Using Colours

The use of colours with characters is very common. With the research I have done it is clear to see that the difference in the characters is enhanced with the colours of their clothes, eyes, skin etc. As with the research board I had created all the characters had a distinct link with dull colours with only a few that went against this rule.

Colours are often used with a semiotic meaning, for instance the colour red implies danger or a warning. this is something that is common knowledge throughout society and something that a child would be aware of too. Traffic lights use the colour red to STOP the traffic or pedestrian from crossing. This is drilled into everyone at a young age.

Another colour which implies a darkness is black. As with Darth Vader, his full clothing was black implying that his character is evil.
