DELTARUNE Color Theory... theory.
My personal interpretation of the main colors of Deltarune and what they represent, and how they combine.
Each of the primary colors is represented, with red and cyan reserved for fire and ice, motifs which repeat all over the game.
Kris and Ralsei are both characters fundamentally trapped, and are associated with stuff like Jevil, whos been locked up, the Severed Hand and the serpentine shadow. In this way, blue+green could very well represent cages or nightmares motif-wise.
Susie and Noelle are both free, capable of changing the game's story, and are heavily associated with Spamton, who tried to seek freedom and FRIEND, among all other pink and gold things, which pretty strongly associates yellow+magenta with freedom and secrets.
