair color coded that way because I like different colors getting paired up, but secretly, I'm always rooting for the Purple Pretties x Brown Beauties since one is extravagant and the other is down-to-earth.
We've only gotten one pair with this actual color coding, and I desperately want more.
Which is why I'm thrilled I'm getting a new color coded pair in Wandee Goodday!
But the couples I find odd in regards to color coding are the couples with the same color (Tharn x Phaya are NOT the same color).
Quick color terms:
Hue - The main color
Tone - When grey is added to the main color
Shade - When black is added to the main color
Tint - When white is added to the main color
Visual media tells us those who share the same color are too similar to work out romantically.
So whenever I get a romantic couple who shares the same color, I get confused. For example, before the yellow was introduced in La Pluie, Tai was light blue and Phat was dark blue.
One was usually neutral blue (the main color), and the other was either a tint (white added to it - Tai) or a shade (black added to it - Phat).
So theirs really should have been a story about how even though they were soulmates, they wouldn't work romantically because they were too similar.
The same for Secret Crush on You's Sky and Jao.
Pink is not a separate color on the Color Wheel. Violet is, which is a third-level color mixed between red and purple, but pink is really a tint of red (red with white added to it).
So Jao and Sky were essentially the same color.
Which is different from Kiseki: Dear to Me's Eddie x Chen Yi who didn't have a specific color assigned to them, but just simply matched colors.
Honestly, I like when couples match colors, clothing, accessories, y todo. It's very Midwestern-family vacation vibes.
Like nothing says "we are a couple" more than matching colors, matching dog tags, and matching body pillows, you know?
As an aside: Color coding makes me really reflect on the story and what it is trying to say. For instance, I, a bisexual, am very against bi-colored characters because I want them to pick one color, but isn't the whole point of a bi-colored character is that they don't have to pick just one color? Same with same-color couples. I'm watching a queer love story and demanding different colors from each person, yet doesn't the same color reinforce the homo part of the story?
Things to think about.
