It's logical that a near-religious sect with firm traditions would have meanings behind. It does make sense that the Jedi Order would have intense traditions about this sort of thing. Okay, breaking my thoughts on this up into three sections:
How do you all use colors in your character design and outfit choices? Do you like these ones? Is there any symbolism you use yourself when designing your Jedi outfits? I know on our server we mostly have colors meaning Enclave stuff, but there's some pretty colorful Jedi robes in the comics and concept art! Might be fun to explore. I personally don't really think the robe colors match up to the braid colors, but whatever, this is fun fanon and not by any means a required canon thing, especially since the site was working on data from 2004 and there's been more stuff since then. For example:Ī Jedi artificer, engineer, or inventor might wear black and golden yellow robes.Ī Jedi healer might wear blue and pale blue robes.Ī Jedi diplomat might wear brown and cream robes.Ī Jedi scholar might wear green and white robes. These colors may additionally be used for a Jedi's robes once they reach the rank of Knight. Grey: Neutral, used for spacers in species that don't grow hair and use beads instead or to mark years. Other beads or bands indicate individual fields of study. A red band at the bottom, given at 16 or when they become a senior padawan, signifies they are on the road to wisdom and knowledge. Standard: A yellow band at the top, given when they achieve the padawan rank, signifies new beginnings. You can see the original list in the link. I expanded it a little from the original to include more braid colors, mostly because the ones given didn't cover very many possible fields of study, so this is my personal version. I found this bit of fanon about Jedi robe and Padawan braid colors and thought I'd post it here, since it seems fun to explore and use in RP.
