Colour Theory
This is just me looking at colour theory and trying to see if there is any sense in the colours chosen for Thunderbirds and Thunderbirds are go.
Here we have the coloured sashes from tos....Scotty with the blue sash on blue uniform hmmm...also Jeff's gold sash I think is from an old add comercial...please comment if u now what it's called...Being the father and leader and founder of thunderbirds I can kind of see why Jeff's sash is gold...wait! Is that gold or bronze?....though I do like the tones of their colours...They give me relaxed feels...Is that supposed to help calm the rescuee in a situation?...Also poor Alan with the white sash....imagine trying to keep that clean....Ok...I personally can see no logic in their colours overall...
Moving on...
I noticed that if you squint your eyes...then if you mix Scott and Virgil together (Blue and Green)...the you kind of get kayos colour...then if you mix Alan and Scott together you get Grandma....and then I think John and Alan make brains...
Though take into account a lot of people (including me) see Scott's signature colour as blue...but his sash is grey/silver?!...and so is Jeff's...
Also Penelopes just Penelope...Pink!...you go girl!...
Again...I don't see too much logic...
And finally as a bonus I decided to look at the Thunderbirds (the vehicles)...
I noticed that they all consist of one major colour and two minor colours...haha success some logic here yay!
The colour red is the only colour to be featured on every TB...
TB1, 2, 3 and 4's main colours all match their pilots sash colour (e.g. Virgil Green, TB2 green)...that is except for John and Kayos vehicles...hmmm...
TBS and TB3's colours are kind of reversed...
TB5 is the only thunderbird that features a bronze colour...
Ok I'm done now!
I don't know if I learnt anything or if this was a waste of time but...
Meh.
Please comment on your thoughts!
I'd love to see what other people think!
Thankyou so much!💕
I have loved discussing with everyone their different opinions.
And with the colours I can see that in TOS their baldrics do have a matching colour with their thunderbirds...
Except John's...where is the purple or lilac on TB5?!
I adore chatting and discussing with others as well, so I'm very glad that you love it also ^^
If I recall, it was SUPPOSED to have the lilac marking above the brass / the brass was supposed to be lilac buuuuut it could be that John kinda is left out of a fair bit plotting wise so they just didn't give the lilac to his 'Bird (poor boy)
I generally make the section above / behind the brass tube lilac in color as it's decently close to the off-white of the station when I'm drawing it
(I also tend to think that Jeff's baldric for TOS is 'brass' becuase tosJeff 100% has the right sense of humor for that ('the brass' being military slang for the commanders, ergo, the commander of IR having 'the brass' baldric XD )
Honestly, given that 3 is ALSO supposed to be John's 'Bird (And 5 is ALSO Alan's) I legit would have liked there to be both a white and a lilac stripe on 3 and 5 ^^
I love chatting! (especially about Thunderbirds)
Haha I guess the creators of Thunderbirds didn't expect people like us to go and try and find logic and meaning behind their designs...
