Colors for attributes?

[Firebeetle]

Weird question, what colors do you think should be associated with each attribute?

Strength
Dexterity
Constitution
Intelligence
Wisdom
Charisma

Feel free to provide rationale.

 

[CleverNickName]

Strength - the color of energy, force, power
Dexterity - the color of lightning
Constitution - the color of life
Intelligence - the color of ink
Wisdom - the color of a sage's hair
Charisma - eye-catching, attention-stealing

I would probably make Con brown and Dex green, but otherwise good choices.

Before the edit, anyways. So add blue for Int to the above as well.

[Asmor]

str

I'm confused. Were you going for a rainbow and switched green and yellow, or is that just a bizarre coincidence?

Going with the cardinal elements in Elements of Magic: Revised Edition and what ability score they are associated with:

Strength: Earth
Dexterity: Air
Constitution: Life
Intelligence: Death
Wisdom: Water
Charisma: Fire

Here is why I asked, I've made a cosmology for my homebrew, that uses the constellations from a prior issue of Dragon, the stars for the warlock in a more recent Dragon issue.

Players choose a moon (and star and constellation) that was in aspect at their birth. They spend "plot points" (roleplaying rewards derived from Amagi Games stuff) to use these.

The Misty Isles have six different moons.
Nergal the Red Moon- A moon covered in red sands with visible mountains and canyons. Plot points provide +2 to Strength.
Enlil the Lightning Moon- A moon covered in dark, swirling clouds and enormous lightning strikes. Plot points provide +2 to Dexterity.
Eridu the Green Moon- Covered in lush vegetation. Plot points provide +2 to Constitution.
Enki the Blue Moon- Covered in water and white, swirling clouds. Plot points provide +2 to Intelligence.
Nanna-suen the Silver Moon- A cratered moon covered in silvery dust. Plot points provide +2 to Wisdom.
Ninurta the Indigo Moon- A moon whose atmosphere seems to be a constant sandstorm of swirling indigo particles. Plot points provide +2 to Charisma.

Thanks for the help folks. Color coding a character sheet is also an idea, my favorite 3.5 sheet was.

I'd either go:

Str
Con
Dex
Int
Wis
Cha

or

Str
Con
Dex
Int
Wis
Cha

The colors seem to fit fairly well, and the familiarity of the order means you never have people confused as to which color represents what ability

I hereby declare that we should reintroduce comeliness into D&D so that we ca properly associate each attribute with a colour of the spectrum. There will once more be confusion between comeliness and charisma but that will be okay because no one really bothers with the difference between indigo and violet either.
