Question

White is the absence of color :)

It looks blue when it passes through the air. Put two of those big metal balls next to each other and with enough voltage you'll see electricity jump from one to the other and it looks blue. You know what I'm talking about. I'm too tired to use proper terms.

black, you fuck
white is ALL the colors

In light white is all the colors. In pigment white is the absence of color.

Thunder is auditory. Sound has no color. Fucking Euros man I swear

bro...

nigger, darkness is the absence of light, and Lightning sure isn't black.

>Ice
Snow and ice often result in that bluish tint to the environment in real life.

>Poison as green and purple
Green = herbal? I figure poison could be green, purple, or yellow. Also >Electricity
Lightning is usually thought of as yellow in artwork. Look up lightning clip art and it's yellow. Look up Shazam and his lightning bold is yellow.

White is literally light from all colors of the visible spectrum combined.
unless my newfaggotry is making me miss some kind of insider joke

He’s right, though. When you’re talking about light, white is all the colors together. White is the absence of all color when you’re talking about pigment.

>Fucking Euros
what?

DIO!

Says fan of living doll. Asuka > Rei everytime.

its actually both
in paints and pigments white is the lack of colour
in light its all the colours combined

>Poison is always green or purple

The most common use of electricity was for emitting light and for the longest time the most popular form of lighting was incandescent light bulbs, which emitted yellow light. I assume that's why electricity is associated with the color yellow.

Green stuff is usually stuff you shouldn't eat (unripe fruit and vegetables, moldy food, rotten meat etc) because it will make you sick/poison you so I assume that's why green is associated with poison. Purple I don't know why.

Water is blue and ice is water so the association makes sense. The sky is blue and the sky is associated with the air and winds so the association makes sense.

>Why is electricity always portrayed as yellow or blue in videogames?
Because it IS blue

>darkness is the absence of light
>light is associated with life and creation
>darkness is associated with death and oblivion
>in other words the absence of life

Those colors (green poison, yellow lightning, blue wind) come from the EGA version of Bard's Tale. The true color of both electricity and wind is red, though.
Any other questions?

you guys need to get on the same page on whether you're referring to addition or subtraction

I've seen electricity portrayed as white, blue, yellow and purple, i have also seen wind as green.

I'd rather electricity be whitish blue but that's usually reserved for ice if it's also in the game. I prefer purple to yellow personally but a lot more games use yellow.

Electricity and yellow goes all the way back to Zeus.

the terms you're looking for are additive and subtractive color mixing

>blue
Lighting in their sky
>yellow
You have never seen electric sparks? They are yellow, or at least appear to be.

prove it

thanks doc

because copper makes yellow sparkles while exploding
trust me i know

I know but it was never specified if we're talking physics or color, so I assumed physics.

>Why is electricity always portrayed as yellow
Literally because safety signs.

You can't do subtractive color mixing with visible light, since white is comprised from all the colors of the visible spectrum.
Once again it was never specified if we're taking physics or paint.

we're talking about electricity in real life, from what i understand.

>Why is electricity always portrayed as yellow or blue in videogames?
Pure lightning (thunder) is whiteish blue.
Sparks are yellow~orange ish.

>Poison is always green or purple.
Green and purple usually represent sickness or foul, just like on cartoons people turn green when they are about to puke.

>Ice and wind are blue.
Blue is usually associated as a cold color, so if it's a refreshing wind blue seems good. Same logic goes to ice.

In a nutshell some are about what we can see while some others are color theory on what we feel when we see said color.

Isn't it because of the energy or heat that it carries? Like how some sun are more red than the other (some are even blue) and the redder they are the hotter or was it the other way around. I do recall a white dwarf is the coldest.

Because blue is already taken by ice and water so it gets yellow.

Fuck if I know at this point bruv I've lost the ball

Christ almighty you just had to double down on it didn't you kek.
The whiter stars get the hotter they are; after a point they start going blue which is even fucking hotter.

When an electric potential arcs through a gaseous medium the excitation of the atoms/molecules' electron orbits causes the emission of a photon of quantized wavelength. That's what you're seeing.

Fact: lightning always looks coolest when blue or purple. Go home, yellow lightning.

On certain light switches you can see some white-blueish/yellowish spark for like a frame when you turn them on. Not many people process visual information fast enough to notice though.

based cirno poster

if you've seen a glacier then you'd know why ice would be white/blue
sometimes lightning can be orange or yellow

Thunder is a way cooler word than lightning though.

Wind is often green too.

yellow and blue electricity presumably comes from the color of lightning streaking through the sky
poison gets green or purple presumably through association with sickness in general
ice is typically light blue, like the way sheets of ice and snow look against the daylight
wind can be blue because of association with the sky

Arcs have a blueish white tinge.

Why are you getting mad all of a sudden. Correct me, I don't care, heck I welcome it. Don't need to be an asshole about it. I'm just recalling what I was taught at fucking school over a fucking decade ago.

awful

>Why is electricity always portrayed as yellow or blue

Atmospheric air turns a blue/purple colour when ionised by electrical discharge. Lightning can take on a yellow colour due to different combinations of that atmospheric air at higher altitudes.

>It doesn't have a color in real life.

You've never seen a Van de Graaff generator or Tesla Coil?

Electricity is white because heat makes things go white, the sun, a hot enough metal, thunderbolts, its portayed as blue/yellow because most artworks depicted them like that. Ice is blue because the water gets blue under some circunstances, wind is given a color for the sake of association.

I'm not mad I'm laughing at your expense while informing you, but I'm not mad. Unrustle your jimmies.

Yikes

Asshole.

Process of elimination, you fucking retard. Fire element is obviously going to be red and water is obviously going to be blue because those things are red and blue in real life. Then you have to split remaining elements among colors as best you can. Earth is going to be green or brown, and brown looks like shit so green it is. Air has to be one of the remaining ones, and purple makes no sense. Orange is too close to red. Yellow is the only thing left that makes some sense.

cringe

>red and water is obviously going to be blue because those things are red and blue in real life.
Fire ranges from yellow to orange to red(and can have different colors like green and blue as well), meanwhile pure water is clear, and seawater only appears blue or green thanks to the reflection and contaminants.

Checkmate, athetists.
