Neptune

 

Neptune is associated with hex #85accb. It is the third most-commonly used metallic color in Super Sentai and Power Rangers, after Silver and Gold. Most often it is used denote certain 'special' items. There has so far been one "Neptune"-colored Ranger. The name "Neptune" is used in metallic paint stock in brands such as RJ London and Bosny[1] It is a metallic blue with a grayish tone. It is used on the following:

Orange

 

Orange is associated with the call word darkorange. However, typically, in Japan most people simply consider it a shade of yellow. Tigers, for example, are considered black and "yellow". Battle Cossack for example, is usually grouped among Yellow Rangers. It was first used as its own color by Akira Nijino, ToQ 6gou.

Crimson

 

Crimson is associated with the call words darkred or maroon, as crimson calls a darker shade of pink. Crimson is typically used for higher-level or alternative red heroes. It first came into widespread use with the appearance of Hunter Bradley, called the "Crimson Ranger". It also refers to the more metallic red of Wolzard Fire/Leanbow.

Navy

 

Navy is associated withe the call words darkblue or navy. Navy is typically used for higher-level or alternative blue heroes. It first came into widespread use with the appearance of Blake Bradley, called the "Navy Ranger", and later came into use in Sentai with Dai-kun, Kyoryu Navy.

Purple/Violet

 

While actually two different shades of the same color, mainstream use equates them both as simply a mix of red and blue. In Super Sentai, however, "violet" is the common term while in Power Rangers, it is "purple". It is commonly associated with the call word purple in wiki usage, as "violet" tend to be a pastel color close to lilac. It was first used as a Ranger (debatable as his status may be) by Wolzard/Koragg before becoming a protagonist color associated with both male and female colors in Kyoryu Violet's two identities.

Gray

 

Gray is associated with the call word gray.

Brown

 

Brown is associated with the call word saddlebrown. While the call word "brown" is also available, it is typically too plain for web usage.

Colors on Labels

As Core Rangers have more standardized suits, only black or white against the color background is typically needed. However, for Rangers that feature a different-colored accent for their suits, a secondary color can be used instead, similar to that of the Kamen RidersIcon-crosswiki on Kamen Rider WikiIcon-crosswiki. As such, should a secondary color be needed, readability is a MUST; if the text cannot be read easily with its current color, either an alternate shade or the standard black/white must be used instead.

Notable examples include, but are not limited to...

Instead of... Use...
Purple Darkviolet
Blue #0066FF
Green #00AF33
#CFB53B Gold
Hotpink Deeppink
Yellow #C3BC0A

Gradients

As Ranger suits are typically only one color, gradients should rarely be used if at all. The only times gradients are used are for the infoboxes of Power Rangers with multiple different-colored power sets (i.e. Jason Lee Scott, Tommy Oliver, etc.) or for multi-colored Rangers (i.e. the Go-On Wings hybrid, Gokai Christmas, ToQ 1gou of the Rainbow, Zyuoh The World, Lupin Tricolor, and Patren Ugou).

Examples:

On series articles:
{|
|style="background:red; color:white"|Go-On Red
|[[Sosuke Esumi]]
|-
|style="background:red; color:white"|Zyuoh Eagle
|[[Yamato Kazakiri]]
|}

With Gradient Usage
{|
|style="{{linear-gradient|left|#CFB53B, silver}}; color:black"|Go-On Wings
|[[Gai Ikari]]
|-
|style="{{linear-gradient|left|#FFBF00, black, silver}}; color:white"|Zyuoh The World
|[[Misao Mondou]]
|}

HTML div tag for Infobox headers:
<div style="{{linear-gradient|left|red, black}}; color:white">Jason Lee Scott</div>
