Forum:Blood/text colour differentiations

Forum: Index > Problem Sleuth's Office > Blood/text colour differentiations

OK this came up on my talk page but I feel the discussion might be getting a little large and need additional input. I think we should probably be recording the differences between the blood and text colours (when they exist) to try and avoid confusion between those who know they don't match up and those who do.

I did a quick look over of the high bloods and Aepokk said he would be doing the low bloods but here are my results.

• Terezi's blood colour matches her text colour, using her blood as seen here.
• Vriska's blood colour doesn't match her text colour, using her blood as seen here. Her text is #005682 and her blood is #004182, the difference lying with the green value.
• Equius' blood colour doesn't match his text colour, using his blood as seen here. His text is #000056 and his blood is #0021CB, the difference lying with the green and blue values.
• Gamzee's blood colour doesn't match his text colour, using his blood as seen here. His text is #2B0057 and his blood is #440A7F, the difference lying with all three colour values; red, green and blue.
• Eridan's blood colour matches his text colour, using his blood as seen here.
• Feferi's blood colour doesn't match her text colour, using her blood as seen here. Her text is #77003C and her blood is #99004D, the difference lying with the red and blue values.

Also so you don't need to check my talk page, the Sagittarius and Capricorn symbols were changed to match Equius' and Gamzee's blood colours because the one on their shirt appears to match that colour as opposed to their text colour. With Karkat the situation is of course completely different since his text and symbol colour are purposely a completely different colour to his blood so he really doesn't have a place in this convo. - The Light6 (talk) 05:03, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

I would say it should be covered. The most sensible option I think is to make Hemotyping a subsection in the social aspects section, and this information can then go there -- Sorceror Nobody, 15:39, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry about the lowbloods, I should be able to get to them in an hour. I've had a lot of classes today. Aepokk Venset 20:43, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

First note: Aradia's never actually spilled her own blood (at least, it hasn't been shown. Obviously there was blood after her death). What do I do for that? Eyelash/lip color? Aepokk Venset 22:23, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

• Aradia's blood color matches her blood color, using her eyelashes seen here. (Note this is dubious, as Aradia's blood was never spilled.)
• Tavros's blood color doesn't match his text color, using his blood as seen here. His text is #A25203 and his text is #A15000, the difference lying with the red, green, and blue values.
• Sollux's blood color matches his text color, using his blood as seen here.
• Nepeta's blood color matches her text color, using her blood as seen here.
• Kanaya's blood color doesn't match her text color, using her blood as seen here. Her blood is #078446 and her text is #008141, the difference lying with the red, green, and blue values.

Now I think the next step is to ensure that all of the symbols for those trolls whose blood and text color aren't the same match the blood color (barring Karkat, of course). Aepokk Venset 22:41, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

I would say if the shirt symbol colour matches the text, fine. If it matches the blood, fine. Use it either way for the symbols – symbol colour should match symbol colour, it's the simplest way to keep that particular variety of hemotyping consistent within itself without having to wade into the murky waters of mismatched other varieties of hemotyping.

...unless of course the shirt symbol colours vary, just to screw with us. In which case, go with blood. But stick to the symbols themselves to begin with, and only change tactics if a problem crops up -- Sorceror Nobody, 19:57, September 24, 2012 (UTC)
