Forum:Devil fruit color schemes: suggestions

'Good day everyone! :D'

As promised, the follow-up thread concerning the Devil Fruit Colorschemes voting. Sorry that it took me so long to create this thread, but I had to carefully think about on how to approach it, since discussing a color scheme is apparently not part of the regular procedure. In fact, they are either randomly chosen or colors are used that somehow "fit" the theme of a crew or faction.

So, why bother discussing them now?

In a recent vote, the community decided to handle Devil Fruits independently from its user or faction, resulting in their very own (unlinked) color schemes. Needless to say, with 68 affected articles, letting one person decide upon all of them doesn't really seem right. So here we are, open for ideas and suggestions - to find color schemes that meet the requirements of the voting result.

'Result? Requirements?' 

Indeed, the decision to treat devil fruits individually also allows us to use colors that "match" the devil fruits power or image, since we don't have to decide across the board. To avoid as much personal preference as possible, the voting result comes with requirements:

The autonomy of the Devil Fruit must be evident.


 * The main reason, the color scheme must be unique to the Devil Fruit

The color scheme should consider:


 * the look of the Devil Fruits power, like the pink beams of the Mero Mero no Mi (example)


 * the look of the used picture. Important if the fruits power has no specific look, like the Nemu Nemu no Mi (example)


 * while not always possible, the perfect solution would be to achieve both, like in the case of the Doku Doku no Mi (example)
 * In any case, people should be able to read the text, color contrast is absolute necessary (achieved by using light/dark combinations)

'Okay I got it Jinbe, but ehm... the colors you have chosen are...whats the word....horrible? '

No problem! I went ahead and altered the color schemes to offer temporary consistency, and of course to end what I have begun - after all I can't start something and expect others to finish the job for me. That said, all current color schemes are just suggestions.

You can like and accept them, or (and this is the very reason for this thread) add your own suggestion to the table. This topic will last one week, as arranged with Yatanogarasu. After that week, we will see how many suggestions actually went in and do a quick vote if necessary - lasting for 3 days. Please keep in mind that this thread serves as a platform to gather color scheme suggestions - for criticism concerning the voting result itself, please use the official thread: 4 Discussion II, thanks! 16:06, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Right, lets start with the first suggestion, from Aldarinor concerning the Gura Gura no Mi:
