#i'm personally a big fan of yellow and gold so from a personal aesthetic preference i love winn's costuming

What do you think about Winn's golden Kai robes vs Opaka's robes?

i hadn't even thought about the comparison until you pointed it out and honestly what a great insight. i love the designs of both and the thought that was put into them--where kai opaka is in noble purple yet unadorned and winn is in gold, intricately embroidered, somewhat reminiscent of an elizabeth portrait, and gold. which could mean anything (strength, garishness, reflection, light, wealth, materialism, hope, dawn, destructive fire....)

the gold is important.
