Atreides should be blue, not smugglers

[OrcBro]

Idk why it's the other way around, but Atreides should 100% be Blue, not Green.
Make smugglers whatever other color - green, yellow, no one cares. But Atreides MUST be blue. Not purple. Not teal. Not any other color. Blue. Thanks.

You not the first person to say this. They chose to stay faithful the source materials, the books, in which Atreides colors are noted to be green.

I love the books, but this is just wrong

[Anapoda]

Actually, if you go by the books, Harkonnen should be blue.

Why would blue be a better color for Atreides ?
Not trying to troll, just wondering if you have a reason, other than "this is just wrong" :)

Harkonen in game are closer to the way they are depicted in TT game (ranged inf is full copy of their representation), and they are black / asphalt grey/ black in the latest movie. Can think of them as deep blue if it makes you feel better ) also they were red in previous TV series installment of Dune novels, so there's at least certain lineage to that choice of color.

Blue is a primary color. As in - Yellow, Red, Blue. All other colors are made from primary colors. Blue is air and water. Blue is life. Red is a color of blood. The color of anger.
Blue team and Red team.
Atreides and Harkonnen.
Green is a secondary color, produced by mixing Yellow and Blue. House Atreides is no secondary house and no secondary to the story. Caladan (Atreides homeworld) is a vast oceanic world. Water. Blue. House Atreides should be blue.

If you plan on looking at the game on a display, the primary colors are red, green, and blue. Yellow is a subtractive primary color, but that isn't relevant unless you plan on printing out screenshots.

All other colors are made from primary colors.

This isn't accurate, either. No set of 3 primary colors is capable of representing the full gamut of all possible colors. That's why printers use CMYK inks and not red/yellow/blue.

I'm happy that the developers of this game are using Frank Herbert's writings as the source rather than choosing random colors the way Westwood did.

Not that random, good guys are in blue, bad guys are in red, devious ones are in green. A very common choice of colors when indicating moral alignement.

Something by who always made me laugh about starcraft 2. Guess how you tell a good protoss from a evil one lol?

You guessed it, the evil one wears red.

Plot twist:
Factions have color corresponding to tech tree that plays to the biggest strength of the faction.

It's not random. RGB are primary only on displays.... and BLUE is still a primary color, even on displays. Atreides must be Blue.

Greetings!
I had the same Problem...as i Dune 2 Fan...its strange to see the Atreides in Green(Ordos),and the Smugglers in Blue(Atreides)
But in the Dune 1 Games...Atreides were Red and Harkonnens Blue...!
Easy Solution...WHY can i not CHOOSE the Colours for every Faction!?
So everyone could play with the right colours they prefer!??

I guess this would be the best - to be able to assign the color you want.

That would be cool to add that to MP with the possibility to have multiple players playing the same faction in the same game. (Atreides vs Harkonnen vs another Atreides vs Fremen for example)
