Yet another unofficial Pyra case color poll

[comradekingu]

Why havent we gotten undecided about names for the colours?

How about one verb in front, using the letter following the word in the alphabet

Sensing Red
Player Orange
Turn Yellow Zarathustrian Yellow, Zealot Yellow, http://www.yourdictionary.com/zenana
Horse Green
Contested Blue
Unstable Purple Query Purple
Xenophobic White
Coprocessor Black
Hegelian Gray, Helheim gray
Custom Beige

 

[ible]

as far as i can tell, T does not immediately follow Y in the alphabet. nor U P.

 

[levi]

How about Zygotic Yellow and Redundant Purple

 

[rygD]

Xenophobic White

This one seems popular over here lately.

 

[comradekingu]

Depending on actual colour, alternatively
xanthic

xan·thic

1. yellow or yellowish
2. of or having to do with xanthine

I am partial to "Custom beige" myself.

what about see-through red?

 

[Djoga'Ro]

With silver-coating on the inside that would be awesome. Or a very shiny black coating, maybe?

These are the colors I want. GBC sold well in that green.

As well as the transparent GBC?

@comrad Now you're playing find-the-adjectives with us?

Customarily Beige

I have to say this one somehow appeals to me. It carries the implication that the colour is somehow unique to each unit.

That worked when it was 'custom beige' but customary and custom have kind of the opposite meanings, despite I dare say having the same word roots. The latter suggests its by user choice, and therefore quite liable to being unique or at least rare, but the former suggests your neighbours* will have the same colour unit as you, because it basically mean by tradition.

* Neighbours in this case might be people in your street, people in your village, your city, your state, your country your geological plate or your current planet.

You need to reread the original posts. It's "customarily beige" not "customary beige".

-Neelix

 

[comradekingu]

For some reason those both mean the same, the former possibly "customer"-like too, but that is a stretch

The latter, can also be written "custumal".

Which begs the question, what is the "made custom/special" adverb Customizingly, customatedly, unique, I don't know.

Customized?

"Custom beige" has me sold.

True, that was lazy of me. However, I'm under the opinion that one of those words is derived from the other. One is an adjective and the other is an adverb I think, but I'll leave it to you as to which is which. On the other hand, 'custom' and words like 'customize' have pretty much the opposite meaning, as I was trying to say.

 

[rygD]

Oh, for fuck's sake. Do I REALLY need to clear this up?

From now on, all beige shall be known as cocksucker's beige. You're welcome.

Thinking of international shipments, which colour name will clear customs the easiest ;op ?

Sure they both have the same derivation but they still carry opposite implications in this context.

One implies "This unit is the customary beige"
the other implies "These units are customarily beige, but this one is special"
