Darth Smaug Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Did you not realize that Mace's saber isn't purple but actually pink? This is purple and this is pink...Notice the difference? Mace actually has a pink saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aash Li Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 If you want to get technical, the first pic is lavender, and Mace's saber is magenta. Magenta isnt really pink, its a mix of purple and pink. ...soo says the art-girl. But anyway, so what if Mace's saber colour is magenta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soogz Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I also am going to have to say magenta, its like a lighter purple but a darker red. (Catch my drift?) lol. So Magenta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Smaug Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Ok Magenta..Didn't know it was a color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 So half of his saber is Royal, and as for the other half maybe Mace has Issues....... Hmm better stop discussing this, it seems to be easily applied to recent threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Smaug Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Mace asked for a purple saber,maybe George Lucas thought that would be the best lightsaber purple.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Devon Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 That is definitely not pink. In fact, that's not a very good picture. Mace Windu's lightsaber looks quite far from pink in the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Smaug Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 Maybe,but it doesn't look very purple too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdKnightR Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Actually, guys, magenta is the purest red. Notice that it is the red color used in your inkjet printer? As for Mace's saber color....If you notice in ROTS, when he is pointing it directly at Palpatine's face, it really resembles the color combination of Darkkender's Guardian of the Force saber mod, but when he first ignites it in AOTC, it goes from purple to blue depending on the colors in the background. A lot of color theory is based on how one color reacts with another. For instance, have you ever noticed that a green lightsaber is even more intense when it crosses a red one and vice versa?

Hmm, unless my monitor is horribly misconfigured Magenta looks like a bright pink-ish color to me rather than pure red. In response to below post: Ad hominem is not nice and uncalled for.

AFAIK it's crimson that's pure red. Crimson is also "pink-ish" as you put it. Actually a little more purple. FYI, pink is a red hue.

RevanA4 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 for one thing RED is used in ink jet printers um it is a primary color da and true purple has as much red as it does blue what does it matter anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, check your printer. If it is like most printers, it uses CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevanA4 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 art ack *runs and hides* um to me color is a mix of 3 values and nothing more I've got a progam that will run through every color possible IE to me white = (255,255,255) or (FF,FF,FF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patomon5 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 My 0.02 cents: The first picture(the female Jedi) is definately the color purple(dark red + dark blue in equal portions) where as Mace's picture I see as violet (medium red+dark blue equal portions), not pink. I think, the reason the color of Mace's saber has been called purple is because violet is too flowery a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorden Darkblade Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I think that Mace is violet or pink. And Mara has the purple saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Smaug Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Yes,but there weren't any movies about Mara Jade,in the movies Mace said can i have a purple one.Lucas gave a color what he thinks that should be a lightsaber color purple.

Smilodon Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Based on the close shots in Ep III when he fights Palpatine I thought it was pretty obvious that Mace had a violet lightsaber. Anyway it's darker than the "violet" sabers in KOTOR (these would fit magenta) but a bit lighter than Mara Jade's. Imho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Smaug Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Yeah it's true it's magenta or violet but he asked for a purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patomon5 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Perhaps it is a technical problem for the FX team to make the saber exactly the color purple, since the colors of lightsabers other than red and green are primarely translucent. That translucency in mace's saber lightens the color purple to more of a violet, or redder hue. not exactly the color purple but close enough for Sam Jackson's ego.

Jackson requested from Lucas that his only stipulation for being in the movies was that he wanted a different coloured light saber from other jedi. Jackson picked that color shade of purple because it is his personal favorite color. Ki Adi Mundi was actually slated to have a purple saber but was changed for Jackson. At least that's what Jackson said AND yep Magenta is indeed a color (one of the 4 standard in printing any type of color work) CMYK Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black.
