Out of curiosity, has anyone ever analyzed the color theory in this game? I'm thinking there might be some hints for the full game...

Here’s my personal opinion, it’s more of a color symbolism analysis than color theory tho
spoiler?
I think the color schemes of the pixie team is straightforward, every color represents something associated with the sin (for exemple red that’s associated with anger, purple that was the color reserved for the rulers back in the Roman Empire)Now when it comes to Shyloh (gluttony) yk how black is the absorption of light and in the story he is the villain because « he will absorb everyone’s ehsas » or something like this idk I didn’t play for a long time
For Sev I think their color is white. I mean it ties into their medicinal background. For me, their color is white but more like a blank canvas rather than the traditional associations of white in western culture (purity etc). They haven’t been allowed to develop their personality, and have hobbies other than what their parents want. So they’re kinda a blank canvas
Yes, that’s exactly what I meant, sorry for the mix-up, and thank you for sharing your notes!
I especially loved your take on Shyloh’s black being an “absorption” color. It fits him so well, especially with how he interacts with the Ehsas and all the void references. And it makes so much sense with how black absorbs light across most wavelengths in real life too!
The idea of white as a “blank canvas” is super interesting as well. I was picturing it both in a medical sense and as the MC reflecting all light, like not absorbing anything at all, which really ties into them being the creator.
I’ve also been wondering if this might tie into the upcoming release! That white represents full narrative potential, and depending on the ending, one color “wins”… or maybe Sev stays white the whole time (neutral/good?). So many cool directions this could go!
