Moonbrooke


HEX:
#D494EF

RGB:
212/148/239

Description:
One of my online buddies really likes the character "Princess Moonbrooke," from the role-playing video game: "Dragon Quest II." The shade of purple I'm using is meant to somewhat emulate her hair color, which is actually a bit deeper of a violet than this.

Trident Green


HEX:
#09C266

RGB:
9/194/102

Description:
I always associated a "trident" with the colors green or sea green, and that's probably from being influenced by The Little Mermaid, where the king wields a trident under the sea!

Blank


HEX:
#80533A

RGB:
128/83/58

Description:
Named after a minor character from "Final Fantasy IX," a PlayStation role-playing game that released right after I graduated from high school. "Blank" was probably my fourth-favorite character, behind Beatrix, Kuja, and Steiner.

Pink Swan


HEX:
#F4C6C8

RGB:
244/198/200

Description:
It wasn't until the arcade fighting game "Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom" released that I discovered one of the greatest animation characters of all time: "Jun the Swan." Her weapon of choice is the yo-yo, which is pretty much all you need to know to become a believer. For this shade of pink I kinda cheated and used Photoshop to pinpoint and emulate the exact color for Jun's wardrobe in the fighting game. The result looks somewhat like pink Silly Putty.

NuBeth


HEX:
#1B23C7

RGB:
27/35/199


Description:

I'm using the word "NuBeth" for a location in my screenplay, which may or may not end up being the pseudonym for "earth." I haven't gotten that far, yet. I also don't really have any thoughtful explanation for the deep blue hue other than I think it fits the name well.

Galatea


HEX:
#618470

RGB:
97/132/112

Description:
My favorite character from the "Claymore" manga series is definitely "Galatea," who's outfit uses the same general color in the animated adaptation. I tend to shy away from forest green and emerald hues when creating new colors, since those are my least-favorite, but this is probably far enough removed from that end of the color-spectrum to not have to worry. XD

Arcana Heart Pink


HEX:
#F14280


RGB:
241/66/128


Description:

This color makes reference to the arcade fighting game: "Arcana Hearts," which utilizes a lot of really awesome magenta and cerise hues. The closest official color match is "cerise pink."

Apple Seed


HEX:
#BEDB4A

RGB:
190/214/74

Description:
A mix of green apple and the light amber hue of an apple seed. I did my best to make this look delicious enough to eat.
