So this is a tad random but I was thinking about this yesterday. Are there particular colours that you associate better with certain books in the series then with others? Conversely, are there certain books that you associate with certain colours? If you had to pick a colour for each book, what would you choose? Would you use the same colour for multiple books and is there a reason for that?

Reasoning if you want to back up your choices (DoD forum so spoilers are fine) and feel free to discuss/constructively criticize.

Hmm. Well the colours of the old covers I own are sort of imprinted in my mind.

TTH is green

RG is Orange

BH is brown

MT is purple.

HOC is Midnight Blue

MOI I'm not sure

DG is Yellow like sand

GOTM is sort of rainbow colored because of that magical wave thing.

Same with me. The colours I associate with the books are the predominate ones on the UK covers.

Also,
RotCG = crimson
NoK = dark green

Yeah, I think covers probably tend to have a big impact on this, which then makes it complex because there are so many very different covers. For myself I think the words in the title have a lot of influence, ie Midnight Tides: Midnight = dark and tides = water = blue so I think a dark blue.

Mine:

GotM - Greenish/blue, turquoise I guess
DG - Golden Orange
MoI - Green
HoC - Purple
MT - Blue
BH - Dark Orange or Red
RG - Aqua/Indigo/some light blue
TtH - Green
DoD - pink and blue combo

RotCG - Magenta or Black
NoK - Black and Red together (but neither by itself)
SW - already thinking of this as dark grey

LLE - Yellow
BF - not sure
tHD - not sure

I think I have some sort of Genebackis = green, too, obviously. The Darujhistan novel already looks green in my head...

[Ulrik]

GotM - Black or Midnight blue
DG -  Sand yellow
MoI - grey and icy blue


HoC -  red and dark blue (damn, too much blue already:))
MT -  violet (chained by cover...)
BH -  Brown and white
RG -  gold (Rhulad´s "skin")
TtH - Green
DoD -  Ivory white (dunno why, but Im sure)

RotCG - Gold and crimson (surprisingly)
NoK - Black and green (another cover spell)
