Color Rules (Canon Lock)

Color in ZaroVerse is not aesthetic decoration.

It is semantic, energetic, and canonical.

Colors represent states, roles, and system-level truths.

Core Principles

• A character or system’s primary color does not change casually
• Color changes only occur through earned narrative events
• No character may freely swap color identity

Canonical Color Meaning

Yellow

• Represents origin energy
• Associated with emergence, spark, and catalytic presence
• Zaro’s core color

Cyan

• Represents control, observation, and system intelligence
• Associated with ARC entities and monitoring constructs

Magenta

• Represents interference, anomaly, or deviation
• Appears only during unstable or transitional events

Black / Void

• Represents absence, corruption, or collapse
• Never portrayed as neutral

Forbidden Usage

• No random recoloring for style
• No multicolor “power-up” effects unless explicitly canon-approved
• No rainbow or spectrum blending without narrative cause

Color is lore.

Breaking color rules breaks canon.
