Palettlas Discussion - Tumblr Posts
First discussion of the blog: WHO is the color Cyan?
In my project about "humanized" colors, color symbolism plays a HUGE role in how I write certain colors' personalities.
And because I am heavily biased, I've separated "Blue" into different hues: Cyan, Azure, Blue, and Indigo.
In the future I'd love to do a separate post on "Azure", but I'd love to get a general consensus on what specifically "Cyan" is to as many people as possible.
Or more specifically: Who? Who would "Cyan" be as a person?
Earlier in the year I made this poll, which generally agreed that Cyan is an Extrovert, in comparison to Blue being an Introvert:
I feel like there's generally some consensus that Cyan is more "energetic" than Blue; I've described it that Cyan is jumping directly into a frozen lake, and Blue is slowly freezing after being outside in the snow for too long, but both of them are "cold" feelings.
One thing I've also recognized, Cyan feels like it's most used in "youthful" marketing?
I've noticed specifically the most "Cyan" characters of all time (aka, characters who represent Cyan because they have another character in the cast that represents normal Blue), are both quite "cute" or perhaps even "childish" characters; specifically, Hatsune Miku and Cinnamoroll
I would love to have a discussion on "Who" the color Cyan is, to get a reference on what its color symbolism is.
I struggle with trying to pinpoint Cyan's ""personality"" without comparing it directly to other colors, especially in comparison to Blue.
Who is Cyan by themself? Who is Cyan in comparison to Blue in particular? What kind of personality would you associate with a character that's SPECIFICALLY Cyan-colored?
I would very much appreciate as much elaboration as possible!
