Alicornutopia

Here I will keep the master list of moiety colours with secondaries included. Here also is where authors may discuss and finalize their choices of primary and secondary moiety colours.

The following list is in order of colour selection; there is also a version of the same list available in rainbow order a little farther down this page. The code I use to generate the lists and colour previews lives on GitHub.

This post used to contain the rainbowed version of the moiety list! It no longer does. (See here for the rainbow version.)

Guidelines for choosing moieties:

Please do not use someone else's exact primary as your own primary. Try not to use a primary that's very very close to someone else's primary, but if your target region of colourspace has been thoroughly picked over already then it's okay not to worry about it. Using someone else's secondary as your primary is fine, as is using someone else's primary or secondary as your own secondary, or not choosing a secondary at all. The point of secondaries is to make moiety flags easily distinguishable from each other even when the primaries are close, e.g. ███ Purple/Indigo vs ███ Lotus/Pomegranate. Try to choose colours that look nice next to each other and make your flag stand out next to the other flags near you in colourspace.

Once a colour has been named and included in the list as someone's primary or secondary, please use that name to refer only to that specific colour (e.g. Copper is always #d5732a), to reduce confusion. (You can attach whatever unused colour names to whatever unused hexcodes you like in the course of constructing your moiety flag, regardless of whether they appear in the unused colours list.) You may find this tool useful for choosing/naming colours.

Moiety colour names are always one word long.

i would like my secondary to be slate, #708090

███ Diaeresis: Moss, #006000 (Slate, #708090)

███ PlainDealingVillain: Tan, #BF8040/ Orange, #FF8000
seems good to me.
