Reminds me of the color themes of Magic the Gathering, replace yellow with white and add black. Red: Firey & high energy characters that act like that. Blue: Intelligent & 'meta'. Lots of 'wizards' with that kind of personality. Green: That might as well describe an Ent. Yellow/White: Nice extroverted people, with a dash of self-righteousness Black: Death and negativity.

White is also largely about control and order, so I don't think that one fits well (which is fine since it is mapping a different color). The others, yeah, fairly close.

  White was traditionally about defense, purity, and positiveness. Kind of like holy energy in WoW, or Diablo 3, or ... I'm kind of reminded by the book/movie Divergent as well. You can also see it (albeit roughly) back in all kind of new age subculture.

    I may have a slightly different view than most players, since I also read the novels for the era I played the game (Invasion through Fifth Dawn). It fits during the Mirari and post-Mirari arcs, Odyssey through Scourge, and in the same era black also wasn't just "death and negativity" (though Phage certainly embodied those aspects).

      Oh, my PoV was about MtG in the 90s until say Tempest. It is probably out of date at this point, but I never liked the new stuff that much (after a few times jumping on the latest hype expac got boring, esp as the older cards were more powerful). I read a bit into the lore (IIRC there wasn't much available) and I read one magazine with a story within the Ice Age.

This article has better short descriptions of the colors, and elaborates a lot on the traits each color can have, how they disagree, agree, can be combined, etc: https://medium.com/s/story/the-mtg-color-wheel-c9700a7cf36d https://medium.com/s/story/the-mtg-color-wheel-c9700a7cf36d White: Peace through order Blue: Perfection through knowledge Blue: Satisfaction through ruthlessness Red: Freedom through action Green: Harmony through acceptance My favorite line in the article is probably that Green is the color of Chesterton's Fence; even though the field of software isn't very Green as a whole, you can still express conflicts and mindsets within that field using this color wheel. I'm definitely some combination of Green and Blue -- I want to see the ecosystem of kubernetes pods running smoothly, changes should have a really good justification, the only thing that matters is what does work, not what should work, etc.
