50 shades of affliction

Xith

I know. The title is unforgivable.

So I'm wondering if anybody else's brain is like mine and assigns colors to different afflictions/cures?

Mine seems to associate the color of the curative with the affliction.
Bloodroot/paralysis = red, Kelp/asthma = green, confusion/ash = grey

But I also imagine aeon as a yellow, card-shaped haze that expands to people-size and passes through them, so elm pipe is yellow to me too.
And I picture slike/anorexia as yellow, so epidermal salve is too.
Stupidity is yellow for goldenseal, like dizziness.
And even though the moon tarot has a red glow, I always picture it blue for some reason.

And ginseng affs are orange, like carrot vomit. Lobelia has the sissy affs, so it's pink. And voyria/immunity are black.

So who else has affliction synesthesia?

Mizik

Bloodroot: red

Kelp/Fitness/Tree: lime green

Goldenseal: blue

Ginseng: brown

Leg salves: purple

Arm salves: pink

Body/Torso salves: white on blue background

Impale: Yellow

Slashes: Yellow on Orange

Impale Slash/Twist/Slit/Discern on fatal bleed: white on red background!

@ echoes!

Vaehl

Hmm. I have no coloured afflictions or coloured eats or anything. So I'll do arrows. My arrow colourings-

Green - Curare

Grey - Loki

Red/Black - Delphinium/Voyria depending on mood

If I used aconite it'd be yellow.

Prefarar sometimes green too.

Ryukishi

My afflictions show up approximately like this:

Mending

Caloric

Epidermal

Restoration

Ash

Bayberry

Bellwort

Bloodroot

Elm

Ginseng

Goldenseal

Hawthorn

Kelp

Lobelia

Valerian

Sleep

Writhe

Garao

I don't use coloured echoes for any of my curing or opponent alerts... for arrows I use:

Red = Curare

Orange = Prefarar

Black = Delphinium

Green = Loki

Xith

I don't use colored echoes either for the most part. I was actually referring to my mental association with them. All in the imagination box.
But when I do color afflictions and stuff it'd be with the color I associate with it.

And on the CWHO highlighting package I made (on mudlet forum), I shaded the background of each class based on my association. Runelore is always blue to me, for example, so Shamans and Runewardens show up blue.

My arrows:
Colour              Venom               Quantity
------              -----               --------
Undyed              None                32
Red                 Curare              46
Blue                Prefarar            25
Green               Kalmia              50
Black               Delphinium          17
Orange              Gecko               10
Gold                Slike               45
Silver              Aconite             30

Prefarar is green in my mind, but kalmia is greener.

Sena

I don't associate afflictions or cures with specific colours (though I have colours in mind for herbs and minerals that often differ from the actual descriptions), but I do with classes.

Shamans are a sort of bluish-brown, serpents are grey-ish green, occultists are gold, blademasters and apostates are black, runewardens and druids are green, sentinels are dark green, sylvans and bards are blue, priests are silverish-white, paladins are bluish-white, monks are an earthy brown, magi and infernals are red, alchemists are grey, jesters are yellow.

Xith

Interesting. Most of those were close to mine. Except I had Apostate as red, sylvan as green with the other forestals, priest/paladin as light yellow, monk darker yellow, alchemist dirty brown, and jester and magi purple. And occultist orange. But that's for bg highlighting's sake.
And now that I'm without my entire mudlet and am on a PC using the HTML5 client, my cwho feels naked.

Man, that's just wrong. So completely wrong.

Blue - Delphinium.

Black - Prefarar.

Purple - Aconite.

Orange - Curare.

Green - Loki.

Grey or silver - Kalmia.

White - Epteth or Epseth. (I use those extremely rarely though.)

USING ANYTHING ELSE WILL GET YOU POOR SNIPING RESULTS.

Achilles

White - Delphinium (milk makes me sleepy)

Blue - Prefarar

Red - Curare

I only color salve applications, sleep, paralysis and fitness.  I should add more but I like sleeping more.

Antonius

For arrows:
Delphinium is black, because it puts you to sleep.
Prefarar is green, because it's cured by kelp and everybody knows kelp is green.
Kalmia is blue, because it gives you asthma and not being able to breathe makes you turn blue.
Curare is red, because it's cured by bloodroot and blood is red.

Those aren't even up for debate, if you use anything else you're plain wrong.

Sena

Curare is yellow, because electricity is yellow and paralysis is caused by electric attacks.

Edit: For arrow colours, white, silver, or orange (it can be a really light orange) are acceptable alternatives since there isn't any yellow.

Tvistor

Noobs, curare is red because bloodroot cures it and blood is red. God.

@Sena Can do gold arrows.

I guess I'll have to back mine up with hard science too now!

Delphinium is blue because Blu is blue and boring and boring things put you to sleep.

Prefarar is black because night is black and there are monsters at night that want to hurt you and prefarar hurts.

Aconite is purple because purple is stupid.

Curare is orange because you can use the time your opponent is paralysed to drink a glass of orange juice.

Loki is green because green dragons are green and they afflict with loki.

Kalmia is grey because who cares what colour kalmia has and grey is a who-cares colour.

Epseth and epteth are white because they're cured by salves and salves are often white. Especially if they contain large quantities of snow.

Q.e.d.

Sena

There seem to be some misconceptions.

Cyrene is green, because that's the colour I arbitrarily chose for CT 10 years ago, when I started Achaea in Cyrene. It's true that loki is green, but it's because randomness is green, and trickster gods are green. Green dragons are green because poison/venom is green, and loki just happens to be the best venom. Moving on from green things, prefarar can be black, blue, or purple, because those are traditional bruise colours and bruises=sensitivity.

Edit: Curare can't be gold, because aconite is gold since people do stupid things for gold.

Iocun

Sorry, but no. Gold is vernalius because gold is heavy and carrying heavy stuff makes you tired and weary.

Sena

Nobody uses vernalius arrows though, so there's no conflict, they can both be gold.

Mizik

@Sena my brain is incapable of producing a bluish brown hue.

So is Google images

Tvistor

Aconite is gold because goldenseal cures it. Sorry, Iocun, you are just wrong here.

Vaehl

Its pretty surprising how bad some of you are with arrow colours.

Vaehl

Edit isn't working on my phone

It's*

I can't find any examples either. The closest I found is the darker parts in the circled area here.

Maybe I'm picturing a colour that doesn't actually exist. Maybe it's better to think of it as light brown with lots of blue flecks mixed in, rather than actually combining the colours.

Alyssea

Curare is red

Delphinium is blue

Prefarar is green

Aconite is black

Chryenth

 

I made paralysis red and stupidity blue, I think. I don't really see the rest.

Anyway, I made this up:

 

Curare is red,

Delphinium is too.

I've got a dirk,

So I can lock you.

 

Prefarar is green,

Aconite is black.

Freeze you up with a

goldenseal stack.

 

My venoms are spectral,

A toxic rainbow for you.

Like a week-old corpse,

Which you'll be, soon.

Mishgul

disappointed that this thread is not about the weird and wonderful ways you can use curare or prefarar

Iocun

Oh man, such noobs I'm playing games with. Why do I even try to educate?

Cooper

Goldenseal cures are bright yellow.

Bloodroot cures are red.

Kelp cures are bright green.

Lobelia cures are dark green.

Ash cures are dark gold.

Sleep stuff is blue.

Therefore.

Delph is blue

Aconite is yellow

Curare is red

Prefarar is green

Loki is black (cause it's a mix of everything and you can't do brown)

Tvistor

Yes, Cooper gets it.

Xith

I think I associate runelore with blue because Cyrene is blue due to their random blue ribbon festival thing, and runelore is all Cyrenish and stuff.

Sohl

It's useless to highlight things since there's no point while praying and you will all be praying.
