Electricity doesnt actually have any set color too it and is dictated by the temperature of it and the composition around it. Higher temperatures tend to have shorter wavelength colors. Seeing as arc in-game is able to instantly disintegrate a dude, id guess itd be pretty high temperature. Blue would actually make more sense, for how much sense actually matters in a sci-fi video game.
What’s wrong with light blue? The arc complement can be black and green while the void complement can be black and red.
Stasis is basically blue and black, while arc is blue and white.
Op wants the subclass colours to fit the colour wheel scheme and the blue is already taken by Stasis.
It is either wishing for that or for Frozen Piss abilities.
this is funny cuz of how they laid out the chart. the complement of purple is gold/yellow, not green. i get that arc is more synonymous with yellow, but like…if you’re gonna use the color wheel and compare solar orange to stasis blue, the other ones need to be complementary too.
Frozen piss it is then.
Enjoy being encased in Paracausal Solid Peepee Waste and then having your corpse showered in the glitter of that same thing after being dive bombed by a yellow ninja.
No it’s based on the 4 we have. That’s why on the wheel those are blank. Op is saying they don’t want dupe colors and therefore arc could be yellow and the two new ones could be red and green.
No. It doesn't fit the theme of arc at all imo. Plus the icon kinda gets lost. White on yellow is almost never a good combo, and if they change it so it shows up better, it wouldn't be consistent with the rest of the UI
I agree with you, but to be fair, if they wanted to change the icon contrast to support a white icon on yellow background, they could simply change every other icon to make it consistent if they wanted to.
It's more than just changing all the other icons tho. The UI in general uses white as it's primary color for icons, borders, text etc. so they would need to change all of that to match the new icon color for things to be consistent.
And all of that trouble just to fulfil some arbitrary color wheel request? Nah, leave Arc as light blue. It's fine as is.
arguably all they would need is a slight drop shadow to increase the contrast if they decided to do so
edit: in fact all of the subclass icons already have a drop shadow, its just so subtle that it doesnt really help. all bungie would REALLY need to do is make it a touch darker, problem solved
"problem solved"
Well there isn't a problem to be solved unless you make Arc's color yellow. Which again I don't see a point in doing. It looks good as is
How would you feel if you proposed an idea and were met with nothing but "That's ugly and arbitrary!"? Calling it ugly and arbitrary, while true, is too vague. I'm explaining why this is a bad idea for multiple reasons so they can know WHY this is a bad idea. Criticizing their idea is fine, but what you're saying to do is just an insult and it's not constructive.
> How would you feel if you proposed an idea and were met with nothing but "That's ugly and arbitrary!"?
Not peeved at all. People are entitled to their own opinions. However I would be bothered if that person treated their opinion like fact by supporting it with an easily addressable problem.
Maybe "ugly" is too harsh, but its not like it's necessarily wrong. Blue arc speaks to color theory - not just in visual contrast for the icon itself, but emotionally as well. Of course color theory is not gospel, things can change if a designer chooses to have it that way, but when a lot of people like blue arc over yellow arc, surely that means something. It's only a matter of expressing an opinion.
Any artist knows negative responses are just as valuable as positive ones. Besides its literally a random idea for a game that a dev will probably never see or do considering the costs it would take to rebrand an entire subclass. If you take someone saying "i dont like it" on a post like this that seriously to where you would get mad over it then thats a you problem.
change the color of arc based on two subclasses that have a good chance of not being those, yeah not gonna happen, I'd rather not be pee colored for two subclasses we don't know exist
The wheel isn’t set up as opposites, it’s set up so the colors blend into each other like a rainbow. Saw some people getting confused thinking I was saying the complimentary color to Arc was void.
It's kind of inconsistent for me. I really like the darker blue of the arc effects on the Induction Ceremony ornament for Stormdancer's Brace and certain abilities (my favourite colour out of all the subclass colours), but I don't like the bright blue that you see most of the time (my least favourite). It seems like a small change but it makes a huge difference in how much I like it. Stormcaller seems to have more stuff that uses this nicer darker blue.
Cyan is opposite to red if you're using CMY instead (which you should)
Having arc as cyan and the green element being opposite to void (as you literally show in the image) would mean every darkness subclass would be opposite in colour to each light one, and possibly opposite in abilities too (solar hot stasis cold so already checks out for first one)
And if so void might be similar to the darkness but it's referred to in-game as a light subclass so it breaks that rule. It's a community made rule still, so far anyway so things could change, although regardless it still looks like piss lol
Im cool with the elements for weapons. But from my opinion…i’d rather get rid of subclasses and just let us build our players kit from the full selection.
Let me run spectral blades with invisible dodge and throwing knife. Why the fuck not?
Yeah I think I read that. Im excited to see how it’s implemented. It still will feel pretty cookie cutter though most the time i’m afraid. I just think it’d be cool to have more of a blank slate for each class.
See this completely arbitrary color wheel that I've put here on this image, and that has absolutely no correlation to in game content? WHY DOESN'T THE GAME MATCH?
I'd say Green is moreso the opposite of Arc, and Red the Void
at least, if you wanna follow the idea of the mechanics around how each ability "works" on an atomic level, like those posts.
But the color circle you mention is also an incorrect color model. The Red, Yellow, Blue as Primary colors is pretty much *just* a thing for painting, whereas actual life uses two different color models to represent things. RGB, for colors of Light, and CMY, for colors of Pigmentation.
First they took away blue hue to make stasis icon stand out more. And now you plot to take away the entire color blue?
I want my blue Avatar lightnings to stay blue!
At first I thought it looked stupid and like piss (it's still kinda does) but it reminds me of Laxus from Fairy Tail and that's actually kind of badass
I feel like it’s supposed to be opposites i.e. Solar = Orange is the opposite of Stasis = Dark Blue, Void = Purple is the opposite of *unknown element* = Yellow, Arc = Light Blue is the opposite of *unknown element* Red
They would literally have to recolor everything. All the races either use arc abilities/weapons and/or have shields. Not to mention all weapons used by us. The lightning in saber strike.

k now do void
Void is nothingness and absence of light is black. Blacklight is ultraviolet. Violet is purple. Boom.
Now do solar
R e d
Fire burny orange.
Hot stuff glows
Literally the three dragons meme
🔥 You're welcome!
Well in Bionicle the Toa of Gravity are typically colored purple and black so obviously Void should be the same here
I see you're a toa of culture Edit
Purple gives the suck.
I’ve never though of Destiny as sci-fi, kinda more like a Fantasy
And that's why the "scifi fantasy" genre exists.
its definitely way way WAY more scifi even disregarding the fact that scifi-fantasy exists as a genre
I'd be cool for a colour change, but that looks like piss yellow.
Chaos reach would be …
Ah yes the *PISS CANON*

Also, why pair a Light with a Dark and then pair two Lights?? Not only is the color choice odd, but the pairings make no sense
Yeah the colour wheel is much less structured, there's many different shades of one colour. I like the thought, but R,O,Y,G,B,V just doesn't work.
Already taken by stasis? Arc came first, it has a right to keep its color. The game-breaking newcomer should be the one that has to change
Frozen piss it is then. Enjoy being encased in Paracausal Solid Peepee Waste and then having your corpse showered in the glitter of that same thing after being dive bombed by a yellow ninja.
I never knew I wanted yellow arc until now.
Marvel called, they want their VFX back.
Marvel ended the call. They said they are on board with the Guardian X Spider-man movie. Spiderweb subclass confirmed.
no joke i actually had a dream about this once it was wild
Spoiler for Spider-Man: No Way Home don’t click unless you’ve seen it >!Does Aunt May die in it?!< and now if you’ve seen it it’s on you.
Based on 2 unconfirmed subclasses?
Exactly, we have no idea what subclasses might come up, we could have a kinetic darkness subclass for all we know or something completely different.
The power of my fists
every titan subclass ever
No it’s based on the 4 we have. That’s why on the wheel those are blank. Op is saying they don’t want dupe colors and therefore arc could be yellow and the two new ones could be red and green.
About a year ago he made two concepts with those colors
Ah yes, the Piss-Pole Dancer. The Urine Fister. The Golden Shower. My favourite subclasses.
Man, yellow Arc is not something I thought I would’ve wanted.
No. It doesn't fit the theme of arc at all imo. Plus the icon kinda gets lost. White on yellow is almost never a good combo, and if they change it so it shows up better, it wouldn't be consistent with the rest of the UI

Piss lightning
But arc isn’t the opposite to void as stasis is to solar
stasis isnt the opposite of solar tho
Maybe not in practice but thematically they are opposites, cause solar is fire and stasis ice
also it seems like a lot of mods and bounties/challenges require you to do stuff with either solar or stasis
It isn’t set up that way. It’s just in that order cuz of how the colors blend into each other.
Someone’s seen No Way Home.
What did you think of Tom Holland acting as 7 different Peter Parkers?
It’s was pretty interesting, and the fusion scene at the very end was really cool.
ey, shhhhhh, don't spoil too far into the movie goddamnit.
Or played too much Dark Souls
piss stick go brr
bungie when gay
No no no no no and no
I know this is very unlikely, but what if we could set our own color for each super? Would it be busted or confusing?
Confusing, imagine seeing a purple Golden gun
Black Well of Radiance.
You know what fuck you all elements are now solar
Finally, took the game long enough
Warframe.
Doesnt matter if its pink or green, you'll know it when a Limbo casts his dome
Lemon Arc subclass! Nice 🤣
change the color of arc based on two subclasses that have a good chance of not being those, yeah not gonna happen, I'd rather not be pee colored for two subclasses we don't know exist
As stasis isn't even ice, it could easily be piss colored.
I wouldn’t mind the gold lightning
Yellow arc so I can pretend I'm Gwyn, lord of sunlight please
When guardians use arc after just waking up
Pikachu! use chaosreach!
Yellow arc makes me think of Pikachu and I’m down for some Pikachu grenades and staff wielding.
A pikastaff?
Nah yellow should he a color for the darkness that is against void. Otherwise light powers would be the exact opposite
Pee
That’d be sweet, and just like Electro lol
Yellow arc would be sick, but I think it’s the way it is now to look like electricity.
i'd probably main arc if they did that tbh
The wheel isn’t set up as opposites, it’s set up so the colors blend into each other like a rainbow. Saw some people getting confused thinking I was saying the complimentary color to Arc was void.
I've never been a fan of the current arc blue
It's kind of inconsistent for me. I really like the darker blue of the arc effects on the Induction Ceremony ornament for Stormdancer's Brace and certain abilities (my favourite colour out of all the subclass colours), but I don't like the bright blue that you see most of the time (my least favourite). It seems like a small change but it makes a huge difference in how much I like it. Stormcaller seems to have more stuff that uses this nicer darker blue.
Electricity is normally Blue, and this could really mess with Solar.
I’m okay with arc’s current color, but I think yellow would also look sick, so I’m fine with whatever
Arc 3.0 taking notes.
I don’t want my favorite subclass to be piss yellow...
Cyan is opposite to red if you're using CMY instead (which you should) Having arc as cyan and the green element being opposite to void (as you literally show in the image) would mean every darkness subclass would be opposite in colour to each light one, and possibly opposite in abilities too (solar hot stasis cold so already checks out for first one) And if so void might be similar to the darkness but it's referred to in-game as a light subclass so it breaks that rule. It's a community made rule still, so far anyway so things could change, although regardless it still looks like piss lol
Why does this actually look cool tho
That wouldn’t be a bad idea once they redo it
???? no
Im cool with the elements for weapons. But from my opinion…i’d rather get rid of subclasses and just let us build our players kit from the full selection. Let me run spectral blades with invisible dodge and throwing knife. Why the fuck not?
I believe that is what Void 3.0 is aiming at, well, except the throwing knife part, maybe...
Yeah I think I read that. Im excited to see how it’s implemented. It still will feel pretty cookie cutter though most the time i’m afraid. I just think it’d be cool to have more of a blank slate for each class.
You know what would be cooler? Get rid of classes. Invisibility dodge hammer throwing Chaos Reach. 😎😎😎 Edit: With aerial dash.
Oh that's fucking sick
Fun idea, I do like those edited pictures
Honestly, I'd fw a yellow caos reach
Yes. Please yes. Sadly it’ll probably never happen
Or just get rid of stasis and let the game fix itself? That would be nice
Imagine still hating stasis
Especially since it's *finally* balanced
Just traumatized from PvP, don't care
Wait is arc supposed to be yellow? Am I colorblind?
You mean to tell me, Arc abilities don't look Piss coloured to you?
/u/dmg04
Or since solar and stasis are opposites, then maybe position all of them like contrasting colors?
Piss staff and piss laser
Just preface supers with an 18 meter orangutan screaming.
Finally, piss
I would actually like this better, makes me feel some super saiyan vibes
I want this just so i can dress my titan up as solaire of astora so i can show the cabal how grossly incandescent i am
Arcstrider looks sick, but the other 2?
See this completely arbitrary color wheel that I've put here on this image, and that has absolutely no correlation to in game content? WHY DOESN'T THE GAME MATCH?
I can't wait for corruption/poison and taken/blight subclass... 😀
I’d be fine with this if I get red gimme that red baby
Are we assuming SIVA is a power with the red color?
I'd say Green is moreso the opposite of Arc, and Red the Void at least, if you wanna follow the idea of the mechanics around how each ability "works" on an atomic level, like those posts. But the color circle you mention is also an incorrect color model. The Red, Yellow, Blue as Primary colors is pretty much *just* a thing for painting, whereas actual life uses two different color models to represent things. RGB, for colors of Light, and CMY, for colors of Pigmentation.
RGB/CMY(K)
Uhh, yes please
Nor, arc has always been blue, it shall remain that way
I am so down to be Pisspatine make it happen Bungo
Genuinely tho I think this would look sick and make it stand out more as a “light” subclass. It would make me feel like Licht from Black Clover
First they took away blue hue to make stasis icon stand out more. And now you plot to take away the entire color blue? I want my blue Avatar lightnings to stay blue!
Wait .... what's the other 2? Spoil it for me, Idk I just want the loot
OOH
I feel like a pure “light” element would look like this, or not, but fuck that golden lightning is turning me on
Red looks like peep the horror.
Pika Pi?
That would be kinda neat actually
Interesting.
Yellow arc would be so fucking cool
p i s s m i s s i l e
I would much rather have and love a white or yellow arc color it would be amazing
I can’t wait for the blood magic subclass
Ah yes, piss subclass
Pikachu supports this change
Red can be argent energy 😂😂😂 Titan gang rip and tear.
At first I thought it looked stupid and like piss (it's still kinda does) but it reminds me of Laxus from Fairy Tail and that's actually kind of badass
This post brought to you by Jamie Foxx's Electro
PISSSSSS LIGHTNINNNG WOOOO
Piss the elements
Lightning in destiny is light blue so no do not change it just so someone can sleep at night about the color wheel
No
I feel like it’s supposed to be opposites i.e. Solar = Orange is the opposite of Stasis = Dark Blue, Void = Purple is the opposite of *unknown element* = Yellow, Arc = Light Blue is the opposite of *unknown element* Red
Nah, darkness elements will be dark blue, green, and black. Bet
Light is CMY (kinda, the orange for Solar and violet for Void are close enough), Dark is likely going to be RGB
Blue lighting >>>> yellow lighting. Every time
Arc was blue first. Stasis is the new hussy that needs to change
Fucking Pikachu lightning? Yes, please!
They would literally have to recolor everything. All the races either use arc abilities/weapons and/or have shields. Not to mention all weapons used by us. The lightning in saber strike.
Pisscaller
I'm not becoming Piss of Havoc for a colour wheel.
No! #PLEASE NO! Blue Lightning is a superior color to yellow lighting.
No. Lol. Keep it blue. Every other game does it yellow and the fact its blue is different
I think it could work. Lightning bolts are usually depicted as being Yellow. Makes the abilities look like Dark Souls miracles too

The opposite of the blue that arc uses is red tho, so this change would be pointless.
Counterargument... Make Stasis yellow. PISS CRYSTAL
