History Main / GravityIsPurple

* In ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'', purple is the primary color of Matoran, Toa, and Turaga of Gravity. However, the most notable gravity-manipulator in the franchise (that is to say, the only one to appear outside of [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary]] [[ExpandedUniverse materials]] and the only one to appear as [[MerchandiseDriven an actual toy]]), Nuhvok-Kal, is black and silver.

* ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'': Gravity Man's... well, gravity, is shown colored purple and dark blue in at least [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/d/d5/Gravityman.png/revision/latest?cb=20100929004802 one official artwork]]. Likewise, the weapon you get from him - Gravity Hold - gives Mega Man a purple and white scheme.

As far as East Asian media is concerned, it's often purple. Is it because [[PurpleIsPowerful gravity is powerful]]? Or maybe [[MysteriousPurple mysterious?]] After all, purple is viewed as a "space" color, despite outer space being mostly black (but then again, PurpleIsTheNewBlack). In Western media, gravity tends to have more diverse coloring (assuming it even has color in the first place), with purple occasionally showing up as well.

* ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'': The main ship is equipped with an artificial gravity generator. When switched on, it releases purple air waves.

The answer, as far as East Asian media is concerned, appears to be purple most of the time. The logic for this one doesn't appear to be very obvious at first.

Gravity, when depicted as an [[ElementalPowers element]], tends to be quite tough to visually represent in media, what with it being an invisible force and all. Well, [[BlowYouAway wind]] has a similar problem with being colorless, but people from Asia decided to just depict it as [[WindIsGreen green]] at some point. Maybe they also came with a solution for this? What kind of color would they use to represent gravity?

The answer appears to be purple most of the time. This color does appear to be very popular to associate gravity with in East Asian media.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', every gravity- and graviton-based attack is black with purple highlights. This is also true concerning their [[UnrealisticBlackHole black hole]] attacks, strange enough.

* In ''VideoGame/EldenRing'', many of the game's gravity-based spells have a purple hue to them.
