At least in your personal opinion, I doubt there will be an actual scientific answer to this. Just a general question that I might be able to make use of later for something, here's my 2cp:
Lawful Good: Blue
Neutral Good: Gold
Chaotic Good: ?
Lawful Neutral: Gray/White
True Neutral: White/Gray
Chaotic Neutral: Green
Lawful Evil: Red
Neutral Evil: Black
Chaotic Evil: ?
I like topics like this.
It reminds me that I'm not entirely alone in that I strongly associate, say, numbers, with very specific colors.
Well, maybe I am, but, you know, people have things they associate. Sometimes. With stuff. YOU DON'T KNOW.
ANYway...
Lawful: Cool
Chaotic: Warm
Good: Light
Evil: Dark
ALT:
Lawful Good: Gold and Blue [alt: Silver or Green...?]
Neutral Good: White and Blue [alt: Green or Soft Gold...?]
Chaotic Good: Red and Orange [alt: Fire or Copper]
Lawful Neutral: Dark Gray or Steel Gray
Neutral: Brown or Gray
Chaotic Neutral: Brown-Gray... or something, I don't have a great single color, but it's not a "prismatic" effect either...
Lawful Evil: Dark Purple
Neutral Evil: Grayish Black
Chaotic Evil: Dark Red

Tasting the Rainbow
I was pretty "meh" about my CN choice TBH, glad I'm not the only one.
I do see Red as a good "Fiery" color for free spirits and that sort of jazz. Surprised I forgot about purple though, always associated with regality, so I'd be inclined to think Lawful as well.

There's Truecolor Dye.
According to that, good is gold, neutral is orange, and evil is bloodred. Law/chaos isn't clear, and I'm not entirely sure about neutral since it's just the actual color rather than a magical effect.
I was hoping that the Dragons would have some color coding because of their coloring but no such luck. It would have been interesting to find say a Neutral Dragon, but they all seem to fall into the Star Wars system of good and evil. (more or less)

WELP. Close enough.
Gotta wonder why everything is a warm color though.

Anti-neutral is an arbitrary bronze apparently. Whatever anti-neutral is...
What turns a man anti-neutral?

Wait, I always thought anti-neutral was just, you know, any of the other ones? This one's making my brain hurt.

I believe anti-neutral would be LG, CG, LE, or CE.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
LG: White
NG: Indigo
CG: Purple
LN: Blue
N: Green
CN: Yellow
LE: Orange
NE: Red
CE: Black
I believe anti-neutral would be LG, CG, LE, or CE.
No, anti-neutral can't be any of those because LG is the foe of CE and LE is CG! Why would they hate the middle man?
You know what, probably best not to think too hard about this one. Anti-neutral is bronze though. Just like those good aligned dragons.
Edit: Tbh I think all those anti-neutral spells look like they were written by Zap.

On second thought, a better question; Why does it take an 8th level spell to finally have some anti-neutral effects? while protection from good/evil is available at 1st level? there's only one more N alignment than not, I'd be happy with it just working on those un-smite-able* jerkwads that get to just cruise scot free for so many levels between good and evil.
*not a word, sure, and yes, I'm not entirely sure there isn't a smite law in the game already, I do know the Hellknight gets smite chaos though. No idea where smite law is though.

Sovereign Imperial Dragons (Bestiary 3) are Neutral. They are gold with red hair.

Sounds like Synesthesia.I have it too, makes everything colourful and really helps me to remember lists, facts etc.
As for the original topic, I'd go
LG: White (shining)
NG: Gold
CG: Yellow
LN: Light Grey
N: Slightly Darker Grey or Green
CN: White (as in free from colour)
LE:Red
NE: Purple
CE: Black/dark purple
I think the best way to do it is try to apply a pattern to it. I'd probably favor something like this, using the primary colors of red, blue, and yellow, the secondary colors of green, purple, and orange, and the ubiquitous white, black, and gray.
LG: White
NG: Blue
CG: Yellow
LN: Gray
TN: Green
CN: Orange
LE: Black
NE: Purple
CE: Red
It's not 100% perfect as far as patterns go, but close enough.
Green - good
Red - evil
Blue - law
Yellow - chaos
So we get:
LG - turquoise
LE - purple
CG - citrine
CE - orange
N - white
I like that last notion.. a LOT!
Hmmm... Let me envision it...
LG: Light Blue
NG: White
CG: Forest Green
LN: Gold/Yellow
TN: Grey
CN: Burnt Orange
LE: Violet/Purple
NE: Black
CE: Blood Red

They are all pink.
But Neutral Gobbo is green?

Totally idosyncratic, but we always used:
LG - Blue (sapphire)
NG - White (diamond)
CG - Green (emerald)
LN - Yellow (topaz)
N - Gray (smoky quartz)
CN - Orange (jacinth)
LE - Red (ruby)
NE - Black (black sapphire)
CE - Purple (amethyst)
Why N and CE always got the really cheap gemstones is beyond me.

Because they're really cheap alignments. :P

That's... interesting. The only form of synesthesia I'd ever heard of is sound stimulating vision (i.e. "sounds have colors" or, as the article notes, chromesthesia; something I've always wanted but entirely lacked) - I'd never heard of anything else being lumped under that heading (the wikipedia article I'd read was not as up to date as it is now, it seems).
Grapheme-color for sure. That's everywhere and in everything (though I don't always know what color I'm looking at) .
Spacial sequence/number form may also be a thing, though it's not nearly as heavily present as described in the article.
Auditory-tactile is definitely a thing. (Like, for example, the clacking of the keyboard causes the tip of my scalp to feel a little like it's [itching+(rub/scratched)] -
Rarely I've experienced something very akin to mirror-touch synesthesia, but it's inconsistent enough that I'm uncertain.
Lexical-gustatory is something that I've had on rare, specific occasions - it's less single words, and more "phrases in certain contexts with emotions" and it's really weird when it does happen.
Well... I've certainly learned something today about myself. Wow. Suddenly so many weird things make sense.
Thank you very much!
EDIT: I really wish I could favorite that post more than once.

I'm gonna throw my hat in with themanfromsaturn and Ashiel's posts (and yes, some color theory from M:tG)
White = Good
Blue = Law
Black = Evil
Red = Chaos
Green = Neutral (between law and chaos)
Gray = Neutral (between good and evil)
and personally I'd go with a pattern made of a mix of the two colors
LG= White and Blue
__NG= White and Green
____CG= White and Red
LN= Gray and Blue
__NN= Gray and Green
____CN= Gray and Red
LE= Black and Blue
__NE= Black and Green
____CE= Black and Red
Red - CE
Orange - CN
Yellow - CG
Green - N
Blue - LG
Indigo - LN
Violet - LE
White - NG
Black - NE

Then you throw everything in the wash with bleech and everything becomes shades of Lawful Good :D

From the pen of Gary Gygax (in his Gord the Rogue novels):
LG - White
NG - Blue
CG - Gold
LN - Gray?
N - Green
CN - Brown?
LE - Red
NE - Purple
CE - Black

Wee need to make statistic about these :D
Lawful Good: Yellow (Gold) - Gold Dragon and Positive Energy
Neutral Good: Blue - Nobility Color
Chaotic Good: Green - Wild Goodness
Lawful Neutral: White - Laws
True Neutral: Gray - Careless
Chaotic Neutral: Orange - Freedom
Lawfull Evil: Black - Manichaeism
Neutral Evil: Purple - Pure Evilness
Chaotic Evil: Red - Blood/Destruction
We really should do this for Classes and Races...

I thought the chaotics were paisley ?
For some reason when I read this title "Purple Haze" by Jimie Hendrix popped into mind.
Plaid, all of them.I thought the chaotics were paisley ?
Plaid, paisley, tie-dye ... alignment is so subjective, you can call almost any action or person any alignment, that it's whatever color you want to see.

I've always seen myself as a gray personally.
To be fair I'm colorblind.
I like to go with a ROYGBIV rainbow, plus black and white. I'd arrange them as follows:
LG - Indigo
NG - White
CG - Blue
LN - Yellow
TN - Green
CN - Orange
LE - Violet
NE - Black
CE - Red
As far as structure,
Primary colors (red, yellow, blue): Lawful alignments
Secondary colors (orange, green, violet): Chaotic alignments
Neutral colors (black, white, gray): Neutral alignments
Neutral colors can be arranged straight light to dark for good to evil.
Blue seems to be generally associated with good, and red with evil.
That leaves green, orange, and purple. Most people seem to like the purple = evil and orange for CN, which leaves green for CG (which see,s appropriate given green-clad CG heroes like Robin Hood).
