As I mentioned before, typing this as best I can remember it and trying to double check what I'm writing as I do it. Please allow some lee-way as you check my information though, as this isn't as polished as the original data

On colour theory ... your stuff here seems a bit simple. For example, you haven't covered that Autobots largely prefer bright colours and/or primary colours, whereas Decepticons tend towards purple, green and dark blues. Note that the Decepticons often use "stealth" colours - purple is a neutral background tone on a powered-down Cybertron, whereas yellow, gold or orange would be a neutral background colour during the Golden Age.

You're also using too few colour concepts. You've got one idea for grey, yet it seems foolhardy to say that the death-like raw grey of the Dinobots carries the same meanings as Megatron's silvery grey. Starscream and Optimus Prime have near identical colours, except for a few yellow markings on Prime, but it seems highly implausible that they're perceived the same.

Further point; construction vehicles tend to use bright, almost fluorescent colours, usually green or yellow/orange.

As I'd mentioned prior, I'm trying to write this up soley from memory, and am planning to fill in the gaps with more information as I go. I doubt that the shades of a color mean exactly the same things. The Dinobots grey certainly has a different meaning than Megatron's silver, yet both colors would have overtones associated with death and would be aimed to intimidate those who saw it

Right. Just throwing suggestions at you at the moment really.

Well, i's easier to blend in with a purple building if you're purple too ...
