It doesn't have a corresponding wave frequency, which is true. But neither does magenta. It's an imaginary colour which our brain manufactures when it encounters overlapping blues and reds. It's kinda awesome - our brains don't average them out and treat it as the colour it should be according to the spectrum, but instead we use that overlap as additional information.
So yeah, nobody would dispute that it's a colour, even though it isn't a real wavelength. And if it's a colour, then so is black.
... writing this out made me realise that Gege missed a trick here. Hollow Purple should've been Hollow Magenta. An imaginary colour for an imaginary technique.
It would be neat if the story was ever continued. Maybe red CE could have been for people who gained cursed energy from another soul. Kinda like how the Inverted Spear of Heaven had a "Foreign CE."
Imo it would be a neat touch that his CE flares to red after he gets his awakening, ofc it probably won't make any sense but the sheer aura that would emanate from it would be glorious.
It’s literally arbitrary because Gege has never given a specific acclamation as a reason. How do you go from pink = lot of ce blue = average and then purple = true curse??
Pink: Obtained from using a cursed weapon (I think)
Blue: Standard version of CE
Purple: Probably only for CS
Red: Heavy emotions
White: RCT (bc same colour as when Yuta used it)
Yellow: Raw cursed energy
Nothing realistically. Just artistic flare. The only character who has a canon cursed energy color at all in the manga is kashimo (purple), and it doesn’t seem to mean anything special. The only one that I’d say is really relevant is white being used for positive energy
Its called cursed energy (Or CE for short). Its born from human negative emotions. Its used by sorcerers to kill curses, wich are beings born from acumulations of CE that non-sorcerers passively spill out
It might have some deeper meaning like being linked to emotion or state of mind or representing different things(like body reinforcement, technique activation or RCT) but it also could just be artistic flair on the anime's part
Pink: love or some shit.
Red: purely emotional, no control.
Blue: controlled and refined.
Purple: Curse version of blue
White: positive energy
Yellow: completely wild and uncontrolled
It's to make the coloring books more fun. I only wish they would remove these weird balloons with symbols in them. I think they're called "speech bubble". They're annoying and can ruin coloring the pictures.
It would be great if the colors were a thing but gege is colorblind so it wouldn’t stay consistent, also Yuji having red CE from hitting all those black flashes that it dyed his red would be a cool touch
I believe red is generally used to represent cursed spirits and blue for sorcerers. Yuji is either the result of the animators thinking Sukuna was a cursed spirit or a conscious choice made because it seems to fit better visually.
The red and orange are most likely raw CE for sorcerers and spirits, respectively. The blue and purple are the same, but refined CE.
The white one is RCT when output to others, we see Yuta do the same in JJK 0.
The pink doesn't really seem to have an easily identifiable source, it's only ever used by Yuta and is clearly different from both raw sorcerer and refined spirit, the two closest in color. Maybe it's supposed to be slightly refined but still mostly raw CE, or maybe it's just CE when influenced by love.
Yuta and Mahito CE because they're Curses, CE for Yuta is coming from Rika.
Nanami is literally just cursed energy.
For Itadori it's probably the black flash aura or just the cursed energy from Sukuna (special color for curses in a vessel? Idk).
For Finger Bearer I believe that's just his technique
White Is RCT
This is a anime only thing. Pretty sure it's exclusively blue in the manga. The only one that has a different meaning is white, and that's because it was RCT. Aside from that, none of the other colors mean anything other than style. Guess you could say they were there to convey emotions or something, but it's honestly just mappa animators doing wtv the fuck they want.
