MAGIC THE GATHERING COLOR PHILOSOPHIES

• White: peace
• Black: power
• Green: growth
• Red: freedom
• Blue: perfection

WHITE

White seeks peace through order. It is the color of morality, laws, military, and religion. It is also the color of dogma, judgement, and war

In a white society, there are strict rules and swift and brutal punishments. The individual is expected to make sacrifices for the good of all. White sees itself as righteous and views its enemies as corrupt and evil

BLACK

Black is the color of selfishness. Black wants to do what it wants when it wants, and because of that power is the most important thing to black. Black is also the color of greed, deception, and ambition. Black also has a close relationship with knowledge, seeking to gain it and deny it to others.

In a black society it's everyone for themselves. The strong rule the weak and the weak plot against the strong; and everyone watches their back. Black is not the color of "evil", but amorality. Black denies there is a higher moral code, and instead lives by the policy of might makes right.

GREEN

Greens goal is growth. Greens best way to accomplish this is to accept things the way they are and adapt to the system. This is why green loves nature and hates unnatural change, because that changes the system they have adapted to. Green is the color of harmony, nature, evolution, and the cycle of life and death

In a green society humans would work with the natural way instead of try and change it. Technology that hurts the environment would be violently opposed. Each human would understand there place both in society and in the natural order, and seek to grow both. A green society would want to be as big as possible, expecting the natural order to keep things in balance.

RED

Red seeks freedom through action. It is the color of passion, emotion, and instinct. Red follows "The best defense is a good offense". Red uses instinct to defeat opponents while they are still planning.

In a red society freedom is the most important thing. Any threats to ones freedoms would be met with anger and resistance. The Arts and emotions would hold priority over science and logic

BLUE

Blue seeks improvement and uses knowledge to achieve this goal. Blue is the color of information, technology, contemplation, control, and patience. Blue waits till it knows all the variables before it makes a move.

In a blue society the goal is to create a society that is as perfect as possible. Science would be held in the highest esteem and patience would be the greatest virtue. Decisions made solely on emotion would be intolerable.
