Thanks : D.

Hey, while we're on the subject of colors, is there a reason that ... well ok, let's go in order.

D1 (HOD+AOD) http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/File:Disgaea_Logo.jpg - where did purple-over-midnightblue come from? The logo has 'reddish over blue-ish', Laharl has blueish hair and a red scarf... while somehow purple-over-blue feels very Disgaea (and I'm not trying to change these colors for D1), I don't really understand the 'why'. On the one hand, sure, not every game's colors have to be dropped from the image... except 2, 3, 4 are... so it's really "all the 1s" that ... aren't? or are they? D1-2 AOD - http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/File:Disgaea_PSP_Logo.jpg D DS - http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/File:Disgaea_DS_Logo.png

D2 - http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/File:Disgaea_2_Logo.jpg - green and orange dropped from 'behind the 2' and 'the 2' respectively. D3 - http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/File:Disgaea_3_Logo.png - light blue over red, the LB is from the 'Disgaea' and the red is from the '3'. D4 - http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/File:Disgaea_4_Logo.jpg - navy over brick-ish red... I guess the 'navy' is from his coat/wing and the red is from 'the Disgaea in general'?

DD2 - http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/File:Disgaea_D2_JP_Logo.jpg - so take Disgaea D2. I'm still not totally caught up with all the in-series logic on why D2 gets 'separate lists', how much is it "like D1" (in the sense that AOD&DS are "reformatted HOD", ie all the mob stats appear to be the same? I mean, I haven't checked or anything...) and to what extent is it its totally-own thing? Why does http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/Priest_%28Disgaea_D2%29 for example have "800080 (D1's purple) over cc0011 (D3's red)"?

To what extent does(/should) each game have its own colors, that are clearly distinct from other games? (it took me a bit to realize that D4 is just "darker D3", so at this point I'm just really hoping D5 is like, way different X DD) To what extent should DD2 be distinct from D1? DD2 is listed as a 'spin-off' but has lists and mob stats and other things like it's a 'main game' ('main-er' than the remakes)... so it's kind of in an odd position. But, ought'n it have its own color scheme? I mean, if it has its own mobs, etc.... I wrote the D-block assuming that DD2 did/was going to have its own stuff, and I don't think we've really done much that would need going back and redoing... it would mostly just be shifting D-Block stuff around just a smidge.

so yeah, Question 1, does DDS need its own colors, and Question 2, what would they be? I'm not really a fan of whats going on on the, for example, Priest page there... purple-over-red looks too 'series/generic'...

I mean... red&purple is too much what this site uses for 'series as a whole'... black&red is too 'prinny'... orange and ...purple...y... would definitely stand out and be "DD2 is its own thing...."

bleh. I typed all this up, now I'm not sure what I think. Imma post and let this sit and percolate for a while. Besides, I need to finish the last T2Cing on D2 and do a bunch of irl crap too.
