Blood Hue

The Basics

Blood color is determined using the HSB color model and results in a hexcode. HSB consists of three different factors: Hue, Saturation, and Brightness. Non-mutant HSB numbers must be: H = ≤330; S = ≥40; B = 80-30.

Anything outside of this standard blood color range is considered a mutant.

The Breakdown

Hue

Hue determines blood caste. A non-mutated blood color will fall within these caste classifications:

• 0-25 Rust
• 26-45 Bronze
• 46-65 Gold
• 66-85 Lime
• 86-120 Olive
• 121-150 Jade
• 151-190 Teal
• 191-225 Blue
• 226-270 Indigo
• 271-295 Purple
• 296-310 Violet
• 311-330 Fuschia

Saturation

Saturation determines the intensity, or “purity” of the color. The idea of purity based on blood color saturation has long been stripped of the modern Alternian culture because we’re a bit more advanced than that, hah. A non-mutated blood saturation level must be 40 or above.

Brightness

Brightness is, as you’d expect, how bright a color is. A lower value is darker, a higher value is lighter. A non-mutated brightness level must fall between, or be equal to, 80 to 30.
