Digimon Adventure and Colour Theory - Taichi Yagami: Orange (& Blue) [Text Source: Colours Explained]
“Cheerful and optimistic, orange is energetic, spontaneous, and dynamic. It’s a color that resonates with young people, but that can also be arrogant and prideful. It stimulates us, mentally and physically. Still, it can be superficial, insincere, and exhibitionist. At the same time, orange is an attention-getter without being too aggressive, and it conveys transformation. As an open-minded and risk-taker color that changes with the seasons, orange is uplifting, offering emotional endurance and igniting motivation in dark times.”
More information on how Taichi relates to his signature colour “orange” (and his associated colour “blue”) under the cut.
