i think over break i’mk gonna do a lot of CMY2K reworking cuz all my docs have been in desperate need of cleanup for a while but there’s also just so goddamn many extraneous characters that either serve no real important purpose or i have been struggling to Find a purpose for and they’re just kinda dead weight that make writing harder, especially since i want to undo any contributions my ex may have inadvertently made including i have to come up with a new robot father figure for hibiki character…. there’s a whole lotta convoluted shit and tangled wires i need to fix on all my CMY2K planning before i can feel totally confortable starting work on a pilot. like nemo hasn’t felt like he works 100% seamlessly in the story since 2019 but i still like him as a character, he just doesn’t really work thematically in CMY2K unless i Really try to squeeze him in….maybe i’ll save him for some other project cuz he is a really fun character it’s just for CMY2K his only real purpose is sometimes lying to hibiki and giving betsy a human to satellite, but i could even just rewrite some shit to put betsy in charge of babysitting cain and it makes almost just as much sense. mostly it’s the human characters and a loooot of one-off extremely unimportant robots that need to be either reworked or cut entirely like who the fuck is aqua they have exactly zero information in my character doc

THEORY: The Colorful Core

Someone once made a very sharp insight about the CORE. It's been years and I still can't find it, but I distinctly remember a YouTube commenter pointing out these colored tube sprites in the CORE. They said they were specifically the same colors as printer ink: cyan, magenta, and yellow.

Ignorant, I looked it up.

And, um.

Yeah we can start to guess why these were thrown in with the "darknesstotems," huh.

For anyone else that wasn't aware, CMYK color model acquires the color black ("K" or "Key") by subtracting light using pigments. The pigments in question? CMY - cyan, magenta, and yellow.

This might have some implications for Deltarune.

PART 1: Photon Readings Negative

As we all know, the creator of the CORE and our "SURVEY_PROGRAM" is none other than Gaster himself. (Unless there's anyone else out there using typer value 666.)

Gaster is heavily tied to the concept of "darkness" through his infamous Entry 17 experiment.

And between the "darknesstotem" sprites in the CORE, the mercenaries emerging from the shadows, and these apparent CMYK references, we might infer that the CORE has something to do with that too.

Specifically, the "PHOTON READINGS NEGATIVE" description seems... more or less the exact function of a subtractive model like CMYK. (As far as i can figure. Not an expert, here.) This seems to further support the idea that the CMYK model may either literally or metaphorically serve some role in the "darkness" concept that was teased in Undertale, and a focal point of Deltarune.

So what does this mean? Well, as it is depicted in Deltarune so far, "darkness" seems to symbolically represent "fiction," and more diagetically, it's the source of the Dark Worlds and all Darkners within it. That seems to be the black color's meaning more or less solved for. What's unclear is how this darkness, or "K," will be produced.

(One could say... how could we "Gen" this "Key"? A "KEYGEN," in other words?)

okay that's just a quick tangent but hey spamton very much does cycle through rainbow colors okay it's not totally unrelated--

In any case. We have K solved for, so the remaining elements that would "combine" to create it are CMY. While there's not any known themes or plot elements across UTDR that would relate to the colors cyan, yellow, and magenta, there certainly are some characters...

PART 2: The CMY Trio

Did those colors look familiar?

That's right: Kris, Susie, and Noelle each have the respective CMY colors attached to them!

While Kris does have blue skin, Susie pink skin, and Noelle yellow hair, it's their HP bars that are the biggest tells.

No matter how you colorpick it, that's a cyan-magenta-yellow.

And wouldn't you know it, these three characters happen to be the ones mentioned by Gaster, pursuer of darkness, to be "VERY, VERY WONDERFUL."

But aren't we forgetting someone?

PART 3: Not Easy Being Green

Ralsei is already a character with a lot going on, and i'm not going to get into that here. Needless to say, though, there's much about him that's slightly different from Kris and Susie, and sometimes even Noelle. The green-associated Ralsei not having as definitive a place in the CMYK model is just one more space he's an odd one out in.

The counterargument here would be that Ralsei himself is meant to represent "K." That's certainly possible. He is the (or a?) prince of darkness, and is associated with black roughly as much as green. So i'm not going to discount that as much as say: if Ralsei is meant to represent darkness in such a significant way that Gaster was summoning him up in Undertale, I almost think we'll have more questions than answers. So to keep things simple for now, i'm going to assume that Ralsei's associated color is, like the others, in his HP bar.

Under that assumption, i think there's a couple places Ralsei could fit.

It's possible he could still squeeze into CMYK, being the secondary-color intersection between cyan Kris and yellow Noelle.

But since Ralsei is so different from the others, it might stand to wonder if he's not part of another model entirely. Namely...

PART 4: The RGB Trio...?

...RGB. An additive model that acquires a given color by combining colors of light. The more colors that are added, the closer it gets to white.

In other words, more or less the inverse of the CMYK model.

The existence of the RGB model may mean that Ralsei does have a place in a trio - just maybe not the one we're led to believe.

If this theory holds true, and if this model also has an associated three characters, then there are two other members of Ralsei's trio that are unaccounted for: a red character and a blue character.

Now, i'm not the kind of theorist to run through every individual candidate with a... in this case somewhat literal color swatch. Especially when it's quite possible we haven't met these other two characters yet.

But for those who want to, i would just note that red and blue are the associated colors - Noelle isn't yellow, after all, and Light World Kris doesn't have a trace of cyan. We're lucky that all four of the main cast have HP bars that are definitively certain colors. So just keep that in mind if combing through the cast.

PART 5: Mixing It All Together

Now that we've established a possible CMY trio of Kris/Susie/Noelle and explored the idea of a RGB trio of two unknown characters and Ralsei, what might it all mean?

Well, we know that CMYK is used to produce black, or in Deltarune terms, something pertaining to "darkness," while RGB is used to make (any color up to) white, and could be used to achieve something "light" related.

So it would be a simple assumption that the CMY trio has something to do with darkness or the Dark Worlds, while the RGB trio has something to do with light or the Light World.

This is interesting because Kris, Noelle, and Susie are all Lightners, while Ralsei - and perhaps his other two comrades? - are Darkners. This flips the easy correlation of Lightners with the Light World and Darkners with the Dark Worlds on its head.

But haven't we seen this before? As far as we've seen, it's only possible for a Lightner to create a Dark Fountain. Could Darkners have some special kind of interaction with the Light World in the same way?

Moreover, do the trio of Kris, Noelle, and Susie have some sort of darkness-related power or knowledge available only to them? What makes the three of them so special? Even Gaster comments on it, though he may be biased toward the subject of his research, and even that, if true, is valuable information.

If we can't figure out what exactly is special about the CMY trio yet, i'm not going to hazard guesses about a purported RGB trio which we don't even know exists. But I would assume based on their inspirations that it would be basically the inverse of whatever the CMY three have going on.

Finally, there's one last property of these models that seems noteworthy. While CMYK and RGB seem like inversions of each other, a crucial difference is that CMYK is used for print media, while RGB is used for screens. There's nothing relevant about that I can think of at the time being, but it's something worth keeping in mind for future speculation on the topic.

CONCLUSION

So, there we are! While this is "theory" is more on the broad and speculative side, I hope that these ideas are useful going forward. We know very little about the role of the CORE, but a possible link between it and darkness and three of the main cast is valuable information. And perhaps we can learn some more about Ralsei and an unknown red and blue character at some point, too.

Thanks for reading!

ETA: Oh Kenju in the artbook just outright confirms the CMYK tubes apparently.

Well done, Youtube commenter.

you've heard of rgb trio now get ready for:

CMYK squad

[kitchimera]

Crunchy CMYK Watercolor Palette:

PY184 Bismuth Yellow x PR122 Quinacridone Magenta x PG50 Cobalt Turquoise Light + PBk31 Perylene Green/Black

PY184 and PR122 are staining, while PG50 is highly granulating. I think there will be a learning curve to this palette while I learn more/feel out how to best utilize them. I love the atmospheric and neon possibilities, but I don't think it would be a great most-purpose palette as a trio.

I couldn't seem to create a dark neutral, so I brought in my favorite easy mode cool neutral PBk31 to remind myself how it acts with the base colors (in the corners). While using up some of the leftovers on a sketch (on the bad paper that I love so much) for further testing, I added PW6 (Titanium White). I find that PW6 stabilizes mixes that would normally separate/it holds granulating pigments in suspension, but that can be broken again with dilution for some interesting hazy effects. I'm still figuring out what I can do with it.

I'm still not sure this palette is worth the hassle of dealing with cobalt waste water?

[borrelia]

sonic ^ blue fur green eyes

scourge ^ green fur blue eyes so its like inverses. scourge is the anti sonic so his two colors are swapped from sonics. but with zonic too its a mix. a trio of the three because none can truly be considered an opposite of one without the other but they are also unique in their own right and cant be defined by others.

rgb pallete ^ sonic is blue, scourge is green. what primary color is missing?? red. red completes the trifecta and combining all three makes naught, cancels everything out. Super forms take the opposite colors, so super zonic would be cyan. (super scourge purple super sonic yellow)

but what about the eyes then?? would zonic also have red eyes?? no thats lame

primary color pallete ^

they say eyes r like a window to the soul so this is what rlly matters. sonics eyes are GREEN. interestly that is a secondary color rather than a primary one. represents how in the grand scheme of things he is relatively isolated in his prime zone. scourge's eyes are BLUE. a part of green, yes, but you can't call green and blue opposites either without getting some funny looks. same with yellow.

zonic sharing no colors with the other two hoggers is like how the no zone is perpendicular to the other zones. hes isolated from it all but also still very much a part of things.

ALSO Sonic seems to be the best characteristics of both Zonic and Scourge rolled into one. He has the confidence and cockiness of Scourge, but is still calculated, skilled and experienced like Zonic is. Like how green is blue and yellow together but minus the kinda ugly parts. But the three of them are still distinct beasts at the end of the day, represented by how their primary fur colors are still distinct.

someone's gonna get so mad at u for calling red a primary color or something bc Actually cmyk but i like your logic!

your info link post of cmy2k I think is the first time Ibe ever seen the name fully written out. I had always read it as like CMYK like the color set but w the 2k as a year! esp bc of like all the bright colors

or is that an intentional bit? I couldn't find u sayin anythin abt it

it IS intentional! :D CMY2K the acronym was initially a placeholder that i just thought was a fun play on CMYK + Y2K, and then i reverse engineered it into the actual full title, which i Also think is a VERY apt title cuz y'know. "cyber mind" this kid straight up goes into robot brains all the time

it started cuz the main trio have always been color coded as cyan [cain] magenta [hibiki] and yellow [tex], and i just like layered plays on words. like the story is set in acid city new jersey, too, and acid city comes from A) acid music and B) new jersey's FALSE reputation for being excessively polluted [WHICH ISN'T EVEN TRUE]. in context "acid city" keeps getting spraypainted over "welcome to jersey city" signs acid city is just jersey city

[furrysmp]

Accidentally called CMYK "mcyb" instead and now I'm Thinking abt what groups of 4 mcyts I know so I can assign them colors. Bc usually it's duos or trios but not very many groups of 4 or more really.

Point is if you have a group of 4 mcyts just lmk?
