With a friend were talking about the motives of class color but some are not good for the class ,the brown for Warriors? Yellow for rogues, Pink for paladins(this is more of a joke of Blizzard) Orange for druids?.
The green for hunter is ok as well as white for priest ,or light blue for mages, purple for locks.
Warriors need to be red ones ,rogues the blacks paladins yellow or Golden. mages the Pink for the arcane is that color .
What.

I think that the colors behind the classes are arbitrary. There isn’t really any lore reason.
What the dwarf said.
Unlike you though, op, i like what Blizz chose.
Or subtle commentary. Pink as a color doesn’t actually exist. If you look at the spectrum of color you’re not likely to find it. It’s a quirk of the human eye. No doubt choosing pink for Paladins could be a way of saying Paladins don’t exist, they’re just priests in plate.
But yeah, the color pink not existing is always an interesting topic. You mix red and white, you get pink. You mix any other color and white, you get the light version of that color. Blue and white? Light blue. We don’t get light red with white and red.
I doubt entirely that there’s any kind of lore implications behind it, and if there were, they wouldn’t be heavy enough to be picked up without any kind of direct Word of God.
I often see this for magic but this is a weird one. I don’t really know if any classes really go with any colour other than I guess colour theory??
Can someone tell me if each class correlate with what the colours are associated with?
The “class colors” are nothing beyond a gameplay raid and chat mechanic.
Oranges are orange. Oranges are fruit. Fruit is a seed dispersal reproduction strategy for plants. Plants are druid-y. Druids are orange.
Purple is a dark color. Like shadows. Which are evil. Like warlocks.
It doesn’t exist as a single wavelength, but I don’t think I’d say that means it doesn’t exist. But really, all color is just the brain’s interpretation of wavelengths, as far as I understand it. Not some intrinsic aspect of the wavelength.
Anyway, Paladin Pink is the only weird one to me. Rogues with energy Yellow, Warriors with an earthy Brown. I don’t know, feels right (might just be from being used to most of them).
I like the thought that you put into this but unfortunately I don’t think there is any lore behind the colors. If there was I think some would be different. Paladins would be gold, druid forest green, etc. Although I don’t mind the orange for druids.
I’ll do you one better, OP!
Why is Gamora?! Wait, what? No, wait, no. I mean, what is the lore behind green for guild chat, blue for party chat, and orange for raid, and all those other chat colors?
The colors are chosen for easy reading in crowded raid channels so that you know who is piping up and which of their class failings you should be drilling them on.
Warlocks were the Purple Class. Then Demon Hunters felt like being even more Purple. Maybe the Purple Class color is for those who commit to the fel. A lighter purple for those who simply wield it, and a darker purple for those who are of it. (Kidding, of course)
I would have liked Rogue to be Gray or Black. Yellow? Feh. I think Yellow would have been better for Paladins. I am not sure how Pink relates to Paladins other than as a joke by Blizzard.
Brown is good for Warriors. I can’t put my finger exactly on why, but it works.
