Domino Orange

HEX:
#D8560E

RGB:
216/86/14

Description:

"Domino" is the Japanese-rendered name for "Sami," a character from the "Advance Wars" series of strategy video games. Sami is one of the coolest gaming heroines I think I've ever played as, with my favorite character designs coming from the sequel: "Advance Wars: Black Hole Rising." This shade of orange mimics the color of Sami's hair.

Minter

HEX:
#7ADFC6

RGB:
122/223/197

Description:

Mint + winter = "minter."

Karaoke Pink

HEX:
#CC2779

RGB:
204/39/121

Description:

I'll admit that I've been to a few karaoke joints in the U.S. and abroad. They're everywhere in Asia that it's practically a sport, or at least a major hobby for many. Some families I met had their own karaoke machines, and I remember a couple of them being this dark pink or violet color. Some of the karaoke rooms I visited were decorated and lit with some pretty cool red, pink, and violet hues. Anyways, here's my attempt at emulating what I feel should be the official color of karaoke!

Yéliel

HEX:
#F7ED4E

RGB:
247/237/78

Description:

A softer yellow than "Hive Yellow," which borrows the name of a pop-ballad song I heard covered by a Cantonese singer.

Livid Mint

HEX:
#263C36

RGB:
38/60/54

Description:

I failed to come up with a variant of "dark mint" that I was satisfied with, so I created something that added a lot of grey. I think this color could also be called: "dark chocolate mint creme."

Loveless

HEX:
#D34667

RGB:
211/70/103

Description:

Two things came to mind when coming up with this title: the infamous theatre play advertised in "Final Fantasy VII," and the manga of the same name. I meant for this color to emulate the manga's volume 1 cover designs, which uses a really nice array of subtly-faded pink and red hues.

Blue Burst

HEX:
#00327C

RGB:
0/50/124

Description:

I was remembering a PC role-playing game called: "Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst" when the title came to me. After image-searching "blue burst," I found a couple more items that utilized this name, one of which was a guitar. It was colored with all kinds of crazy blueish-green hues, but I tried to closely resemble what the guitar face looked like.

Crown of Thorns

HEX:
#979700

RGB:
151/151/0

Description:

My attempt at creating an organic shade of olive green. I was pleased with the imagery that this conjured up, so I went with it.

Midoran Rose

HEX:
#53004E

RGB:
83/0/78

Description:

In my screenplay, the alien planet of "Midora" possesses a type of rose that acts as the antidote to a certain virus. This hue represents their empire's official symbol, but more specifically, it's the color that the planet reflects when seen from afar.

Serpentine

HEX:
#003328

RGB:
0/51/40

Description:

A serpent-like shade of dark sea green.

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.

Märchen Teal 100%

HEX:
#009D98

RGB:
0/157/152

Description:

There's a really fun video game genre called the "cute 'em up," which is a sub-genre of the "shoot 'em up." One particular Japanese import cute 'em up I like is: "Märchen Adventure Cotton 100%." The title screen uses various teal hues primarily, so that's where this color came from.

Blush Red

HEX:
#FA9D80

RGB:
250/157/128

Description:

This is for my friend "Eri," who's cheeks always appear to be radiating even when she's not embarrassed or wearing make up.
