Mar 02, 2013 15:20

I'm trying to come up with a list of colours that are iconic to The Sims 2. I'd like to try to get at least one for every colour of the rainbow and build from there. Here's what I have so far ( Read more... )

Ah! Yeah, that would work for one or both of those. I had forgotten all about llamas. I'll work that in there somewhere, for sure. Thank you!

I'd count the Platinum plumbob as a significant white.

Genies and vampire bats/particle effects are also purple, but I think woohoo hearts are more iconic than those.

Orange - Grilled cheese! (though the first thing I think of is how the stove always catches fire. :P)

Grilled Cheese! That is perfect for orange. Thank you, thank you! And it's exactly the sort of orange I want.

All of these other ideas are good too. I think platinum is definitely the lead contender for the white name.

Could a cowplant be used for anything? That's pretty iconic, though I don't know if any one colors sticks out.

Bonehilda black would also be alliterative.

I think the cowplant is more of a print than a colour, and I already have that one filed away for future reference. Cowplants are very iconic.

I think Grimmie would beat out Bonehilda for the black namesake, since she didn't make it into the Sims 2 (officially). I'm also considering "Mortimer" for black to go with "Bella" for red.

brown - Bigfoot, Werewolf
purple - Genie (but woohoo hearts are better)
silver/grey - Servo, dark grey - Zombie
yellow - Dina gold digger
army green - General Grunt
black - Grim Reaper, Olive, Cassandra's pigtails

Lots of good ideas here, but I especially like Bigfoot, Genie, Servo, and "Grunt Green" (not surprisingly). Thank you for the great suggestions.

Orange: furious flames. They seem to be a nice shade of orange, right?

That's an excellent idea for a darker orange than Grilled Cheese. It's a keeper! :) Thank you.

I don't know, the first thing I thought of for orange was Lilith and Angela's hair. It's supposed to be red but.. hey. The matchmaker is also a bit orange-y

Thank you! Those are both good ideas for other orange hues. And I do agree that the Maxis red hair is pretty orange.
