The true colors of Magnetism and Sonics


Recommended Posts

Hi, guys. I read these BS01 links about Magnetism and Sonics: Magnetism and Sonics . At first, Magnetism was labeled as having gunmetal gray for the primary color and black for the secondary color, like Jovan, Toa of Magnetism, while Sonics had gray as its primary color and black as its secondary color, like Krakua, Toa of Sonics, but Greg Farshtey says that these may not be the case. The colors look similar, anyway. I mean, what do you think is the true colors of the Matoran species types with the elements? 
 

For me, well, for Magnetism, I would go with Jovan’s colors, but I would think red would be a reasonable primary color and silver be a reasonable secondary color. For Sonics, I would go with Krakua’s colors, but I would think blue would be a reasonable primary color, like Sonic the Hedgehog.

I know Plasma is supposed to be white and orange, but that makes me think of those orange creamcicle pops I got from the ice cream truck as a kid.

I don't see anything inherently sound-like about blue. Keep in mind that Sonic was named as such to evoke the sonic barrier (because he's fast, not directly because he's loud) and was colored blue because he was designed as a cool hedgehog. There's not a direct correlation between the concept of sonics and the color blue.

Galok Kal be magnetism. Why magnetism not blu-silver?

Because silver was the primary color for all the Bohrok-Kal and the designers decided to confine themselves to the original primary colors of the Bohrok for the secondary colors of the Bohrok-Kal, but there were perhaps better ways to assign colors to the elements if they weren't working within those constraints.

Sonic is also blue because blue is the color of Sega's logo and because blue stands for peace.

He knows that. He proposed the idea simply as a random reference to Sonic the Hedgehog.

I think the exact same time, but orange and white has actually been done a bit and it looks fine.

I don’t know why you brought up Plasma, but the colors that you mentioned are sure to be true colors, even if there is no set or media depicting a Toa of Plasma.
