Sue Colour Spectrum

The Sue Colour Spectrum consists of colours which are impossible1 in the normal world, but common amongst Sues. Sue colours are created when a Sue either misspells a real colour or, more commonly, tries to force two or more otherwise-innocent colours to exist impossibly at the same time. They are notoriously eye-burning.

Suvian Colour Theory


It is interesting to note that the real-life 'colour' magenta (halfway between purple and red) does not actually exist in the visible spectrum. In reality, purple and red are on opposite ends of the visible spectrum and this colour is produced when the human brain (and presumably, the brains of other sentient species) tries to interpret purple and red spectrum waves at the same time. It is fully an artifact of the brain rather than existing in physical reality. This may be the source of its obnoxiousness when super-saturated&mdash;and its usage as a more mundane stand-in for urple.

Urple may be reasonably interpreted to be 'more magenta than magenta itself'&mdash;a superimaginary beyond-purple colour unable to be fully fathomed outside of the mutable realities in fiction. How this could even be possible hints to the reality-warping powers of a Mary Sue: if the Suefic insists that a colour even more magenta than magenta exists, it is forced to... and may even be a normal mental interpretation of visible-yet-unfathomable badness in fic in the way the human brain creates magenta. If a Suefic insists that blello exists, wavelengths of blue and yellow are not allowed to be interpreted as normal in the brain, and instead are separated and processed as an imaginary, normally-impossible colour blello. Such unnatural colours are not able to be mentally interpreted in a realistic setting: urple paint must contain an amount of glitter to keep its hue outside of a Suefic, and bringing any of these colours into a Reality Room may dull them into normality unless the concentration of glitter is extremely high.

All Suvian colours are colour values that the minds of all known sentient beings in the PPC cannot normally process, and seeing them on a daily basis is stressing to sanity in an almost Lovecraftian sense. The high probability of running into urple and other Suvian, inconceivable colours likely contributes to the widespread madness among agents.

Beep Blue
This bizarre colour was found by Agents July and Library in a Legend of Zelda fic. If you look at it, you start to hear beeping.

Ble
This sickly, drab shade of blello was encountered by Agents Dafydd, Neshomeh, and Alec on the mission to "Brown DragonRider of Pern," in which there were ble dragons.

Bled
Also known as 'purple's evil little sister', Bled is a combination of red and blue in a way that doesn't quite form purple. It causes migraines and especially affects people with mental disorders. The quickest way to get rid of Bled is through mashed turnip, preferably radioactive mashed turnips.

Bled is said to have originated at the International Academy of Hetalia Fanfiction in the summer prior to the school's opening. Two Staff Members are reported to have created it, but they are unavailable for comment. As of now, Bled's origins are unknown.

Bleen
A nasty combination of blue and green or black and green.

Blello
A disgusting combination of turquoise and yellow.

This was first documented in the Hogwarts Fanfiction Academy, along with wilver. Its first appearance was during the Canonquake in the first year, when the title of the fifth Harry Potter book was made known. After that, it became one of the colours of HFA. It was used during the fanwriter Quidditch matches as the colour of one team's uniform.

Crimsun
Described as "a disturbing mixture of hot pink, lime green, and orange". This is the signature colour of the Baker St Fanfiction Academy.

Dark Black
Dark black was discovered by Nathan and Ellipsia in a Harry Potter badfic. It seems to be an eldritch shade of black.

High Pink
High Pink was discovered by Aster, Lore, and Bendrick in a Dragon Age badfic, in which it was the color of a canon character's face. High pink itself is a pastel rose shade that, when looked at, smells like burning marijuana. Looking at it for too long, as the name suggests, produces a high.

Hreen
A downright confusing "hazel/green", the eye colour of a Discworld anti-Sue.

Glose
A sort of vibrant, blinding 'golden-rose'. This colour is common in Suvian-influenced sunsets.

Rolky-Mose
A vision-blurring creamy pink colour that makes all around it seem paler and fuzzier in comparison. It is a common skin colour for Sues and canon characters gettin' it on with Sues, where skin is usually described as 'milky rose'.

Urple
Basically the ugliest possible mixture of pink and purple, capable of blinding unsuspecting people. Urple is one of the colours most commonly associated with badfic, especially Mary Sues.

Urple was first mentioned in Miss Cam's Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth. In OFUM and other OFUs, urple is often used to torment unsuspecting students. There have been several incidents involving urple paint in OFUM, most notably the painting of Sauron and Morgoth's possessions, which led to the short-lived Great Morgoth/Sauron Alliance. This deed, and several others, were committed by two mysterious figures known as the Urple Bandits. The identity of these two has never been confirmed openly, but they are widely believed to be Merry and Pippin. Urple was also revealed to be the color of the obscure sixth Wizard Ragna the Urple, who had overslept and missed the boat to Middle-earth by a few millennia (much to the delight of the other five, who never really liked him).

Uburple
This super-saturated urple shade is found only in the worst of the worst of prose, and is so urple it surpasses the capabilities of normal vision and comprehension to process it. It is known to invoke extreme revulsion and frustration to the point of madness. As ultraviolet is to violet in the visible, conventional wave spectrum, uburple is to urple.

The Eye of Argon is notable for visible uburple in a formally published work.

Wilver
This is described as the ugliest possible combination of white and silver. Wilver was created at the Hogwarts Fanfiction Academy.

Real Life Sue Colours
thumb|300px|right If you're especially masochistic or have been taken hostage by your morbid curiosity, you may see many of these Sue colours and more in the music video for ATC's "I'm In Heaven" (right). Glopsnerch and sunglasses are suggested before viewing.

This video consists of various Mary Sues, Marty Stus, and several Cute Animal Friends frolicking in a Sue-world to very irritating music.

1 The above video proves this wrong. Very wrong.
