I don’t believe for a second that a queen so disliked would live this long lol. Anyone have novel spoilers?

As an artist, I feel obliged to point out that blue is not the opposite of red. Green is the opposite of red. Blue is the opposite of orange.

For some reason, the art style of this work made me think there would be a slight edge to it. Glad to see I wasn’t wrong

@icekatze As a scientist, I feel obliged to point out that blue is not completely the opposite of red. Violet is the opposite of red in reference to it's wavelength.

@AnimePewdz
I apologize in advance, but I love color theory and science!

When talking about colors, there are a lot of colors in the human perception that don't even have corresponding wavelengths, like magenta, and opposites usually refer to the colors that mix together to neutralize each other.

If we're talking wavelengths, then there's no circle at all, just a single value representing length. On the short end, Planck length might create a hard limit, but as far as I know there's no hard limit on the long end. Some long shot hypotheses regarding dark matter involve particles with wavelengths that measure in light-years, which would (understandably) be difficult to directly measure, and there are some hypothetical mechanisms that could create wavelengths as long as the length of the entire universe. Although we have no way to measure how long that is, since we're limited to the visible universe. But in that case opposites would be Planck and Entire Universe.

You could also go with blackbody color temperatures and have black and blue be opposites.

Presumably the queen has some competence as a ruler, or she has people who do; even tyrants can last for years in the right conditions. All the same, I don't think the manga is going to go in depth with the politics, so it's unlikely to be explained properly.

@icekatze No worries there! I didn't know that much about color theory so I learned something new. :)
