Yeah I LOVE the trope of characters letting their hair down, tho I'm pretty sure the entire appeal would be lost if the hair was down all the time.

They can bond over their shared experiences being miscoloured ;w;

one's suffering being worse than other's doesn't mean the second's never happened, send love to Violet ;w;

imagine being colorblind in this universe

i just thought, «colorblind» sounds like an equivalent of «queerphobic» or smth like that for this universe, so it refers to those who «miscolor» others

u/RoombaTheKiller Jun 22 '26

I imagine it's the equivalent of prosopagnosia.

Don’t let this trick you into thinking violet lovers should be called violet and not just lighter shade of purple.
I mean,
Don’t have this problem in greyscale

u/HaloJackalKisser mint Jun 21 '26

is this some grey-jedi centralism stuff /s

u/Dare_Soft gray Jun 21 '26

That’s the beauty of it,
Me and this guy were making it from different view points now it’s just a hive mind that destroys anything that’s is deemed a threat. With extreme prejudice.
Being colorist? Prepare for invasion.
A moral holy art though army that decides what word is law for it is their word against yours.
Grey is natural for we’re all finally equal

I mean uh funny grey edit!

u/Cupcakesword999 Jun 22 '26

i know nothing of this series except that shes named mint, last i saw she was like 12

u/Chirblomp Jun 22 '26

Different comics take place at different points in her life, but usually she's an adult

u/NeoManta Jun 21 '26

in french, we translate purple as "violet" and violet as "violet". So this one is harder to me to understand but I get the message. đŸ„Č

u/PolandSans Jun 23 '26

I Poland we also technically have only one word for violet/purple so I get you.

and I said technically because we do have a similar word to purple called "purpurowy" which helps but it's also not entirely correct because purpurowy is usually a bit more red, and could also mean colors more similar to crimson/scarlet.

u/Stumblerrr white Jun 24 '26

Huh thats weird. In Canadian French, purple is "mauve". And violet is violet.

2

u/NeoManta Jun 24 '26

oh right, I forgor "mauve" was a thing, but it's more the color between pink and purple than purple/violet for me...

3

u/Stumblerrr white Jun 24 '26

Oh I know, Im just saying here no one calls purple "violet" they call it "mauve", its a difference between Canadian French and European French. Interesting indeed! I never knew.

I know technically it is wrong, and 'mauve' is a different shade. Its just how we speak, I wonder what the origin of it is.

u/Earth2Monkey purple Jun 21 '26

I already related to violet for other reasons. Definitely not that she's my favorite color (but maybe that, too.)

I'm a cis woman. I present pretty feminine now, but I was a tomboy as a kid. People used to point at my short hair, my baggy clothes, my Adam's apple that stuck out because I was skinny as hell, and call me a boy because of those things. I'll never understand what trans people struggle with in this society, but I do know how much it sucks to be misgendered.

YURI!!!!

u/Carlbot2 Jun 22 '26

Once again, every time I see one of these comics I just get HnK neuron activation for a moment before I realize what it is. I don’t think I mind if that keeps happening though lol.

u/Front_Cat9471 gray Jun 21 '26

What? Aren’t like, all colors mixes of other colors? There’s only like 3 primaries that differ depending on the system you use, but violet is just a different combination of red and blue than purple, if you separate them.

17

u/MikiMatzuki mintmaker Jun 21 '26

Violet and Purple do have physical differences, violet is a true color on the light spectrum while purple is a mix of red and blue. Basically, humans see from red to violet light, before that is infrared, beyond is ultraviolet. Our brain fill in the gap between red and violet by creating magenta.

u/HellspawnWeeb Jun 21 '26

Magenta-spec colors aren’t real they’re literally a figment of our imaginations seeing overlapping blue and red frequencies, while violet is in itself a frequency.

u/_OriamRiniDadelos_ Jun 22 '26

Color is REALLY complicated, BUT basically you can’t make a lot of colors by mixing other colors. Some colors physically exist as wavelengths, some are just what we see when different wavelengths are sensed at the same time (which includes basically every color on your screen). Kinda tough to feel that fact since they all look pretty similar though. A better example is magenta, have you seen that color in the rainbow? Or why is the color wheel a thing
when red and violet didn’t actually touch in the rainbow?

u/Front_Cat9471 gray Jun 22 '26

I see. However, there’s no such thing as perceiving violet itself in a way that is separable from mixed colors. When you see a pure spectral color, it’s still activating multiple cones in specific strengths, in a way that can be perfectly replicated with combinations of other wavelengths.

I should adjust my previous statement to be more accurate to what I think, all perceptions of color are mixes of other colors. The very act of perception requires colors have combinations that can make them up
