[discussion] the great kpop "crayon box" wars (shade gate)

it’s so funny to look back at how protective groups were over their specific shade of balloon. like if a rookie group debuted with a colour that was even slightly close to a senior group, the fancafes would literally go into war mode.

i was reading up on the "pearl" era and it’s so specific. like you couldn’t just have "green" you had to have pearl aqua (shinee) or pearl light green (ss501). or how shinhwa fans (shinhwa changjo) were the absolute gatekeepers of orange to the point where they had beef with ikonic years later, lol.

and don’t even get me started on the "red" situation between tvxq and.......... basically everyone else. the commitment to defending a hex code was honestly kind of scary back then.

so my question for you guys: if you were a 2nd gen idol/manager, what would your "unique" colour name be to avoid a fandom war? like what specific word would you add to a colour to make it yours (e.g. "metallic" or "pastel" or "baby")? let me know~

i'm going to write a more detailed response later i promise, but my first thought was... what if someone defined the fandom color with a color that can't be seen with human eyes LOLZ, like a color only a mantis shrimp could see. HYPERBOLIC ORANGE.

............... or, alternatively, bring out the crayon box, as u say. PHTHALO BLUE. PERIWINKLE. RAZZLE DAZZLE (real talk why has no on taken advantage of razzle dazzle.). or u could take out the crayons with the little glitter flecks in it. that has a different name. pinky promise. EEP. 

OR A GRADIENT!!!!!!!!! CLAIM A WHOLE GRADIENT. CHANGE COLORS EVERY SO OFTEN. KEEP PEOPLE ON THEIR TOES. 

OR FOOD!!!!!!!!! CHOCOLATE PEPERO BROWN.

idk i'm just spitballing now i need to go to bed lolz
