D&D General Which colour do you think of first when you think D&D?

[Mezuka]

For me, it is pale blue. The dice in my Basic box (1981) were pale blue. I think it's the combination of the colour and the polyhedral dice that created this link in my brain. I had never held polyhedral dice in my hand before.

What about you?

 

[kenada]

I think of the yellowish-gold color from the background of the logo used by 3e and 3.5e. 3e was the first edition I played (excluding computer games).

 

[Yora]

Red.

An orange red, like firelight on masonry walls.

 

[GMforPowergamers]

red like the dragon red

 

[Oofta]

Red. Red like the blood of my enemies. Red for the look of rage on my player's faces when I, once more, foil their cleverly planned but ultimately futile plans. Bwahahaha!

 

[James Gasik]

Black, like the coal-black heart of an old school Dungeonmaster.

 

[Willie the Duck]

Color? I don't know, tan-grey like stone dungeon walls I guess.

 

[GreyLord]

Many colors, like a Rainbow.

BX and BECMI had Red, Blue, Green, Black, and Gold (And white if you include the RC) as colors.

Many colors shows all are welcome. Many different variations on the same game. Variety makes it stronger.

Plus, my dice all have so many different colors, only a Rainbow explanation could do.

Black, for the black-cover 2nd Ed PHB.

Which is odd - that was a fairly minor purchase along the way, being neither my first product (Red Box), nor even my first 2nd Ed PHB (that was the original cover). But there it is - that was the first to come to mind.

RED - from the D&D logo, from the Gazetteers (Gaz 3 being the first book I owned), from the Basic Cover in BECMI and from the chromatic red dragon featured on so many covers and artwork.
