The Spectrum of Shifting Color Palettes; Or Why Toei Seto Kaiba's Hair is Green

I had an eureka moment from staring at color wheels a while back, and it turns out Toei Seto and Yugi's color palettes are opposite, also known as complementary colors of each other. There's awareness of Seto's white-with-gold-trim uniform vs Domino High's standard blue uniform-with-black shading. But this contrast also applies to the hair and eyes.

Seto's neon green hair is meant to compare and contrast Yugi's purple magenta streaks.

In the anime, Yugi's eyes swap around the silver or purple zone, while Yami's eyes are more red or magenta to match his more brightly colored hair streaks.

That's why Seto's eyes swap between gold and orange.

These array of colors the animators swap around, can suggest that due to lack of commitment and consistency on eye colors. Staff members may have used their judgement viewing the color palettes as analogous, meaning 2 or more colors next to each other are used.

It also happens that the Toei anime and 2016 edition are biased to certain colors which reflect on differences in Seto's hair color.

The anime shows favor to the color green:

While in the 2016 official colored release of the manga, there seems to add a lot of brown tones to Takahashi's designs:

What's even more intriguing is, starting from chapter 41, the chapter focused on the affection compatibility device. The Yugis' are given classic purple-magenta gradient eyes, in the previous chapter Yami mind crushed Seto. This made it a reverse of the Toei anime, where Yugi and Yami changed eye colors in the manga, after Yami inflicted mind crush.

Grandpa Mutou still gets to keep his brown eyes, a reminder of those days.

To wrap this post up with a conclusion, it's apparent that staff behind the 2016 edition, and Toei staff have their own artistic visions that diverge from what fans of the series are familiar with. It's not necessarily about right or wrong but more about human behavior. These differences in interpretation are natural with so many variants of Takahashi's work.

Edited: 12/30/2024, corrected the claim that the Shueisha 2016 color edition was done solely by Kazuki Takahashi.

this is a test post.

Update: the test is over. it was to see if editing ALT text into an image in the original post would automatically update the ALT text for reblogs.

the answer is no.

[ID: A photo of a river at night, with marsh grass on either side. The water is completely still and smooth, pefectly reflecting the sky above and the orange sunset on the horizon, so that the horizon is a deep orange, fading to yellow, then white, then slate grey in a smooth gradient in both the water and sky. Pelicans are visible as small black sillowets, perched on wooden poles on the right midground. End ID.]

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

Every time I look at my canning-specific ladle, I get a little overwhelmed about how much thought went into it, and how beautiful it is for such a simple thing.

It has a little hook on the back, so you can hang it off the edge of the pot, and it doesn't get your stove messy or your ladle contaminated with stovetop germs.

It has a pointy front that gets right into the bottom corner of the pot so you can scrape out the last bits of salsa or jam.

It's got pouring spouts on either side, so left or right handed people can easily use it.

If you fill it right to the top, it holds exactly enough to fill a half-pint jar with 1/4" head space, the correct amount of head space for most water bath recipes.

It's pretty! It's red and white! Look at this pretty red scoop with its pretty white handle!

The person or people who designed this object did so with deep knowledge and understanding of the process of canning food. They made it beautiful and functional. This and its matching funnel are probably literally the best $25 I've ever spent on any hobby.

But I'm really just overwhelmed about how much thought went into this simple object.

Aren't people neat?

I have a question about this image of Xanathar's Thieves Guild.

Why does he have sexily lounging elf boys?

I ask because I cannot imagine a beholder being attracted to anything other than itself. Does he just understand Sexily Lounging Elf Boys to be a status symbol, and he wants anyone who visits to know he can afford Sexily Lounging Elf Boys?

Maybe I'm the asshole here for assuming. Maybe these boyfriends are master tacticians here to advise Xanathar, they happen to like wearing leather pants and no shirts and I should be less quick to reduce them to sex objects.

I don't care, I love it, this is all I can think of every time I see it:

Underrated genre of spiderverse fanart

[ I.D. a simple digital drawing of characters from across the spiderverse. Miles, Gwen, Pavitr and Hobie are all in a cutesy chibi style running in a line happily and all saying "yippie!" at the end of this line is a more proportionate Miguel standing and facing away from the viewer with clenched fists, a shiny bubble butt and dramatic shadow lines saying "man." which is in all caps underlined and in a bold font. end I.D ]
