    Samurai's Sen Colors Are Wrong

    So a minor-yet-surprisingly-prominent issue I have always had with Samurai:

    The colors in the Sen Gauge and Meikyo Shisui are wrong, or at least not as right as they could be.

    The concept of Setsugekka is a season-color motif, representing how tints of white change throughout the seasons: Moon = yellow-white of autumn; Snow = blue-white of winter; Flower = pink-white of spring.

    Most of Samurai's skills reflect these, particularly the skills of each "element" (Gekko, Yukikaze, Kasha), and the elements combined (Midare Setsugekka). The new tri-sword skill also emphasizes the correct color motif even more.

    Yet despite all of this the colors in the Sen Gauge have never matched the actual color motif the job was designed around. Moon is blue and snow is green.

    This honestly makes the job low-key irritating to play because even though most of the skills feel totally appropriate to the job's inspiration, the one thing that pulls me out of the fantasy is the one feature that I have to look at all the time.

    I wish they would just change it. I don't know why they went with the design choice in the first place and my OCD is super triggered by it.
