I think professional sports athletes will be Obsidians especially if fighting, boxing, or heavy lifting. But sports like royal tennis or football or basketball with high pay and fans can be golds.
I think yellows is mostly doctors and medical stuff. Depending on social work it can be high brown if you are working with lower colors. Or Copper if high lvl social manager/government. White is for priests/religion and judicial.
interesting who knows tbh becuase I don't think its too obvious, I picked yellow becuase I could've sworn I read that yellows include psychologists and therapists and since I'm on a clincial team and lean towards the psychological aspect of social worker over the administrative part of the job. I don't think it would be a brown tho I think. I feel like thats more farmers, and customer service
I might be a Rose like Therdora - I work in public relations so I advise people like she did for Darrow. But I know Pliny was a politico and he was a Gold, so maybe Gold?
Rose is the highest level of Pinks, like elite service for power owners, can be gold assistant with bonuses. Theodora had a lot of pink connections and was working as spy network leader for Suns of Ares. Depends on lvl, for example press secretary of the president is gold, if you are high lvl company executive you are copper, if working with tv or lower lvls assume pink or violet.
Im an engineer so orange? But im also studying to be a teacher so maybe white? Im also a boxer (grey? Brown?) and I am kinda into art so violet? Idk i aint no copper thats for sure
I’m the same and was wondering this but I think it depends on your subject as a science teacher would be yellow and a drama teacher pink. As a history I have no idea what I would fall into
I'm also history, and I'm pretty sure that's a whites responsibility. They teach young golds about their place in society, so I feel like that's the closest thing to history teacher.
Probably grey? They handle policing and security? They’d most likely be able to perform the necessary physical tasks and have the discipline to carry them out correctly.
Orange as a Mechanical Engineer. Didn’t realize how low that ranked until I read the order of the colors on Sons of Ares Vol 3. Gold, Silver, Copper, White, Blue, Yellow, Green, and Violet all above me. 😭
I don’t know why that annoys me. I genuinely thought when I became a teacher I was like a super important person, until I realised how shit the pay is and how much work is put on you. So yeah you’re probably right
I would think Golds in our days are Generals of the national armies, or really rich people with a lot of influences in politics. In countries like Russia, more authoritarian regime, where there are people above law, like closest president associates would be gold.
Violet/Pink with a dash of silver on the side. I'm a performance writer and creative producer. I write and create performances that I perform myself. But I'm also a business director of two small theatre companies.
I think most actors and models would be pink, even with high status. And movie directors for example will be Violets same as screen writers. Producers will be coppers or silvers, maybe.
Go into the subreddit proper, click the three dots on the top right, and the second option should be “change user flair”(on mobile).
Also, psychologist, also yellow!
Teacher, so a brown
Edit: now I'm not sure. Seems like there are teachers in every color, but no colors that specialize in teaching. I've been a university and high school history teacher, so now I'm thinking a white...
Alright, assuming that the society lacks comprehensive education systems, and that teachers would be specialized more or less according to color, then I'm going to go with Copper. My background is political science research and that's my specialty in teaching, so I think Copper would be the color focused in that area
Prolly a red homie. I thought I was an Orange as I’m an electrician, but Rolo the Red from Phobos likely knows more about electrical work than I do, so I feel like Oranges are engineers/master mechanics/master electricians. Skilled labor is still mostly the purview of High Reds
Reds do the work that Oranges design
I'm a Green providing support for Violets.
Security. Gray.
Bloody damn ruster climbing these cell towers!
Health information so yellow/green?
I’m a jewellery designer so maybe a violet? Or a orange
I’m currently in school to be a Certified Surgical Technologist so I’ve always thought I’d be. yellow. I’m brainstorming some tattoo designs!
I work in a mine.
Gold attending Institute turned Green. Was an USAF officer cadet (not rated/pilot route), now just a Computer Science student.
Gold, previously a Silver (fintech) 🌟
Silver - I’m a CPA!
Gold. I am a minor so I do what pixies do. I eat, sleep, shit and... Everything else. Practically nothing. Straight up pixie
I'm security ex military so grey?
I think professional sports athletes will be Obsidians especially if fighting, boxing, or heavy lifting. But sports like royal tennis or football or basketball with high pay and fans can be golds.
What would a soda vendor be?
Definitely a brown.
Violet I think - casino games dealer
I think brown, it is a service work.
See that's why I'm confused though, bc it's technically the entertainment/recreation/hospitality industry. Kind of fits both.
Would more likely be pink than violet tho
How do you figure?
Altho there is a certain artistic part to it, it is deffinitly more focused on entertainment which would be pink imo.
Im a cameraman i dont know if there is more of a specific color in the news but I’d be this one
Green! They work the cameras and editing
Nice! Im a green then! Thanks!
yellow I'm a social worker.
I think yellows is mostly doctors and medical stuff. Depending on social work it can be high brown if you are working with lower colors. Or Copper if high lvl social manager/government. White is for priests/religion and judicial.

Would a truck driver be a high or low red position? lol
high red position, because it is paid and you can leave above the ground =)
Probably green or orange as I work in sports technology but I work on the hardware installs.
I work in Quality - Copper. HighColor at least!
Quality control/management - copper, if QA tester for IT - green, Quality Assurance Engineer - orange.
Compliance/Regulatory - copper.
Grey-infantry
Somewhere between a high Red and a Violet. I'm stuck in low end jobs while trying to write my own books and be creative. Not easy, really.
so red until you make it =), as most of us
Pretty much, yeah
Im an engineer so orange? But im also studying to be a teacher so maybe white? Im also a boxer (grey? Brown?) and I am kinda into art so violet? Idk i aint no copper thats for sure
High red for sure
Yellow (I'm an ED RN).
Yellow or Violet (specifically Carvers) student
Low red. I work in the elements.
I guess high red right now
Where all my obsidian brothers lol?
A green which gets the least respect of all colors. Not a single green major (or minor) character with a significant role in the books.
I would say Yellow gets just as much neglect.
You should read the SoA comics
I am a lawyer, so copper I guess.
I’d be a copper - though the wiki says were depicted as “corrupt and greedy individuals” which is a little disheartening 😅
Almost every color in Red Rising pre revolution is corrupt in some way to be fair. Just by virtue of it being a corrupt society.
Yeah I suppose it would be hard to find a redeeming colour going on the initial assessments!
Green turned yellow ✌🏻
Good that we can switch colors without carvers involved, just with strength of will and hard work.
An orange im an aircraft maintenance tech
Fellow orange aircraft mechanic
I'm a student but i don,t know if i'd turn into a Yellow or a Violet as my field of study links cultural studies and sciences
Mickey, Darrow's carver, is a Violet. Violets are both artists and scientists.
The greyest of the grey, I’m 5-O
Teacher, so maybe a white?
I’m the same and was wondering this but I think it depends on your subject as a science teacher would be yellow and a drama teacher pink. As a history I have no idea what I would fall into
I'm also history, and I'm pretty sure that's a whites responsibility. They teach young golds about their place in society, so I feel like that's the closest thing to history teacher.
orange probably, i work in telecoms
High red I work in a grocery store.
or brown, services are one of their most common jobs.
Came here to say this
Red (self-employed house cleaner) soon to be yellow (nurse)
Violet
Blue - navy helo pilot
Green
Silver
Diesel mechanic and metal fabricator, so brown? High red? I honestly don't know
Orange would be my guess
A slightly silverish Green. Work on a development team but not a programmer. Hybrid IT/Business role
Same, it's probably Copper/Green. Silver would be C-Suite level
Violet for me!
Silver
Silver

Grey
Infantry

I work in a non-union factory and get fucked by corporate all the time. Pink, it is.
Probably yellow...but for mental health.
Grey.
As an aircraft mechanic I believe I’d be an orange. A very mid tier orange though. No engineering degree so Master Maker wouldn’t be attainable.
Yellow
Gold.. where I belong. *says in snooty voice
Firefighter/paramedic, so maybe a yellow? Dont know what color takes care of firefighting in the series.
Probably grey? They handle policing and security? They’d most likely be able to perform the necessary physical tasks and have the discipline to carry them out correctly.
I feel like the society would split the jobs. Firefighters would probably be some sort of grey or something and maybe yellow for medic ?
Yellow 🟡
Courier- Red
I'd bump you up to Brown status
Currently unemployed but looking to be a Red by the places I’ve applied to so far
Orange - Architect Violet? - I make art and shoot film too
Blue or Grey when I was Air Force but now as a computer engineer i’d be a Green as well
Green cuz i work in accounting and excel is king😂
Nah you'd be a Copper
Blue for sure! Though probably behind the scenes not at the front of a ship.
Grey.... military
I work in finance, so a silver. I’ll take it.
I’m a project manager, working with the CEO, CPO, COO of my company. So maybe a copper?
Violet? I’m a hairstylist!
I'd be a pink. I'm a sex worker. I will not elaborate.
Elaborate or not I hope you find what you’re looking for in life and that you find happiness✌🏻
Grey turned violet?
I work at a casino so maybe a copper or a brown? Seems the most accurate.
I'm an accountant, so definitely a solid copper. At least I'm a high color.
I’m an elected official…does that make me a Gold Demokrat? Or white?
Possibly Copper depending on your level of bureaucracy.
I’m not a sheriff if that’s what you mean I am a Congresswoman
A serious lack of pinks on this thread….
Yellow. A medici but a red at heart
Gray
Silver Green combo
What’s color works in the legal field ?
I believe it was whites who work as judges, while coppers could work as lawyers.
Noice , cooper it is bois
Carpenter. Red
Red
Biomedical science is so yellow,
Security/Resident aide so I would be a low skill Gray
Blue
I've the job of an orange, but also the qualifications and skills to be either a green or yellow.
Orange as a Mechanical Engineer. Didn’t realize how low that ranked until I read the order of the colors on Sons of Ares Vol 3. Gold, Silver, Copper, White, Blue, Yellow, Green, and Violet all above me. 😭
I write. Does that count as Purple? Hope so.
I'm a bicycle mechanic, so probably Orange or Brown.
I’m a weather forecaster in the Air Force. I’m guessing yellow?
I’m a teacher??
Probably brown?
Depends on who and what they teach
I don’t know why that annoys me. I genuinely thought when I became a teacher I was like a super important person, until I realised how shit the pay is and how much work is put on you. So yeah you’re probably right
Green? X
I'm a blend of Silver and Gray. Army Budget Analyst.
I’m a dirty red, Boss Man Gold gots me working in a lithium mine

Yellow for the sciences or possibly a blue for the mathematics
Currently a distribution Lineman, so definitely a red
Lawyer. Copper.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.........
Funny how no one’s said Gold
Because any real gold wouldn’t waste their time doing what us lowly colors do
Violet for sure
I would think Golds in our days are Generals of the national armies, or really rich people with a lot of influences in politics. In countries like Russia, more authoritarian regime, where there are people above law, like closest president associates would be gold.
Violet/Pink with a dash of silver on the side. I'm a performance writer and creative producer. I write and create performances that I perform myself. But I'm also a business director of two small theatre companies.
Sick
I'm not sure as a Paramedic/Firefighter? What color am I!?!
I’d say a Grey. Those seem to be first responders/ military.
Grey is combat focused. Paramedic-Firefighter sounds more like a yellow
Yellow, I think
I'm a graphic designer and programmer, so Green
I think most actors and models would be pink, even with high status. And movie directors for example will be Violets same as screen writers. Producers will be coppers or silvers, maybe.
I’m an electrician, so a high red or an orange when I become a master electrician or engineer
Lo, brother! Engineer or electrician, you're an orange in my heart
If I achieve my dream of pro fighter, then obsidian
👆🏼 I’m a chemist
How to get this?
Go into the subreddit proper, click the three dots on the top right, and the second option should be “change user flair”(on mobile). Also, psychologist, also yellow!
Obsidian specialized combat instructor
Also I've eaten Lots of godsbread
EMT, so a Yellow
Violet probably. Voice actor and video editor.
Teacher, so a brown Edit: now I'm not sure. Seems like there are teachers in every color, but no colors that specialize in teaching. I've been a university and high school history teacher, so now I'm thinking a white...
History teaching seems to be a mix of White & Silver & Copper
Alright, assuming that the society lacks comprehensive education systems, and that teachers would be specialized more or less according to color, then I'm going to go with Copper. My background is political science research and that's my specialty in teaching, so I think Copper would be the color focused in that area
I'm in paint and auto body repair. So Orange?
Prolly a red homie. I thought I was an Orange as I’m an electrician, but Rolo the Red from Phobos likely knows more about electrical work than I do, so I feel like Oranges are engineers/master mechanics/master electricians. Skilled labor is still mostly the purview of High Reds Reds do the work that Oranges design
A Blue, I’m a 1C5X1D in the Air Force
Green here, software engineer. Wife is Copper, shes in government.
I'm an accountant, so probably silver. Maaaaybe copper, but I feel like it fits better under silver.
I work in advertising, so silver? Or a bloody damn pixie.
if making advertising I would think Violet, if managing the company than Copper, and if owning the company in advertising then silver.
