Official DAVID(WE) political Color ---------------------------------- Light-purple. Combines with white. Combines with yellow (trim.) It seems that the obvious place to define the color is from the Constitutional flag, unfortunately it is white + red. To call it pink would presumably be too far of a stretch (white + red is light-red when mixed, which is another word for pink). The next obvious place is the 'large seal' (cup shape symbol, featuring DAVID star and keyboard + broomstick play on nobility 'weapons'). Since "the people" in this symbol are the light purple vessel of the cup, while the keyboard + broomstick and DAVID star represent the virtues and system respectively held by these people, light purple would be a logical choice. This also squares with how the symbol is build up from a transformed pyramid + reversed bull/Omega. To use the yellow of the Omega may denote 'Democracy' in the seal, however it comes from the (most) oppressed in the untransformed pyramid/bull symbol, which once transformed becomes the golden rim of the cup, and this may therefore refer to a minority group. By using yellow one might be using a symbol for a virtuous minority, and that is not the proposed system [the system of choosing the most virtuous leaders to rule by virtue almost like a parent over children is a model used by both socialists ('elect the best communists') and by many religions; however the proposed system is not to elect the most virtuous (persé), but to elect regular and all people, to truly reflect the people in the state and democracy, which is the purple part of the symbol.] Politically red = socialist and blue = liberal, the color purple being both (mixing red with blue yields purple) would seem right (and is the reason I made that cup purple to begin with, if memory serves correctly). The proposed system seems both more liberal then what any liberal movement has suggested, certainly in practice, and it is also fully with the labor class and against the bourgeois class of capitalists thus firmly red. It is ideologically purple and in terms of class it is labor red, to the point of removing the existence of a bourgeois class (capital manipulators and bosses/owners of large corporations, unmistakably red/socialist at the core). However the proposed system does not line up with either marxists (red) who want a total-plan economy without specifying much or anything, or social-democrats who usually only want to soften capitalism. You could say it is a worked out left-anarchists black/red system, but anarchists neither specify what they want and tend to be anti-law, which this system is extremely not (it's pro law, law is everything to it, without law it is more or less nothing). To choose red is to overlap too much with the socialists perhaps, who seen from the DAVID system have put too much exclusive emphasis on the brotherhood ideal to the detriment of the freedom and equality ideals. White is the color of peace, from the white flag carried by two heralds from two armies meeting to discuss a peace treaty before or after the fight. White is then the color of unarmed talk, talk about peace, and since it may usually be a bargained talk (both have a position of power, both have a grievance or goal), it is a talk about future policy, political decision, both have something to trade (when the talk is in front of massed armies). When the talk (white) breaks down, war results. In the sense of the white surrender flag, it is a flag which says we yield to the stronger party and choose to live rather then fight to the death, and in return of not killing more on both sides we surrender in the expectation (negotiated agreement) not to be killed ourselves. This is the typical meaning of the white surrender flag. When that flag is dishonered by the winning party, they may face a fight to the death against all, thus even in defeat the white flag is in a position of bargaining power. This is a beautiful thing. Obviously the goal of the DAVID system is to achieve peace worldwide in military and territorial affairs, this should be evident from the proposed Constitution. When mixing white and purple the result is light purple (duh). :) The DAVID star contains too many colors in the center to make out one color. Its tips are white, therefore we might conclude it is a white star. Purple of socialist + liberal (which is *not* the red of the labor class and a color from the bourgeois class, it is both colors for labor), combined with that white would yield light-purple. The tips of that DAVID star also refer to a centralized democracy (see elsewhere), thus this is fitting with the white color of peace. I have seen a Haudenosaunee flag which was purple and white. The color 'purple' stood for 'wisdom' in older days for what I know, because it was hard to fabricate a good purple dye (?). The DAVID system proposed is absolutely the result of a lot of thinking and drawing logical conclusions, thinking is the method it is arrived at, and it is all in all not simple at all. It is a very big and complicated 'ideology' (perhaps larger then any other). I don't see many reasons to choose other colors. Yellow for the rim of the cup ? But why is that yellow, or gold, it could be other colors. Doesn't have much to it ? White in the top (with a white feather) is also the color of the Constitutional peace flag in default form. Orange isn't featured, gold is the 'state of chaos' banner and as such not that appealing in the system. Blue may be liberal but liberal is an excessive focus on the freedom ideal at the cost of equality and brotherhood. Green is environmental and although that is one of the most important issues, the system as such is hardly about the environment. Blue may be the color of the sky, but brown is the color of soil, why choose either. Black is not featured much in the system. In the large cup seal it is not that positive (color of crime or the fighting animal kingdom), it is the color of reform and 'we don't have the power yet to foment real change' for DAVIDWE armband inside the capitalist model. Grey ? Not featured. Turquois, it may be a beautiful color but it's not featured anywhere. Therefore it seems best to choose as the main color: light-purple, or purple + white. A benefit is that light-purple is not used much. Official color: light-purple (purple + white). Unofficial color: red (labor class socialist, solidarity), + white (red + white is also the color of a revolutionary majority in this system (for DAVIDWE)). The color purple + white evokes a little bit of a detached atmosphere good for calm and thought. Another combination would be: purple + white + yellow/gold, the upper colors of the cup seal. The yellow from the council fire, making the cold purple/white warm again. Light-purple. Combines with white and yellow (gold). My teapot here is light purple/pinkish with a yellow trim at the top and some white parts, it seems these colors go well together.
