Mainline SMT games don't go for any overarching colour themes. Certain entries might use some colours more than the others, but it's nowhere near the complete stylization Persona games go for.

Yeah, green would be a good color in many respects. For one, it's on the opposite side of the color wheel as red which was the theme for Persona 5. This would show that Atlus intends to continue with their work outside of the Persona 5 IP. It's also the color of luck and wealth which would set a remarkable tone for the game. It would also be a calmer tone than any other themes in the series other than Persona 3, but with all the acceptance-of-death themes in that game the cooler color did little to soothe. I personally hope Persona 6 is about "lenses" by which you view the world. Maybe the protagonists would put on special glasses to allow them to see the supernatural sides of things. Plus, there could be an option to customize the lenses with pieces of glass that would take up "slots" of the lens.

You pretty much described Persona 4 right here. They won't just repeat the themes like that.

Also, maybe they could shake things up a bit and go for a more mature cast and tone with the next game. Persona fans got older after all, and it would be a breath of fresh air allowing for different types of stories and more serious and mature subjects. But in reality, nobody knows. It will likely be another teenage cast of characters anyway.

Huh, I sure did. I still hope for something a bit more groundbreaking in the series in terms of both story and gameplay. I'm with you for more mature characters, but I do believe that a more lighthearted tone overall would serve the series better.

Green is ok. Can use blue and red as secondaries.


people who had tube TVs can understand why lol

I'd guess black & white, maybe purple or orange. Perhaps a vivid combination of colours.

Purple is respectable. I really hope it's not orange.

Yellow and red was done recently, orange would be similar to both of them. I have enough respect for the Persona devs to know they wouldn't do something like this, they clearly want each game to be VERY artistically distinct, everything from visuals to music.

Besides, they did kinda hint at the next game's colour theme being green, I thought that's where this whole thread came from. But it was a pretty long time ago now, and as we all should now video games development is an iterative process. Wouldn't be a first time major changes happen that completely change something that was once shown.

Hold up, when did they hint at it being green? I was just sharing a random thought I had. What did they do?

[Arifufu]

25th Persona anniversary promotional material. Just a lone, unused green bucket of paint and a spray can, as if still waiting for a protagonist to paint their colours on the wall like the others have done already.

If it's just a red herring, it's a damn good one.

Green would be the most logical choice after looking at previous color choices, yet I bet Atlus will return to blue, I don't know why. It's my guess.
