Look: I was responding to a post claiming the colors were about the color spectrum. But on the site NGE is black, Jo is magenta, Ha is orange, Q is cyan, and Final is white. If Ha had been green or yellow it would have all fit together nicely, but since it's orange the pattern is thrown off. Black is no color, magenta and cyan are primary colors, white is all colors. Orange is not a primary color so it doesn't fit. That's all I was saying.

tl;dr: it's not about the color spectrum, the colors mean something else.

You are ignoring the 14 year gap between 2.22 and 3.33.

What does that have to do with whether or not the DVD box cover colors represent the color spectrum? It's not related at all.

Of course it is related, if they go by that logic. You dismiss that correlation for no reason. I already said that it fits the timeline. You say it doesn't without any argument.

The idea that the gap in the spectrum between Ha and Q (no green or yellow) corresponds with the timeskip. However, as the last film is being characterised as white rather than blue or violet, this theory (that the colours follow a spectral order) is already broken.

Ah, I see. That's an odd stance to take, but at least I understand the reasoning now.

I would call it "already broken" yet. We haven't seen a single frame of the movie. Who knows what's going to happen?

Since we have Final's color now I think it's safe to say it's dead in the water.

That was a year ago, and you brought it up out of nowhere in response to a post about primary colors. It's not really related.

I brought it up out of nowhere? It was part of the discussion and I replied to your "primary colors" argument, because it didn't make sense in your "rule" that you came up with (that they have to be primary colors)... which seems that you didn't even consider, that your assumption might be wrong. I explained that multiple times in this thread and you ignored that. Not a single response. You didn't even bother to ask when you didn't understand that.

I asked three times on this page alone, dude. And yeah, I forgot about the spectrum theory, but since we know Final's white it seems to be dead now. I don't see the point of arguing about it in light of that.

Edit: actually, let me revise this. Since I'd forgotten about the color spectrum theory my earlier comments re: primary colors don't even make sense, which means I'm the one who derailed the thread, just as you said. So, sorry about that. I wasn't trying to ignore you or blow you off, I just didn't understand the context you were speaking from until Paul clarified it above. Sorry about the hostility, real or perceived.

Useless observations
- It would've been cool to have cyan,magenta,yellow represent Q, Jo, Ha
- But cyan+magenta+yellow = black, not white (subtractive model -- e.g. printer ink)
- In the additive model on the other hand, red+green+blue = white (LED lights)
- Red, green, blue are on the color spectrum but magenta isn't -- it's a primary color in the subtractive color model.

And orange is a perfectly good spectral colour even if it's not a primary colour in the three-colour models.

That's a really good point. I was thinking Ha should have been yellow, but as you note that would result in black, not white. Maybe the idea was to break NGE into its primary colors, then color shift them and remix them to get Final! :lol: But of course orange isn't primary for either model so that's right out anyway.

Also worth noting that the additive colors of each group are the secondary colors of the other. So green and red make yellow, red and blue make magenta, and blue and green make cyan. Similarly, yellow and magenta make red, magenta and cyan make blue, and cyan and yellow make green. So it's all on the spectrum, but it's just a question of where you're setting your markers for your primary colors.

Well of course. I'm not sure there's any meaning to it anyway.

I always thought the orange color was a representation of the mysterious Pattern Orange from the franchise. Not that it would have any inherent greater significance if that was the reasoning behind the color choice.

Well I am gonna put a no to this answer, if that is true, and I have no reason to say it's not, that explains the reason why it was never officially called 4.0.

Edit- I don't watch Japanese movies so, no.

From the wikipedia

There are several unlucky numbers in Japanese. Traditionally, 4 and 9 are unlucky. Four is sometimes pronounced shi, which is also the word for death.[4] Nine is also sometimes pronounced ku, which can mean suffering. 13 is also occasionally thought of as unlucky, although this is imported from Western culture. Because of these unlucky numbers, sometimes levels or rooms with 4 or 9 don't exist in hospitals or hotels, and particularly in the maternity section of a hospital, the room number 43 is avoided because it can literally mean "still birth". Therefore, when giving gifts such as sets of plates, they are normally sets of three or five, never four.[2]


Another proof that people overanalyze things

It's generally just avoided, period.
