What color is fantasy?

When you think of fantasy (the genre), what color is it and why? Is there more than one color?

what about: Mystery? Science Fiction? Horror? Military fiction? Historical fiction?

What other genres do you read and what colors are they?

Hmmm, I have to say off the cuff, rainbow color because fantasy is myriad in definition and possibilities.

Just to name a few genre I read, and the color I associate with them:

Travel books : blue (I always associate blue with liberating feeling) Biography: brown (I think because I associate the color brown with familiarity) Philosophy: white (When I think of Philosophy, I think of clearing your mind for different perspectives)

Thought provoking post, ex. :)

Books? I know this one...When I read "PUSH" everything was RED, that was a novel, not sure what genre it fell under, but I think whats more important is how I felt reading it...I was ANGRY throughout, pissed at everyone that hurt precious jones.

when I read Letters to Penthouse...its all purple, *dont know why just it : P ...that one would be fantasy.

When I read "NIGHT" and "THE ROAD", it was all gray...those were sad too and dark feeling. they made me cry.

Everything had a pink color to it in "TENDING ROSES"..idk why....

interesting that I cant read in multiple colors : P

Famtasy.. it's .. purple. I think of purple as a.. sort of... magical esk colour? I dunno :P

Scince-fiction type deal I think of green, or a grayish colour. Both can kind of be like a metal, and when I think science fiction I think weird out of the reality robots and vehicles and such.

.. Books I really like are red.. cause red is my favorite colour :)

Interesting note - When the Japanese invaded Okinawa in 1672, they took away anything with a blade - even kitchen knives. Some found they could defend themselves using a threshing implement called a nunchuku. Which is why you find nunchuku today in read the rest
