    I'm writing a novel right now and i'm torn between violet and platinum hair color for one of the characters.

    The character in question is one of four children, i've already decided on the hair colors of the others which are fiery red, obsidian black and white like the iris flower.

    What color do you guys think is more interesting?

    I looked up what color represents Order and it said Blue. Then again it listed off a bunch of other things too, but that's just an idea.

    A lot of inspiration for her comes from leviathan from hellraiser. I'm giddy just thinking about writing her.

    Violet. Platinum would be a bit too similar to white.

    Violet is just 'bloody blue' so I think it works with Order's color. And platinum is pretty close to white.

    or even harsh white hair that only looked duller in full sunlight. ^.^ While some people say that it's almost metallic, with highlights in chrome. ^.^ I get carried away with this stuff.

    Red: War
    Black: Famine? Death?
    White: Death? Holier-than-thou?

    When I come across with Black and White, I am not sure to follow with whose definition as Death.

    Violet is to me a better color to further distinct away from the three color palatte.

    Platinum is a metallic color and from the above conversation, I can tell you prefer this color, but a shimmering color means alternating between black and white seems like the character in person has not much of a stance and easily move between her siblings' stances.

    A search from the internet and a few questions suggested to me what @Mount Tai Unleashed wanted.....the answer is inside the authors imagination, I prefer to let them discover it.

    Those are good suggestions, btw.

    Pink. If a character has pink hair they are automatically best girl. It's the law.

    Well if she is a a manifestation or represent order usually purple is related to bad things, depending of the shade of course. But since it is order could be a golden color of valour. There is the metallic aspect of platinum and not similar to the other one with white hair.
    Could even be a mix of platinum and purple. Sometimes Order need to be harsh or benevolent. Half and half purple and platinum.
    Edited because I am bad in English.

    The red haired girl is a goddess of chaos, the black haired girl is the goddess of creation, the white haired girl is the goddess of nothingness.
