Moiety Colour Master List

While colors being usable as identifiers is past, there is still something to be said for, uh, colorfulness.

What do you mean, Unbitwise?

[Unbitwise]

Like, things can have color themes. And that's added aesthetic value, and can also serve a purpose of aiding recognition even if they're not totally unique (e.g. your friend's car is blue and so all the not-blue cars are not the one you're looking for).

There was once an idea to put moiety colors on individual replies in the Constellation and I thought that was great.

I agree that while the value of these colors may be lessening, increasing the prominence of them may aid recognition – "oh this is T* with the red moiety" at least narrows it down to [Throne? maybe Tricky or Timepoof?], or "J* with the purple moiety?" would narrow down to [Jarnvidr?]. While people probably don't have the list memorized, adding more memorable details probably aid recollection.

Also yes, pretty colors are pretty.

I think I wouldn't want to put moiety colours on the constellation until I could figure out a way to make them look acceptable regardless of their surroundings, and there's been some concern about that iirc.

███ Link: Violet, #7F00FF
███ Kappa: Purple, #8040BF (Indigo, #602080)
███ Anya: Lavender, #C080FF (Silver, #A0A0A0)
███ Wizard of Woah!: Wizardly, #800080
███ Guilty: Palatinate, #682860 (Pine, #01796F)
███ atheistcanuck: Plum, #7D0552 (Redwood, #A45A52)
███ Jarnvidr: Tyrian, #4F012E (Ultramarine, #3F00FF)

Wizard would like #800080 (and suggested 'Wizardly' for the name but I'm not sure he was very confident of that). Does this work? It might be a bit close to Palatinate but on the bright side that's what secondaries are for and also it seems distinguishable if you know you're looking for a difference.
