Etrigan

HEX:
#2ADE00

RGB:
42/222/0

Description:

Created for an IRC acquaintance who works for Mibbit. For some reason, the name "Etrigan" gave me a "mutagen" vibe, so I made sure that the shade of green looked like ooze. Nobody knows if his user-name is a reference to "Etrian Odyssey," but he seems to enjoy reminding everyone how they're spelled so similarly. =P

Southern Cross

HEX:
#332110

RGB:
51/33/16

Description:

A little brown, a little grey, and a lot of black to recreate the look and feel of a dilapidated metropolis, which serves as the main setting for my screenplay.

Vitamin Y

HEX:
#E7DC24

RGB:
231/220/36

Description:

I was attempting to create the look of a tasty yellow vitamin. By adding some grey in, it looks a bit more mineral-enriched.

Arctic Mist

HEX:
#DBEAF5

RGB:
219/234/245

Description:

It's been awhile since I created a color title that actually sounds like a decent name for a Crayola crayon. So, here's "Arctic Mist," which I created in like five minutes, but only because I'm more adept at using Photoshop now to pinpoint and emulate colors in images I bring up.

Halcyon Green

HEX:
#5FBF45

RGB:
95/191/69

Description:

This shade of green emulates the hair color of the character "Yotsuba" from the "Yotsuba&" manga series. I got the name from an online acquaintance who calls himself "halycon," (which I suppose was meant as an alternative rendering) since he sported a "Yotsuba&" avatar for awhile.

Rook

HEX:
#35343D

RGB:
53/52/61

Description:

This is an ashen hue that has some blue mixed in. It's the color for the robe of "Rook," another character whom I've yet to frame as antagonist or protagonist. Going by this shade of grey, it's obvious he's a mysterious fellow with a dark history.

Valitan

HEX:
#32034D

RGB:
34/0/68

Description:

Valitan is the benevolent sky captain of "The Midnight Ark," a spaceship from my screenplay that I did a color for earlier. I wanted to create for him a dark and mysterious shade of purple that would suit his crestfallen personality, as well as his wardrobe.

Northerly Star

HEX:
#CCDCFF

RGB:
204/220/255

Description:
A soft, cool, blue hue that I thought looked rather northerly.

Shield Blue

HEX:
#1F5C90

RGB:
31/92/144

Description:

To be honest, I have no idea where I came up with this entry... I guess I was thinking a little grey and medium blue would give it the appearance of a shield made of steel.

Dawn Pink

HEX:
#fAA9B3

RGB:
250/169/179

Description:

I'm hoping this color conjures up the image of a morning sky imbued with pink hues. However, Pokemon fans will recognize this as the color used for "Dawn" (aka. "Hikari") from the DS game: "Pokemon Diamond & Pearl," which is pretty much my favorite game of all time.

Dryad

HEX:
#749E33

RGB:
116/158/51

Description:

A "Dryad" is a tree nymph in Greek mythology usually depicted using a mix of greens and/or browns. Here, I simply faded the green a bit and added some yellowish-brown to appear more organic and fern-like.

Julian

HEX:
#F18D50

RGB:
241/141/80

Description:

The first name for my screenplay's main antagonist, "Julian Salk." This color combines orange and peach, mostly.

Kale Green

HEX:
#4F9956

RGB:
79/153/86

Description:

Kale is a type of cabbage that exists in a variety of shapes and colors, so I chose the "curly kale" to use as my reference for this green hue. There are also purple kale, so I may create a color for that later on.

Bitches Blue

HEX:
#104EEC

RGB:
16/78/236

Description:

I couldn't wait to create a controversial color, so without further ado: "Bitches Blue." This is actually the title for an album I once heard, but I don't recommend running an internet search on it. =P

Etrian Green

HEX:
#01A088

RGB:
1/160/136

Description:

Created after playing "Etrian Odyssey" for the DS, which has your character traversing through a lush labyrinth in the first-person. The game utilizes a nice variety of teal hues, so I kind of just spliced them together here.

Royal Peach

HEX:
#F5A3C6

RGB:
245/163/198

Description:

This color was tagged as "Royal Pink" for awhile, before I ended up naming it more closely after its subject: "Princess Peach" from the Super Mario series. This color resembles what her dress looks like in most of the games she's in.

Tarta

HEX:
#4C0C09

RGB:
76/12/9

Description:

The name combines "tart" and my friend's name "Tara," whom I told I would create a color for. Hopefully she approves. And if she doesn't, she'll be quick to let me know by demonstrating some of her signature tartness! ;)

Salk

HEX:
#E68458

RGB:
230/132/88

Description:

The name comes from another antagonist in my screenplay; a middle-aged aristocratic-type who speaks rather philosophically about the world that he feels is beneath him. I'm not really sure why or how I visualized this color for this character, but while he's a dark person on the inside, Salk is optimistically-evil on the outside.

Blue Blood

HEX:
#5B42D6

RGB:
91/66/214

Description:

"Blue Blood" is an expression indicating nobility or noble decent. Taking additional inspiration from X-Japan's album of the same name, I created a color that's fairly eclectic, but also regal.

Black Gold

HEX:
#271500

RGB:
39/21/0

Description:

Inspired by my very favorite coffee brand of the same name. Made by Longbottom Coffee and Tea, the beans are nearly black, and there's virtually zero bitterness to the flavor no matter how bold it's brewed.

Nadine

HEX:
#0E1151

RGB:
14/17/81

Description:

A thoughtful and deep blue hue that fits an equally thoughtful and deep individual.

Jiggy

HEX:
#EF6DB0

RGB:
239/109/176

Description:

A pink hue that sums up the personality of an online acquaintance of mine, who calls himself "Jiggy." He was kind of surprised at how bold it turned out, considering he fashions himself as timid and innocent. Still, I think a strong pink suits his enigmatic e-persona rather well!

Dominion

HEX:
#555961

RGB:
85/89/97

Description:

Yet another shade combining traces of blue and grey that I picked out after glancing over Old Dominion University's Wikipedia page.

Oregon Summer Green

HEX:
#2AA100

RGB:
42/161/0

Description:

Oregon is a very green region where I live, just west of the Cascade mountains. Here, I simply tried to find a happy medium between all the various shades of green Oregonians can see on a regular basis in the summer.

Rufus Red

HEX:
#B00E01

RGB:
176/14/1

Description:

Rufus is one of several antagonists from the PlayStation game "Final Fantasy VII," and probably my favorite. I considered naming the color after the company he runs called: "ShinRa," but I felt it was a little too well-known.

Chiara Blue

HEX:
#30C4B1

RGB:
48/196/177

Description:

Created for my friend Chiara, whom everyone just calls "Ki." Her favorite color is similar to turquoise, so I wanted to come up with something fairly close.

Rosières

HEX:
#C44E4E

RGB:
196/78/78

Description:

I combined rose and sepia to make this color. Several towns around France exist with the same name.

Royal Orange

HEX:
#F1610A

RGB:
241/97/10

Description:

I'm kind of a big fan of Princess Daisy from the Super Mario series. Princess Peach is cool, but Daisy has unanimously been my favorite Nintendo princess since Mario Kart DS.

April Shower

HEX:
#71F8C4

RGB:
113/248/196

Description:

"Aqua marine" is the nearest color to this one. I'm almost certain my dad would've preferred I created this color for him. XD

Didymus

HEX:
#B2633D

RGB:
178/99/61

Description:

"Didymus" is a pseudonym given to "Thomas the Apostle" of the Bible, whom my dad was named after. In coming up with brown as the color that best represented my dad, I remembered that he's been working in the lumber industry for most of his adult life.
