I am designing my own world, and I am placing colors for each school of magic. What are your opinions on what are good choices for colors for each school of magic?
I am a big fan of different orders of magic, and I thought that I might try out having every school have an alignment as well as a color. Any suggestions on these?
Thing is, black isn't a mixture of all colors - that would be white. Sure, black is a mixture of all pigments, but pigments are subtractive - so you have no reflected light, not all of it.
In mythic Races, there are a race called the Pevishan, who are touched at birth by the arcane. They are born into 'families' of magick (represented by schools).
There behavior is affected by the family they were born into (like a zodiac):
Abjuration: Silver
Conjuration: Gold
Divination: White
Enchantment: Blue
Evocation: Red
Illusion: Purple
Necromancy: Gray and Black
Transmutation: Green
