        Electricity is yellow.
        Blue would be water.

        What game would actually use blue?

        Blue-white lightning icons/symbols are quite common, I would think.

        Slay the Spire comes to mind:

        Then again, there are some yellow ones, too:

            It's true.

            Rules are meant to be broken - apart from when they aren't.

            You can change any aspect of the world any way you like, but only if doing that is critical to your universe and story.

            Messing up without reason conventions that are well established is a dick move, unless the whole point of your work is to screw with people.

            Also you need to consistently break conventions once you do it or you really screw with people and make a shitty world.

              See also: video game AOE FX.

              Big glowy green area? Could be a healing aura, could be poison. Good luck!

              Purple: Magic??

              Green: Life/death??

              Red: Life/fire??

              Blue: Magic/cold??

              Honestly the only colour I don't feel uncertain about is orange, that's always bad.

              Also on the topic of health potions, a great piece of advice I once heard was that if your players are in a foreign land, remove health potions. Give them health biscuits and watch them reconcile with God.

                  Nethack (and derivatives) is pretty much the only game I know of where the health potions may or may not be red.

                  And I guess Dark Souls... It's more of an orange than a red. But maybe that's just the color of the flask. Idk what the substance inside looks like. 🤷🏻‍♂️

                      Why should your fantasy game be limited by something like "health". Whether you die should be based on vibes.

                        And yellow means, uh, holy light, or something.
                        I ain't played no Overwatch, but I all but guarantee that's what it is.

                        Idk, he's a Brazilian roller-blading sports-loving DJ...

                        I think most likely scenario is he was green and yellow based on the Brazilian flag, green means "go", and there was only one other color left for "heal", so it's yellow.

                          FFXIV the stack markers are close to orange... and long time ago it had Bard having a fire circle that damaged enemies but not allies, yet the tanks thought it was bad and would drag enemies out of it. Probably why they removed that one.

                            I think I was thinking of Mercy. But I guess her angelic yellow beam is more God's Wrath than it is Pastor Cures Your Back Pain anyway.

                                      I love the possibility of having a red/green colorblind character and having to roll to hopefully pick the right potion when they both health potion and poison in their bag.

                                        Reminds me of that overwatch character with the yellow healing aura and the green speed aura. Just why?

                                        In Overwatch, healing is consistently represented by the color yellow. Mercy's beam, Ana's darts, Moira's piss, Soldier's healyboo, etc. Making Lucio's speed aura yellow and healing aura green would be visually confusing
