Does square enix hate purple?

[Morningstar1337]

Wikipedia gives a few different colour examples for shades of indigo - Abyssal Blue is what I would otherwise call "electric purple" and the article labels as "electric indigo". FFXIV's Midnight Blue seems to be "web-colour indigo". ("Indigo dye" is the colour I normally associate with indigo, as that's what it's used for in Derwent pencils which were my main source of learning fancy colour-words!)

I'll consider Midnight Blue then, thanks.

(Does anyone really like vanilla yellow? It looks like a very hard-to-use colour and I've never needed to match anything like it - unless maybe it does interesting things with metallics.)

Vanilla Yellow is weird, the other 5 Dyes are both saturated and include a color is adjacent it to but could be its own color entirely. But this one is a pastel/off-white color, more akin to the GP-Pastel dyes or the likes of Celeste Green or Cobiri Pink

While that's true all the colors added were all to ones that have almost 2 full list on them already

TBF those are the primary colors. And There is now a proper Pink dyein the game (which is in the reds) and an awesome cyan dye (whetherornot that counts as "blue" seems to be up to player preference)
