@Monkey:
Oh so you mean color scheme tertiary.
Which is completely wrong anyway because Orange is a secondary color.
Looking at it again the whole thing is even internally nonsense because it's invented its own color theory apparently from the ether. Rather than using an actual color theory wheel.
Or maybe I'm wrong and the main six colors really are red, yellow, blue, green, pink and turquoise lol. Who needs orange and purple, put em' in the background!This is just the level of scholarship I expect of the esteemed OroJackson forums
Well you did a good research, but not good enough i think. The color wheel you mention is called traditional painting color wheel (RYB). I could use that, it still make sense for the girls color, but i couldn't draw specific connection or anything for red (Luffy), blue (Sanji), and yellow (Ussop), so instead of that color wheel, the RGB or CMY is being used.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertiary_color
Thanks for questioning though, sorry its not what you expected..
@Monkey:
He associates her with orange, probably because that's her hair color. Which unlike Zoro and Franky is not a bizarre hair color, and is actually a normal if uncommon human hair color irl. That's the beginning and end of the significance there.
So why the orange hair? There's other normal or uncommon human hair color. Oda can answer, i think.
So why the orange hair? Oda can answer, i think.
Because…he wanted a protagonist with orange hair??? There's no deeper meaning in hair colors beyond Oda liking the look.
I think Strawhats will get more than 2 new crews. Maybe this is already have been posted here before, but i think this theory is pretty relevant. Original theory by @sahan1993 and image by @coletek of Orojackson forum
Primary~Red-Luffy#Green-Zoro#Blue-Sanji(monster3)
Secondary~Yellow-Usopp#Cyan-Franky#Magenta-???(crafters3?)
Tertiary1~Orange-Nami#SpringGreen-???#Violet-Robin(femme3?)
Tertiary2~Rose-Chopper#ChartreuseGreen-???#Azure-Jinbei?(non-human3?)
Center~White/Black-Brook
That's one hell of a stretch.
I really, really, REAlly doubt Oda even thinks there's enough of a difference to warrant having characters representing spring and chartreuse green. It's even worse with having to twist Chopper into rose and Robin into violet when Oda clearly doesn't care about that as he just goes with the generic pink and purple.
Well you did a good research, but
I didn't do any research. Color theory I've taken a class in, and the six main colors are things most people learn by Kindergarten.
Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple as the main six are such a universal constant that I'm almost surprised people on OroJackson haven't heard of it. Almost.
The color wheel you mention is called traditional paintin color wheel (RYB).
Yeah it's also called the color wheel.
The other stuff is used for things like printing or screen presentation and has more of a scientific tilt. Interest in a larger spectrum as regards mixing light and so on.
The RYB is the classic widely understood basic set that appeals more to artists (outside of art that utilizes light more like photography).
The six basic colors of RYB are far more starkly separate than the basic colors of RGB. Sure if you're obsessed on mixing you get more variety with the latter, but the foundations of RYB are more important to emphasize in most cases of someone thinking about how to use color in most basic mediums. Or even just the basic psychological stuff that people would think about.
Oda is not a photographer or scientist. He is an artist, and not even one who actively plays with color like a painter. He's a writer who draws 99% with pen and ink. Sometimes markers. He's 100% going to care about RYB.
So your asking whether the ages old concept of colors might be used by the artist dude looking for symbolism or not. You're asking a question that doesn't have to be asked.
Because no Oda isn't using the friggin' sciencey example.
And oh wait! We already have an example of him choosing colors by the RYB model. The main three admirals we were introduced to utilized the primary colors of RYB. Welp that settles that I guess.
I could use that, it still make sense for the girls color, but i couldn't draw specific connection or anything for red (Luffy), blue (Sanji), and yellow(Ussop), so instead of that color wheel, the RGB or CMY is being used.
"I couldn't make my theory fit so I looked around until I found something that kinda made it fit"
Is something you should never find yourself saying.
So why the orange hair? Oda can answer, i think.
So why aren't you interested in Sanji having blonde hair? Why just Nami?
(the answer of why she has orange hair is of course, why not?)
I'm thinking back at my time in Kindergarten… So nostalgic
@Cyan:

We don't know if its just that, really, atleast i didn't remember Oda saying that, or if yes he did, then i missed it
We don't know if its just that, really, atleast i didn't remember Oda saying that, or if yes he did, then i missed it
We don't know if aliens suddenly will land on planet earth either…
We don't know if its just that, really, atleast i didn't remember Oda saying that, or if yes he did, then i missed it
If Nami's hair color mean's something, then what about Sanji's or Zoro's? Or Chopper's, by stretching our definition of "hair"? And why didn't Oda give everyone a unique hair color instead of most of the crew (and future crew) have black hair?

Why just Nami?(the answer of why she has orange hair is of course, why not?)
Yep, thanks for the reminder, Oda did use the RYB color wheel on antagonist, Admirals, old set Admirals. The two new admiral's colors also taken from the secondary color on the wheel. Why didn't he use color to his protagonist? And did Oda tell us he didn't use friggin' sciencey example? (Oda did insert some sciencey in other things in One Piece as far as i remember) Oda is an artist, so colors and its variants are basics knowledges
Sanji's hair i think is related to his hereditary background, as we know its special.
For Nami's hair, why not white? For example
EDIT: sorry, i get caught by the excitement and go off track. Its not matter of what is Nami's hair, but Nami's color. He could apply the color to her clothing, without making the hair orange, it doesn't change the fact.
Why didn't he use color to his protagonist?
Oda hasn't used any sense of any color wheel on his protagonists. He's just choosing colors to fit them in some fashion.
You don't have to use a color wheel to pick colors fyi. It just worked with the initial admirals because there was an even three.
And did Oda tell us he didn't use friggin' sciencey example?
Oda as an artist and writer is going to use the classic aesthetically geared set up. All the more because he's a writer using them in general aesthetic sense and is doing absolutely no physical mixing whatsoever. End of discussion. It's a powerfully inarguable angle.
(Oda did insert some sciencey in other things in One Piece as far as i remember)
Yes, in regards to geography and weather. And other such things that are actually relevant to a story about people journeying around the world.
Not to his color symbology that has literally zero need of it.
Oda is an artist, so colors and its variants are basics knowledges
Oda is an artist and also a writer, so colors are being used for aesthetic and psychological value and not for technical specifications or maximum variety possible.
RYB is the prime aesthetic system. There's a reason it hasn't been supplanted out of existence by the other ones.
Sanji's hair i think is related to his hereditary background, as we know its special.
Sanji's hair is related to people sometimes being blonde. So Oda made a blonde guy. With at most it being some light indication of how Oda depicts North Blue as being One Piece Europe.
But even then there are blonde characters from other parts of the world like Sabo, Kohza, and even Otohime. So yeah there's no reason to think of people's hair as meaning anything special.
For Nami's hair, why not white? For example
Because then she would look like either an old lady, or a weirdo?
Making her a redhead is a good choice as well for a character who could be described as being kinda fiery tempered sometimes.
@Cyan:
If Nami's hair color mean's something, then what about Sanji's or Zoro's? Or Chopper's, by stretching our definition of "hair"? And why didn't Oda give everyone a unique hair color instead of most of the crew (and future crew) have black hair?
Oda give colors for SH, thats fact. The thing that i bring up here is her color scheme, as Oda stated. He could make Nami's hair black or other color, without changing her color, just as Sanji, Ussop and Robin
Because Oda thinks orange haired girls are sexy.
Why do so many people here hate Oro Jackson lol (i seldom go there tho)
@Monkey:

Yes, someone don't have to, but someone could have,

Well, we don't know what's in Oda's mind for sure, but we all know that Oda is very stretchy in using reference, that something we can't argue.
@Monkey:
Yes, in regards to geography and weather. And other such things that are actually relevant to a story about people journeying around the world.
Not to his color symbology that has literally zero need of it.
Maybe its just me, but Oda is very thoughtful about anything, expecially for his protagonist character. For example, datebirth. It isn't actually relevant for the story of a journey because it maybe will never bringed up in the story. But for example Ussop's birthdate is 1 april, lol, fyi. So for chara's color, its pretty important i think from Oda's perspective, because its literally described in the story
@Monkey:
RYB is the prime aesthetic system. There's a reason it hasn't been supplanted out of existence by the other ones.
Well, Oda stated that Franky's is Light Blue. Other that Blue, in RYB, the closest one is teal, thats more of dark cyan. You can't make something lighter when mixing color in RYB. So where did Oda come with Franky? Making new color wheel maybe?
@Monkey:
Sanji's hair is related to people sometimes being blonde. So Oda made a blonde guy. With at most it being some light indication of how Oda depicts North Blue as being One Piece Europe.
But even then there are blonde characters from other parts of the world like Sabo, Kohza, and even Otohime. So yeah there's no reason to think of people's hair as meaning anything special.
Two of three that you mention have some similarity.
@Monkey:
Because then she would look like either an old lady, or a weirdo?
Making her a redhead is a good choice as well for a character who could be described as being kinda fiery tempered sometimes.
Yep, she could be red haired, but Oda still could give her color scheme orange.
Also colour schemes makes for nicer fanart.
Not of much importance imo.
I think Strawhats will get more than 2 new crews. Maybe this is already have been posted here before, but i think this theory is pretty relevant. Original theory by @sahan1993 and image by @coletek of Orojackson forum
What the fuck kind of color wheel is that.
And why do you bother posting it when Brook already defacto breaks it?
Yes, the last character will probably have white, brown or pink hair just to fill out the spectrum and contrast the rest, (and because Red hair is Shank's color) but thats not in and of itself a huge theory. That's just color balance.
Oda's an artist, not a computer technician, he doesn't care about monitor color scale, he'll be going for the classic artist wheel.
(And CHopper and Robin are already filling purple and pink roles, there's no need for inbetween there.)
That aside, even in cases like Sanji where his official color is blue, he's pretty constantly in yellow and black so you can't even tell at a glance that would be his color… or Chopper who is all brown but wears a lot of pink. (not to mention Jinbe will be a third blue character)

When a few posters discussed why they like it there so much that's when my indifference towards the forum turned into a negative opinion. Well because I went through a ton of topics there and understood very quickly and clearly why some people would choose a place like that over AP Forums. Basically Oro Jackson is full of Arlong pirates. The Grand Line was a bit too much so they settled in the tamest of all seas. They built their own amusement park to impress and/or intimidate the locals who have no idea it's just a cheap knock off of something far grander across the ocean. But I mean it's not as if the Arlong Pirates wanted to settle there, they tried in the Grand Line but got lit up by Kizaru and then put in their place by big bro Jinbe.
Arlong Park isn't just the grand line, it's the new world for better or for worse. Many of us have seen plenty of unique races, fruit users, crazy weather patterns, etc, so when a newer guy brings the sky islands to our attention we don't get all stary eyed because 9 times out of 10 not only did we see the islands, we adventured there back and forth 100 times over. That new guy might feel like "his discovery" goes unappreciated and like I said earlier, goes looking for a place that makes him feel like a big shot. Of course I'm generalizing, OroJackson isn't full of folks who couldn't make it in the grand line, plenty of them are out there, it's just they settled on Green Bit.

I think that if you want to reference a 'algorithm' for the next SH it would have been the number one but there is no way Kuma is going to join so that breaks that one. I do wonder if his fruit got reincarnated when he got turned into a pacifista though…. :ninja:

Wow. You have me clapping with this analogy. Hats off to you, sir! :happy:
Jinbe aside, I think it's too late for another crewmate to join. Seems like we're entering the last part in the manga, a new crewmember won't have enough time to be fleshed out. Oda is barely able to give the current members enough panel time, it's why he keeps splitting them up constantly.
Not if Purin will join at th same time as Jinbe <3
2 are a given after all
regarding the color spectrum I just saw:
has Usopp always been yellow and Sanji always been blue?
And would Zoro be the other lighter green, because his haircolor isn't so dark.
would Jinbei be blue one in the bottom, left corner? I would have put him on red, seeing how he always wears red, but I don't know. Is this a popular theory?
Still not as bad as the letter theory
Anyway: obligatory 'don't forget Caesar' post
Damn is Oda gonna throw us a curve and have Vivi rejoin?

This is the perfect time for Vivi to join (if it's possible) what with Luffy just departing Zou and Vivi leaving Alabasta. Maybe they may cross paths again at the wedding and Luffy might ask Vivi if she still wants to join the crew. But there's also the issue of an aging Nefertari Cobra and taking care of him plus being the Queen of Alabasta once Cobra kicks the bucket so maybe she might not be able to join and I'm probably getting ahead of myself, but who knows but Goda.
Nah she is just going to the Reverie… I think if she joined now, unless she trained harder than Luffy, she will just be a liability. At this point in the series even the weak SH can be considered strong and I don't think Vivi would fit that bill. She is probs just gonna go to the reverie.
Pedro for nakama anyone? :ninja:

My only issue with Vivi is that physically I just don't think she can keep up with any of the crew. She couldn't 2 years ago and I can't imagine she had major growth with her fighting abilities to surpass the likes of Usopp now. I see her staying as secret diplomate that's pro Straw Hat until the great world war at the end.
I do see Vivi contributing to Robin's personal story, cementing her in further into the crew with her 6th person chapter.

Come to think of it, Vivi is aware of Robin in the crew, but they've never had a conversation/met in friendly terms. (post All-Sunday that is)
I'd love to see her reaction to Brook, Franky, and Jinbei
I wonder if Brook ever gone to Alabasta during his world tour.

No, because his body is still alive, thus would still have the DF. WE can't even say he's brain-dead, just seems more like mind-wiped.
I say that as it was never said that his body is dependent on machinery to keep it alive thus his brain must be active to keep the body's organs active, just no memories, no personality.

Watch Vivi turn out to be a racist. Her true celestial dragon origins are just waiting to be unleashed.
Yeah Vivi is totally cool with Robin being in the crew but everyone else in the palace assumed that she would take that news pretty roughly. I imagine the rest of the crew would feel the same way. We very well may get a Nami/Jinbe moment between Robin and Vivi only Jinbe was only recently aware of the problems that he indirectly caused Nami. Robin has had a long time to bond with the crew, her personality has grown closer to her friends and she knows good and well how close they were to Vivi so yeah, I'm feeling really confident her 6th Person chapter will come along when Robin feels like her final loose end with the crew is settled.
Nah she is just going to the Reverie… I think if she joined now, unless she trained harder than Luffy, she will just be a liability. At this point in the series even the weak SH can be considered strong and I don't think Vivi would fit that bill. She is probs just gonna go to the reverie.
Pedro for nakama anyone? :ninja:
I'm assuming you mean besides me?
@BeariousJones, one of the reasons against Pedro joining is that he is a swordsman. How do you counter it?
Yes, someone don't have to, but someone could have,
We have no reason to think he is. Let alone that there's any importance to his use of one. Notice that the admirals don't really have an importance attached to their colors aside from a hint at their powers.
Frankly I doubt we'll ever have an orange admiral.
Well, we don't know what's in Oda's mind for sure, but we all know that Oda is very stretchy in using reference, that something we can't argue.
Yeah actually we can pretty much close the case on this one. And I have no idea what you mean by "stretchy". If you mean "completely random and unpredictable" then no he isn't that.
Maybe its just me, but Oda is very thoughtful about anything,
He's also very casual and silly about lots of things. Like just having fun and picking associations with his characters that don't really mean anything but are fun. Like colors, or real world countries. Are you going to start arguing that there's significance to Brooke being associated with Austria?
For example, datebirth. It isn't actually relevant for the story of a journey because it maybe will never bringed up in the story. But for example Ussop's birthdate is 1 april, lol, fyi. So for chara's color, its pretty important i think from Oda's perspective, because its literally described in the story
You're defeating your own point now. The birthdates are largely arbitrary things Oda just does for fun, even letting random SBS letters decide birth dates for characters.
Also…when have the character colors been "literally described in the story".
Well, Oda stated that Franky's is Light Blue. Other that Blue, in RYB, the closest one is teal,
I'm not arguing that Oda is basing the character colors on any color wheels. I'm arguing that even if in the first place was going to, he wouldn't be using anything but RYB.
But for the record light blue or whatever the heck you want to call it is on the standard RYB wheel regardless lol (it's between green and blue). Look on most RYB color wheels and tell me that color isn't Franky's hair.
The fact that Oda isn't being super specific as to differentiate exact color names should already tell you he's not thinking that hard about it.
You can't make something lighter when mixing color in RYB.
You're still thinking about RYB in like a printing/science way and not the aesthetic way. Thus still missing the point by a mile.
So where did Oda come with Franky? Making new color wheel maybe?
I think Oda came up with Franky probably by thinking of a personality, and character idea, and maybe looked around the crew and noticed a lack of blue elements and decided to add one.
Two of three that you mention have some similarity.
Stop seeing patterns in every goddamn thing. Holy moly.
Now it's "blonde people are revolutionaries". Christ.
Yep, she could be red haired, but Oda still could give her color scheme orange.
She is redhaired…irl people with that color of hair are alternatively referred to as having orange or red hair with no real major thought put behind picking one because it doesn't matter at all. I don't know where you live, but I'm guessing maybe you don't have redheads around?
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
regarding the color spectrum I just saw:
has Usopp always been yellow and Sanji always been blue?
And would Zoro be the other lighter green, because his haircolor isn't so dark.
Zoro's hair is a much more earthy green in the manga. The goofy neon crap is only from the anime.
No, because his body is still alive, thus would still have the DF. WE can't even say he's brain-dead, just seems more like mind-wiped.
I say that as it was never said that his body is dependent on machinery to keep it alive thus his brain must be active to keep the body's organs active, just no memories, no personality.
So basically, Kuma can move and think, but he can't emote correct?
@'T€:
@$;3623453']@BeariousJones, one of the reasons against Pedro joining is that he is a swordsman. How do you counter it?
Thanks for the question. It's a good counter.
I'll summarize my counter. My counter is Pedro looks to have a machete. A machete is a unique weapon. It is different from a katana or rapier as a machete is also a TOOL. A machete also is comparable to a Chinese Dao Sword or Bolo Knife. Look up the martial arts connected to all 3 of those weapons. You'll better understand why I'm a Pedro fan.
Thanks! ;)
My only issue with Vivi is that physically I just don't think she can keep up with any of the crew. She couldn't 2 years ago and I can't imagine she had major growth with her fighting abilities to surpass the likes of Usopp now. I see her staying as secret diplomate that's pro Straw Hat until the great world war at the end.
I do see Vivi contributing to Robin's personal story, cementing her in further into the crew with her 6th person chapter.
In order for her to join any time soon, too many serious events would have to happen. Destruction of Alabasta for one. Either literal or as a kingdom. It's something that could actually happen sometime in the future, considering Pluton and considering the spreading Revolution, though, but not any time soon. And even if Alabasta were taken over, Vivi wouldn't just bail to resume the life of adventure. This appearance of her's doesn't make her rejoining SH any more likely than it was last chapter.

@The:

Doubt he can think. Otherwise he wouldn't need Vegapunk to promise him he will instruct him to protect Sunny until a SH gets to it.
If the last road phoneglyph is actualy on Marijoa, then Vivi is definitely the last Crewmate, because the SHs will have to go there to find it.
I feel a bit silly for suggesting it so early, but I'd actually like it if Pedro joined. Mostly because his personality seems to mesh very well with the Strawhats. They're a fun group, but if there's one thing they're currently missing it's a good straight man. Law temporarily fulfilled the role, and I think Pedro could take over while also getting along better with the crew.

Law temporarily fulfilled the role, and I think Pedro could take over while also getting along better with the crew.
Don't worry. You aren't suggesting anything too early.
What traits do you think Pedro has displayed so far that is "nakama" worthy?

Trust me, you're not the only one who votes Pedro for Straw Hat (myself included).
I heavily doubt he will join…
I will stick to my prediction... Jinbe is a given... And Purin will join as well... making the 11 complete
I know BeariousJones is feeling extremely giddy over all the Pedro screen time.

We know nothing about her so she may turn out to be another Boa, or Oda may surprise us. I hope Big Mom hasn't raised a wimp at least.
Pedro so far is Jinbei with a sword. Which is far less interesting than a Jinbei who shoulder-throws the ocean.

Zoro and Robin don't exist. Niether does the promised Jimbei apparently.

Of course we don't know much… but the statement about Sanji bringing his bride with him (LOL) and the fact that I PERSONALLY THINK that Jinbe and next/last crewmate will join very close to each other let me believing it... Further more it would be very interesting if she is either Bonney or 3-Eyes as a lot of people are speculating
But it is just an opinion. Nothing on facts. Same as Pedro absolutely has nothing going on him besides being "stealthy".

Like Jinbe?16chara

You know it.

Pedro is not going to end up as Jinbe with a sword. We just started to scratch Pedro's personality. And just wait for when Pedro fights. Look back at when Jack attacked Zou the 1st time. I don't recall a panel of Pedro fighting after the Guardians introduction. There may be a reason why his fighting style is a secret. I'm speculating it's a secret because it is awesome. :ninja:
Now I wanna see Pedro not joining, just to see BeariouJones having his mind broken.:P
