Literally just making it any solid color would've been better guys.

I'd like to point out that the rainbow has more positive than negative meanings.

Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. The rainbow does have more positive connotations than negative like the @ mintymaiden said. For example, violet is associated with more money, wisdom, and elegance than with blood and death just like the chart shows you. Also, check out "The Designer's Dictionary of Color" by Shaune Addams. Have fun learning something

You can theorize to Thrashthrust and back but that doesn't change my immediate reaction which is that someone is literally dragging corpses around

I like that the presumption here is that "No One On Grumblr Has Heard of Color Theory. Let Me Explain in Depth" rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to "this is a hospital and that looks like blood"
like, color theory doesn't exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Hemospectrum Paint is asymmetric splatters and splotches against the wall, or in this case, a shellbeast trail on the hallway's floor, and infographic won't override the viewers' instinct

this post is the perfect summation of grumblr's reading comprehension and critical thought abilities
To be fair, there's only a few places I can think of where you could expect to see rainbow trails of blood. None of them are Earth. I don't know what that says about the folks who see it and immediately go to body drags.
buddy...
I mean, yes, there but that's very much not Earth so it's included in the "none of them Earth" category. And let's appreciate that not all the creatures from Illthdar stay there - there's two groups of people who see rainbow trails of paint and translate it to blood tracks. One of those is a lover of fantasy, the other is a cryptid.
All humour aside, there are a lot of fantasy stories that employ the use of blood of many colours - Illthdar happens when someone takes the common threads and weaves them into a nightmare baby.
