Are these thought out?

 

 

 

Ever stopped and thought, are skillcape colours related to their skill, theres some that i cant really think are but some do.

 

 

 

Mining - Rock colour, Trim = Rune ore colour.

 

Slayer - Death colour, Trim = Blood.

 

Woodcutting - Tree colour, Triim = Leaf.

 

Thieving - Purple - Represents wealth, Trim = Stealth?

 

Farming - Organic/natural, Trim = Same

 

Firemaking - Flames?

 

 

 

Although some don't add up like some of the combat ones, but ARE the skill capes thought out?

I think some of them are, yes. Some just seem to be random.

I'd defiantly say the Skill Cape colors were not just picked out of nowhere.

 

You're right they do have something to do with the skill.

 

My ranged cape colors (green and orange) don't have a strong connection with the skill, but then again, the colors feel so right with the skill. (probably because they match Rnager Boots and Robin Hood Hat colors.

i really wish that attack trim would be something other than gold.

 

 

 

it looks really cheesy with red for the base color.

 

 

 

something menacing like black :)

99 cook means im rich then?! <3:

Red and black is used and abused... gold and red looks great especially with gilded. Anyways, yeah most skillcape colours have some thought put in them. But there are a lot of green ones:

 

Strength

 

Range

 

Fletch

 

Herblore

 

Farming

My only cape is Defence, which is pale blue. I have no idea why. I guess with something like Construction, you'd want warm and opulent colours, whereas defence is more a conceptual thing. The best I can come up with is that the Australian police uniform is a mixture of blue and white, and they're defenders of the people, if you will... Yeah, it's a stretch. :roll:

i dont know if any of you have taken art, but i literally just noticed that the strength cape (t) has complimentary colors of red and green which makes it stand out. I will check and see if any more capes have complimentary colors =]

 

 

 

Complimentary colors: Two colors on the color wheel which show oppisite shades.

 

Ex:Red and green (strength cape(t)); Purple and yellow (nothing =p)

The red and green on strength capes always looked kinda stupid to me. Like Christmas.

 

 

 

But yeah, I'm guessing that most of the skillcape colours have to do with their skills... makes sense.

I'm sure some of them are thought out, Firemaking for one is a great example. Okay maybe not that great since it's almost common sense to have a firemaking cape those colors but others like Woodcutting, Farming, Mining and some others that you listed were probably thought out. I just wish they'd thought a bit more for some of the capes, I just hate the Cooking and Strength colors.

Trimmed strength cape doesn't look good at all. Trimmed attack does though.

Fishing: Blue colour of water, gold, colour of what you make when doing it.

Thieving - Purple - Represents wealth, Trim = Stealth?

Yeah, some are thought out but some are just random for shure

 

 

 

purple is actually a symbol of royalty...so perhaps it means you can make food fit for kings? just a thought

yeah i got confused on first post it does represent royalty, because only they could afford purple dye

Exactly what I was thinking. <3:

 

 

 

I do think a good few of them are thought out, but some seem to be just random.

 

 

 

Fletching? :wall:

I can't think of many for myself, although I would have thought with this they would have made the sheild fit the cape and not vice versa. :-)

Strength is easy to figure out. Eat your spinage (green) then you are as strong as Pop-eye and ketcup (red trim) for those you don't eat their greens :twisted:

 

 

 

Ok, immature moment :roll:

I'm just wondering how mage becomes blue. White and black makes sense, like white mages and black mages, but aqua ones? :thumbdown: The woodcutting one matches almost completely as compared to the fletching one. Where do you see yellow arrows or green feathers? D:
