Star Wars Color Theory

As I was preparing an upcoming post, I started wondering which characters in the Saga wore colors beyond earthtones, black, white, or shades of gray. I started leafing through my Visual Dictionaries and several hours later I had created the following rainbow of characters. These are presented in chronological order within each color band, and as we cans see, Trisha Biggar’s costumes for the Prequels are FAR more colorful than those of the Galactic Civil War period. If I do a third collection for all the blacks, whites, grays, and earthtone characters, I’m sure there will be many more OT characters represented.

I was very surprised to see that the opposite ends of the spectrum seemed to be the best represented…I definitely did not expect to see so many reds or purples!
In our first ‘anti-Galactic Style Guide‘ entry in two weeks, we’ll be focusing on what kinds of colors help contribute to an authentic GFFA outfit….notice anything from our sample selection?

Naturally, I’m sure there are some folks I’ve missed, so let me know who I’ve left out and I can see about adding them in. See you next week!

Researching, compiling, and writing this site takes a lot of time and energy. If you’ve enjoyed reading, have learned something from this post, or will use it as inspiration for a future costume, please consider supporting my work with a small donation below! Thank you!
