Blue. It's my favorite color already, so... yeah, it works.
Though, admittedly, the thought of running a campaign with all white colors would be kind of ingenius. Though the other side would then be able to tease them for wearing the colors of surrender. Hmmm...

I thought white and black weren't colors either, but forgot what the term was years back.Monde Luna wrote:My favorite color is purple but it isn't on the list, so I voted blue. Technically I thought white wasn't a color. Isn't white considered to be a contrast?

Depends on what you think of color as. In one sense, white is the combination of all the different colors. In another, yes, it is a contrast, from lighter tints to darker shades of colors. But a contrast can also be a color, since... (now I'm going way on a limb, and feel free to shake me down) one can think of secondary colors as contrasts of varying degrees of primary colors, and such. And there's a contrast between white and black themselves.
And plus, there're crayons. Color is defined by the viewer. And the colorer.

No I'm not going to shake you down. I'm going to agree with you. For some reason this was very interesting to me so I had to find the answer. Black and White are considered to be netural colors (they are part of the netural gray series) according to various websites dealing w/ color wheels.Sonic# wrote:Depends on what you think of color as.

White was defined by Dictionary.com as "The achromatic color of maximum lightness; the color of objects that reflect nearly all light of all visible wavelengths; the complement or antagonist of black, the other extreme of the neutral gray series. Although typically a response to maximum stimulation of the retina, the perception of white appears always to depend on contrast."
And black was defined as "The achromatic color value of minimum lightness or maximum darkness; the color of objects that absorb nearly all light of all visible wavelengths; one extreme of the neutral gray series, the opposite being white. Although strictly a response to zero stimulation of the retina, the perception of black appears to depend on contrast with surrounding color stimuli."
