Representation of Colors in Super Sentai (2018)

Art by Taiko554

Red 
Red usually represents courage, sacrifice, aggression, love, negativity, passion, socialism, heat, fire, beauty, leadership, injury, danger, blood, and conservatism. The As for the Sentai Reds 2011-2018, there is a mix bag of bubbly and serious and stubborn. Alata is positive and Marvelous is firey, aggressive and stubborn. Hiromu is serious and blunt. Daigo is positive and bubbly. Right is positive and bubbly. Takaharu is serious. Yamato is positive and Lucky is bubbly and stubborn. Tsurugi is prideful, arrogant and intelligent. While Kairi and Keiichiro are both serious, Keiichiro being hot-blooded and Kairi being impulsive. Alata, Daigo, Right, Yamato and Lucky have been positive characters, always looking at the bright side. Marvelous, Hiromu, Tsurugi, and Takaharu have been serious but with a sense of humor.


Blue
Blue can represent ice, water, sky, sadness, winter, royalty, cold, calm, magic, and truth. In the English language, blue often represents the human emotion of sadness. Most of the 2000's blues are calm. The 2010's ones are no exception. Hyde is serious, calm, and sometimes sad. Joe is the serious one but can laugh at a joke. Ryuji is reasonable and cool-headed, often referred to as the big brother. Nobuharu is reliable, clumsy, shy and funny, the opposite of calmness, coldness and sadness. Haru is cautious and punctual. Yakumo is actually quick tempered but also has a cool demeanor. Sela doesn't like to lose and doesn't want to show her weakness. She is associated with water as she is a shark. Garu is short-tempered and impulsive. Tooma is the calm one. So Yakumo and Garu are short tempered while the other ones are cool and collected except for Nobuharu who is the opposite. Yakumo and Nobuharu are used for comic relief. 


Green
Green usually represents nature, growth, hope, youth, sickness, health, spring, money, and envy. In many folklores and literature, green has traditionally been used to symbolize nature and its embodied attributes, namely those of life, fertility, and rebirth. Green Rangers usually represent nature, growth, hope, youth, health, and envy. Most Green Rangers are the comic relief, stubborn one, or the decent one. Hanto, Sen, and Don are a few that represent comic relief. Most of the time when a Green Ranger has a elemental power, it is to do with nature, Magiranger had Nature and Shinkenger had to do with Wood/Forest. Don was nervous, smart and comic relief. Souji is cool and calm. Hikari is calm but opposes Right at times. Tusk is smart, sensitive and kind. Hammie is sarcastic, hyperactive and self-motivated. Sakuya is laid-back. So Sakuya, Don and Hikari are lax at times, Souji and Tusk are serious when it comes to fighting. Hammie is unique not only that she is female but she is not comedic relief in a slapstick sort of way. Most of them do represent youth. Only Tusk represents nature. Magi (GoseiGreen) and Luna (Midoninger) were only temporary rangers. Luna was bubbly and there was not much to Magi other than he died and was Hyde's friend.

Yellow
 Yellow represent sunshine, warmth, fun, happiness, warning, friendship, caution, intelligence, cowardice, love, hope, optimism, imagination, curiosity, surprise and thrill. Most Yellow Rangers are the happy-go-lucky ones. They have represented almost all the properties previously mentioned. There are some Yellow Rangers that are the opposite of happiness and optimism. Moune is strict and perfectionist, Luka is a badass and cocky about it, Yoko is impulsive and stuck up. Mio is a tomboy, Nagi is friendly, Leo is strong but has a bad temper, Spada is the put-together father figure, and Umika is carefree and playful. Nagi and Spada represent friendship. Umika and Mio represent happiness. Leo and Luka represents thrill and curiosity. Moune and Yoko represent precociousness. 

Pink 
Pink has represented girls, love, health, fairies, beauty, cuteness, and glamor. And all the Pink Rangers have in some way represented all those aspects (fairies only to a few). The majority of the Pink Rangers in Sentai had to represent feminine side, be super girly. Eri is bubbly and super cute, representing love, beauty and cuteness. Ahim De Famille is regal and polite, but not above fighting. Amy is free spirited. Kagura tells tall tales and her imagination is huge. Kasumi is a girl sharp-tongued genius. Raptor is a cute dreamer. Tsukasa is calm and collected and has a plush toy collection. Eri, Ahim, Kagura and Raptor represent the ultra feminine stereotype. While Tsukasa and Amy are feminine tomboys if that makes sense. They are masculine/tomboy but not too much, with a touch of feminity. Kasumi is somewhere in the middle. 

White
Most of the time, White represents bravery, purity, nobility, softness, emptiness, knowledge, snow, heaven, peace, life, clean, air, sunlight, surrender, clouds, frost, angels, weakness, protagonist, winter, and innocence. White Rangers have represented bravery, purity, nobility, softness, knowledge, snow, peace, life, clean, winter, and innocence since more than half have been female and half have been male. The one that represented snow and winter is Miyuki, the one that has been complete opposite is Abare Killer. Fuuka is optimistic and jolly. Amu is cute, feminine and also helpful and brave. I don't know Lucky also is counted as a White warrior but he also represents bravery, angel and light. 


Black
Black has represented darkness, secrecy, power, mystery, death, fear, antagonist, strong, chaos, evil, bad luck crime, elegance, anarchy, rebellion, non-conformity, individuality, and solidarity. Black Rangers have represented darkness, power, mystery, strength, rebellion, non-conformity, individuality, and solidarity. I don't know if DekaMaster and ZyuohtheWorld are counted as black but in some sources they are. The one in between DynaBlack and GoggleBlack is Magne Warrior from Bioman by the way. Agri of Goseiger is tough and willing to make sacrifices. He represents strength, Ian is a Lothario and a bad boy with a past. He can represent rebellion and non-conformity. Champ represents strength, mystery, and solidarity as a noble robot who wanted to find his creator's killer. ZyuOhtheWorld is a sweet kid that was brought into darkness, mystery and power. 

Gold 
A cousin to yellow (orange and brown as well BTW) is gold. While green may be the color of U.S. money gold is the color of riches and extravagance. Because gold is a precious metal, the color gold is associated with wealth and prosperity. It can also represent praise, commendation, valuable, positive, superior, outstanding, excellence, and favored person. Most Gold Rangers (save for Marigold and BeetBuster) as Sixth Rangers and are considered the best and powerful. BeetBuster/Masato is odd and playful, Utsusemimaru is seemingly cold and calm but also caring and comforting, Kinji is a naive fanboy who can hold his own. Balance is shady, energetic, and flashy. Patren X hasn't debuted as of yet, so I can't write anything yet. Kinji and Balance represent positive and favored person. The others represent value, excellence and superior. 


Silver
Silver, especially a shiny, metallic silver, is cool like gray but livelier, more playful. Silver can be sleek and modern or impart a feeling of ornate riches. Silver often symbolizes riches, just as gold does. Silver can be glamorous and distinguished. While women are seen as old, gray-haired men are seen as graceful aging. The silver-tongued is considered witty, eloquent speaker. Most Silver Rangers (except for Stag J. Beetle/StagBuster) are sixth rangers and are considered the most powerful. Patren X hasn't debuted as of yet, so I can't write anything yet. Only two Silvers have been female and two have been robots. GoseiKnight is mysterious and serious, Gai is the ultimate positive fanboy, Torin is a mentor with a sense of humor, Daigo's dad was mysterious and strong, Naga has no emotion but wants to have it and J is egoist and wants to be cool. So most of them are lively and playful, except for GoseiKnight.

Violet
Purple is associated with royalty and nobility (stemming from classical antiquity when Tyrian Purple was only affordable to the elites). A mysterious color, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality. Since there has only been one Violet/Purple warrior in both franchises, there is not much to go on. Gou/Geki Violet was hot-headed, serious and creative, he cared a lot about his little brother. Wolzard who was dark and mysterious. The original KyoryuViolet was a little flashy but also caring and strong. Yayoi is smart and reserved and has a crush on Daigo. Shou Ronpo is Ryu Commander, is like an old man who had a habit of missing the point, is goofy and doers have a serious side. While Shou Ronpo represents nobility, the Conductor/Toq7gou does not but he is mysterious at times. 

Orange 
Orange represents desire, fire, engineering, determination, compassion, endurance, and optimism. Fire is repeated from Red and Optimism is repeated from Yellow. The first orange warrior in Sentai is BattleCossack, he was good at science. DekaSwan was also good at science (engineering) but also compassionate and optimistic. Akira is no-nonsense and carefree but somewhat suicidal by his catchphrase. Bud/ZyuohBird is stalwart and mysterious. Stinger is quiet, serious and short-tempered. All of them can stand for compassion and endurance and determination. Akira and Stinger can stand for desire. 

Cyan
Cyan is a restful, calming color that symbolizes relaxation, especially that shade of cyan known as bright turquoise which can be the color of the water in lagoons in tropical countries. Cyan not only counts KyoryuCyan and Ooguma Skyblue but also Blue Swan, Blue Ninja, Hurricane Blue, MagiBlue and ZyuOh Shark. Ramirez is brave and caring. Kotaro is optimistic and impulsive. Most of them are cool and relaxed.

Grey
Gray is a cool, neutral, and balanced color. The color gray is an emotionless, moody color that is typically associated with meanings of dull, dirty, and dingy, as well as formal, conservative, and sophisticated. The color gray is a timeless and practical color that is often associated with loss or depression. Tessai represents emotionless and calmness. Shinya has to find courage. Naga/KyoryuSilver also is emotionless.

Super Sentai: Different shades of Colors 2015

Here is the third round of the colors used so far for auxiliary mecha in Sentai. All of them have different shades in their subcategories as well. Many of the auxiliary mecha have debatable colors, is it cyan or aqua or green? Power Ranger names are in italics. I guess this post isn't friendly to those who are color blind. To be clear, I am only covering auxiliary 'zords' and any mecha belonging to antagonists (like Wolzard, and Mele), not main zords of Rangers.

Orange (13)
Gao Giraffe/Giraffe Zord was more like a carrot orange, Gao Jaguar of Gao God/(not given a name) is a pale light orange with tinges of amber color (Crayola's Atomic Tangerine). It is close to peach-orange or coral but it's not. Ankyloveilus/Ankylozord was a yellow-orange or Gamboge, GoGo Drill/Drill Driver was a plain orange, maybe like Home Depot orange, Carrigator/Croczord is a vivid strong shade of orange and Kabuto Origami of Shinkenger (2009) is almost like a orange-red-y color. TyrannoHeader of Goseiger (2010) is a bright orange and one of the Exotic Brother dragon headers is a pale orange-yellow. Kabuto Headder is a dark orange with silver. Toqger (2014)'s CarCarrier Ressha and Claw Ressha are light-orange while Toq6Gou's BuildRessha is a darker orange. Dino Maru from Ninninger (2015) is a similar orange to GoGoDrill.

Different shades of Green (13)
Gao Gorrilla/Green Gorilla was a regular green, Gao Ligator/Alligator was a dark green, but the toy was just a darker shade that Gorrilla. Gao Deer/Deer was a light paler green. Trance Spider/Spider Power Sphere was a basic green, the same shade as Shurikenger/Green Samuari Ranger. Parasarokkiru/Parazord was lime green. Rin Chameleon/Chameleon was a basic green. GoGoMixer/Cement Driver was like a JohnDeer Green. GekiElephant/Elephant sure does stand out with the other greens doesn't it? I really feel it is part of the teal/cyan ones but EVERYONE, many fans, say it is green. So I put it here to show it is not really that green. I believe it is a dark teal or dark Cerulean. One of the Exotic Brother dragons of Goseiger (2010) is a toxic acid green and the Mystic Runner is a dark shade of forest green, almost the shade of the Trance Spider. Shield Ressha of Toqger (2014) is a dark green, Paonmaru from Ninninger (2015) is a similar green to Trance Spider and Mystic Runner. FS-00 from Go-Busyers (2012) is a regular green, similar to Gao Gorilla.

Periwinkle / Cyan / Teal (16)
Gao Elephant/Elephant Zord, as I mentioned before was the first to be of this unique combination of the colors blue and green. This color is the most highly debated color, is it green or blue? Gao Elephant is teal or cerulean and Gao Rhino is Colombina Blue or a mix of maya blue with cerulean. Gao Condor was like a dark cyan. Tortuise Hammer/Turtle Mace, one of the Karakuri Balls, was a Cornflower Blue. Dimenokodon/Dimetrozord was like a light teal, Go Go Shovel/Shovel Driver was cyan (brighter than periwinkle), Geki Shark/Shark Zord was aqua, K-Line/(not given a name in RPM) is light periwinkle, very pale, and Marlin Kaijiki/Swordfish Zord (Shinkenger 2009/Samurai) is a dark cyan, it is more blue than green. And as for Goseiger 2010, we got the three Seaick Brothers that are more or less the same shade of teal. The Sawshark is a bit darker and the Mantaray is brighter. And one of the Exotic Brothers is a light sea-green shade too. In Kyoruger (2013)/Dino Charge (2015), Kyoryu Cyan has a periwinkle Ankydon/Ankylo Zord. Toqger (2014) has Tank Reesha that is cyan and Ninninger (2015) has UFOmaru which is the same shade.

Indigo / Navy (12)
Whatever people might call this color, purple or blue, it is a darker shade of blue. I would consider Squid Attacker/(no name given), GoGo Crane/Crane Driver, and GekiBat/Bat Zord indigo. Gorai Stag/Navy Beetlezord is of course Navy. Jumbo-whale/Whale Zord is Royal Blue, a light navy color if that makes sense. Carnoryutus (Abaranger 2003) is a interesting shade, like a pale Ultramarine and a bit grey-ier. Goseiger (2010): Gosei Bird is indigo-cobalt blue, Sea Lion is regular blue and Gosei Dolphin is dark blue with yellow. Li-Oh of Go-Busters (2012) is highly debated if Indigo or purple. Tobaspino/Spinozord from Kyoryuger (2013)/Dino Charge (2015-2016) is navy. Drill Ressha from Toqger (2014) is also navy. 

Purple / Violet (10)
GaoHammer/Hammerhead Shark was the first purple anything in Sentai history, it was a vivid and perky shade of violet. GaoMajiro/Armadillo Zord was a lavender color, light violet. Kabuto Gani/Sting Blaster was a like a Royal Purple. Bakikeonagrus/Cephalazord is a mildly-dark violet with mixes of red or Electric Indigo. Geki Wolf/Wolf Zord was more of a purple than a violet. Violet is tangy, more pink-ish. I am covering GekiViolet/Wolf Ranger's mecha/zord because there is so little purple. Ika Origami of Shinkenger (2009) is white and lavender. One of the Exotic Brother Dragons of Goseiger (2010) is a tangy purple. Plesion/Plesiozord from Kyoryuger (2013)/Dino Charge (2015-2016) is purple with white. Toq7Gou's Ressha (2014) is briefly seen and purple re-color of Build Ressha. SurfMaru from Ninninhger (2015) is a similar purple to Kabuto Gani. 

Non-Ranger White (8)
These are auxilary zords that don't belong to White Rangers. Gao Polar/Polar Bear and Gao Panda were silverly-white. (Gao Panda only appeared as a toy and CD exclusive) Gattling Leo/Lion Laser was just plain white. Unikirion/Brightstar was plain white, maybe a bit pearl-y. T-Line/(not given a name in RPM) was like a silver-y or grey-ish white. Tora Origami of Shinekenger (2009) is white and black. Crow Header of Goseiger (2010) is white, red and silver with green eye.



Crimson / Maroon / Different shades of Red (17)
The Gao Sawshark of Gao God/(not given a name) was a violet-tinged Maroon and so was Kishamoth/Paleozord. Gorai Beetle/Crimson Insectizord was Crimson. Stegsorideon or Stegazord was Burgundy. Stryacosaurus/Mezodon Rover was like a red-orange. The ones that were just plain red was Gao Kong, Gao Falcon/Falcon, The Stamp/Super Stamp, Pitashito Hitode/Star Blazer and GogoJet/Sonic Streaker. Kyoryu Origami is like a dark crimson and the Bull Ushi Origami of Shinkenger (2009) is a shade of red like Stryacosaurus. Ushi Origami of Shinkenger is just red. Kyoryu Origami is a scarlet and maroonish color. HawkHeader of Goseiger (2010) is red, a bit deeper shade than the Dragon. GoseiSkyleon is bright red. In Toqger (2014), Diesel Ressha is maroon and Fire Ressha is bright red-orange. In Ninninger (2015), Lion Ha-Oja is just red. 

Non-Ranger Black (10)
A new shade I decided to cover. Gao Bear/Bear Zord was a pale black, GaoLeon was a Gunmetal black in Gaoranger (2001). Valkyrion/Catastros of Magiranger (2005) was black. RinLion of Gekiranger (2007) was black and gold. The three Engines of the DaiShogun of Go-Onger (2008) were black with red and yellow accents. KuwagataHeader of Goseiger (2010) is a different shade of black. Crocodile Headder is silver and black . In Toqger (2014), Police Ressha is black, white and grey.

Non-Ranger Shades of Yellow (4)
Goat Crusher/Ram Hammer of Hurricanger (2002)/Ninja Storm was just yellow. Spin Bee/Bee Spinner was a golden yellow. Rhino Header of Goseiger (2010) is a lemon-y yellow. And Elephant Header is orange-yellow.

Kamen Riders Different Shades of Colors 4 (2015)

UPDATED 6/25/15
PARTE CUARTO (4)
Most Kamen Riders are a mix of colors, most likely to differentiate from Sentai. I went for the majority color in suit or if most of the Kamen Riders had the same color suit (like the case in Ryuki and Gaim), then the majority color used to differentiate from them. They are put in order of appearance and sometimes, by series. I added some of the modes and only they if different shade than the original rider (say for example Den-O climax form is not here since it is same color as Sword Form), are displayed here. Because nowadays since Kiva, there are less Riders and the main rider has the most modes. The hardest to place is Kamen Rider Sigurd as he is an even amount of black, red, green and light green. I also split up Blue and Green in lighter colors to make up space since there are so many now.

 Shades of Green (26)
Obviously this would be the most used color since Kamen Rider started with insects. Kamen Rider Ichigou and Kamen Rider Nigou were both green. V3's helmet was red and used some red in his costume but his suit was mostly green. Amazon's suit was green, X's helmet was silver but his suit was light green, and Skyrider and Shin were green. Zo, and J were a dark Viridian. Kuuga's Pegasus form and Gills was green; and Another Agito had a dark green suit. In Ryuki, Zolda was green. In Blade, Leangle was a dark Spinach green (Myrtle) and Lance was almost a Hunter Green. In Hibiki, Todoroki and Zanki had dark green suits and Kabuki was a bright tangy green. As for the new Kamen Rider The First revival, one of the Kamen Riders is regular green. V3 has a crimson helmet with green suit. In Kabuto, Kick Hopper was green. In Den-O, two of Zeronos' 3 forms were green. While Kiva's Basshaa form (based on a sea creature) was green. The Green cyclone part of Kamen Rider Double is a mix between Gills and Zolda's green shades. Kamen Rider OOO's Gatakiriba Combo is dark shiny green. Kamen Rider Wizard's Hurricane Style is green. Kamen Rider Ryugen of Kamen Rider Gaim has grape-theme so he has grape but has mostly green, kind of hard since the purple seems to be the first thing I think about.

Shades of Blue (21)
Bio Rider from Black RX was completely blue. Kuuga's dragon mode was blue. G3 and G3-X in Agito was cobalt blue. Kamen Rider Knight in Ryuki was unique as he was a dark blue and had some black. Kamen Rider Blade was the first rider to lead a series that was blue (Ultramarine). Ibuki, Danki, and Gouki were different shades of blue. Ibuki was a darker blue than the others. In Kabuto, Gatack was a bright blue like Azure. Den-O's Rod form and Strike form were blue, Strike was darker. Kiva's Garulu form was blue, a bright blue. Amiki, introduced into the world of Hibiki in Decade, is the same shade of blue of Ibuki. The Trigger blue part of Kamen Rider Double is similar to that of Gattack's. Accel's Trail, it is kind of like the shade of blue of the Den-O blue and maybe Kuuga blue. It is almost royal blue. Kamen Rider OOO's Shauta Combo was a dark cobalt blue. Kamen Rider Poseidon was a mix of red and dark blue but his helmet was cyan.  Kamen Rider Wizard's Water Style is bright sharp blue. In Kamen Rider Gaim, Gaim's main mode is majority navy blue with some orange. 


Shades of Red (24)
Kamen Rider Stronger had green, red, black and yellow, but the color used most was red. Kamen Rider ZX was the first rider to be completely red. Kamen Rider Kuuga was the first to start the tradition of Riders of being red. Agito Burning/Shining Form and Ryuki were red. 55 mostly had black but his trim was red and his other form was mostly red. In Blade, Garren was Burgundy and Larc was regular red. Hibiki had some red and his other forms were red. Shuki's suit was like Sangria mixed with Scarlet.Kabuto was more like a dark crimson. Den-O's sword form was red and Zerono's Zero form was a Maroon color and Yu-Ki had some red. Kiva was red and G is wine-color red. The heat part of Kamen Rider Double is a lighter red, more like a Red Ranger red. Kamen Rider Accel in Kamen Rider W, his color is a prime red, like for a car, a bit scarlet, a bit darker than lets say, the usual Red Ranger. Kamen Rider G, which was for a special, had black and red. As for the Kamen Rider OOO and the Tajadol combo, it is a red and dark red. Kamen Rider Fourze's Fire State is bright red. Kamen Rider Wizard's Flame Style is pretty bright red. Kamen Rider Baron has some silver and yellow but mostly red but almost a pinkish red. Kamen Rider Idun is white and red but since red is more prominent, I go with that. Kamen Rider Drive is mostly red, also his other two modes Dead Heat and Tridoron. Kamen Rider Lupin is a dark red suit.


Black (21)
Kamen Rider Black was clearly the first black rider. Black RX had some green but mostly black. Robo Rider had some yellow but mostly black as well. While Kuuga's ultimate form was black and gold. In Ryuki, Ryuuga was completely black and grey. Alternative and Zero were black. Kamen Rider Kaixa (555) had yellow and purple and black but I didn't know where to put him, he was a hard one, should I have had put him in yellow?! Delta, who I love to call Zebra, was for sure black. Orga has red, gold and black, he is mostly black. Chalice (Blade) had red and black. In Kabuto, Punch Hopper has a metallic gun-metal looking and Dark Kabuto is black with scarlet. In Kiva, Arc was black and Dark Kiva had black, gold, green and red, he was mostly black. Even though Skull has a silver face, his body is mostly black. And the Joker part of Double has some purple accents but mostly is Black. Kamen Rider Kurokage of Gaim, his armor is black with some dark brown. Kamen Rider Fifteen of Gaim is black and white. Kamen Rider Chase Machine is black and Kamen Rider Protodrive is black with some purple. Kamen Rider Tyrant is hard as Sigurd as he has black, silver and orange but I'll go with black as his arms and legs are black. 


  White (13)
The first to grace us with white was the first female rider Kamen Rider Femme. In 555, Pysga was white with blue and purple. Kamen Rider Touki in Hibiki had a mostly white suit. Kiva had 3 white Riders! Ixa, Saga and Rey. Ixa has white, gold, blue, red and black. Saga has blue, white, purple, yellow and gold. Rey has black and gold and white. Kamen Rider Kivala is blue and white, but the majority of her outfit is white. The white part of FangJoker is white. Kamen Rider Eternal is all white and Kamen Rider Fourze's base state. Also Kamen Rider Kuuga's Growing Form. Kamen Rider Zangestu of Gaim has some green and gold but mostly gold. Also Kamen Rider Mach of Kamen Rider Drive with some red and black.

Silver (12)
Super-1 was mostly silver. Shadow Moon of Black RX was completely silver. In Ryuki, Gai was a dark grey and silver and black, while Tiger was silver with indigo. In Hibiki, Shoki (who didn't appear that much in the series) had some silver. Yu-ki from Den-O had a silver form. Double's Metal form is just silver, simple as that. And the G Den-O, he has blue and red but mostly black and silver. Kamen Rider OOO's Sagohzo Combo is almost white. Kamen Rider Nadeshiko's suit is silver with periwinkle while her helmet is black and white. Kamen Rider OOO's Magent State is all silver but he has a black head. I would love to put Kamen Rider Chaser as purple but his suit is mostly silver.

Shades of Yellow (10)
 Glaive of Blade was yellow. Nishiki of Hibiki was completely yellow! In Kabuto, Bee was yellow and black and Caucasus was a yellow metal. Den-O's Axe form was yellow for sure.  The yellow part of Double's Luna Memory is a shiny yellow, a bit like TheBee's. And as for the Kamen Rider OOO's LAtortar Combo, his yellow is almost gold-ish. Accel Booster is yellow. Kamen Rider Meteor Storm is a metallic yellow, almost gold. Kamen Rider Wizard's Land Style is yellow. I moved Fourze's Elec State to gold but I still maintain that Meteor Storm is more of a yellow.


Cyan (8)
In Spanish, light blue is called celeste and it is a color in its own right in Russia, Spain and other European countries. In Kabuto, Drake was a light blue, different shade than before. In Decade, Kamen Rider Abyss from the Ryuki World is a cyan and Diend is supposed to be cyan but looks more like a cornflower blueKamen Rider Meteor is a metallic cyan. Kamen Rider Fourze's Cosmic State was a bright blue, a neon aqua. Kamen Rider Type Formula has some white and blue but let me consider it blue. Kamen Rider Aqua is clearly aqua and cyan and blue. Kamuro (Lapis) is mostly silver suit but has a lot of light blue accents. 

Purple (8)
Kamen Rider Kuuga's Titan form is purple, the first in fact. Kamen Rider Ohja (Ryuki) is a violet. Kamen Rider Eiki's suit is like a violet-maroon and with silver and dark teal color. Kamen Rider Sasword (Kabuto) was a dark lavender, a tangy violet, it is a different shade than Ohja. Kamen Rider Den-O's gun mode is a Amethyst-like violet. Nega Den-O was a plum-like purple. Kamen Rider Kiva's Dogga form is a vivid dark sharp purple. Kamen Rider OOO's Putotyra Combo is a pretty purple.  


Gold (7)

In Ryuki, Odin was gold and some bronze-y colors. In Hibiki, Banki (who didn't appear that much in the series) had like a pale gold. And Kirameki had silver, gold and black, his suit was black but let's say he is gold, since he has so much gold. Kamen Rider Kuuga Rising Ultimate was gold and black. I forgot about Kamen Rider Agito's main form! Kamen Rider Fourze's Elec State is goldish-yellow. Kamen Rider Mars has red, gold and black but mostly gold, he is from Gaim. 


Brown / Bronze (6)
Kamen Rider Imperer had gold and a coffee brown, he was the first brown I suppose. In Hibiki, Toki (who didn't appear that much in the series) had a light orange or brown. Also, Habataki was all brown. In Kabuto, Ketaros was a copper color, like a penny. In Den-O, Gaoh was a bronze color. I personally don't like brown but Habataki looks good. Kamen Rider Gridon of Gaim is brown mostly.


Orange (5)
Kamen Rider Scissors from Ryuki is considered orange but he is like a goldish yellow. Sabaki (Hibiki) was like Vermilion, which is a red-orange. Kamen Rider OOO's Burakawani Combo's helmet is bronze-like but rest of body is orange. Kamen Rider Fourze's Rocket Drill States is orange. I haven't seen the series but in some pictures he has a regular mode helmet but the toys have him in both orange and white helmets. Kamen Rider Bravo of Gaim's suit is mostly black or dark blue but his armor is light yellow-orange. 

 Pink (4)
I hear Decade is suppose to be Magenta, he looks like a softer tone of Magenta. Raia is a highly debated color, some say pink, I say raspberry red or deep Carmine. Decade is clearly pink, the first real pink Rider. Also, Kamen Rider Marika of Kamen Rider Gaim is pink, a true pink. Kamen Rider Jam is silver and black but mostly pink accents, this was a tough one but I am making the judgment.


Light Green/Olive Green/Lime Green (4)
Kamen Rider Ryuki's Kamen Rider Verde was a lime green, Verde is Spanish for Green. As for the new Kamen Rider The First revival, one of the Kamen Riders is a aqua-green. Den-O's wing form was a light olive green.  Kamen Rider Bravo of Gaim is lime green, regular green and tangy purple.

Obscure Colors Rangers

UPDATED 6/16/18
I have kind of covered obscure colors before but not quite like this. A friend of mine asked me if there ever was an orange ranger. Here are obscure or rare colors.

ORANGE
In Power Rangers SPD (2005), Boom dreamed to be a ranger and had a fantasy and had a B-Squad uniform and a repainted Power Rangers Space helmet (Yellow) without black visor on top.
 In Super Sentai, they had a fully Orange warrior in Battle Cossack of Battle Fever J in 1979. Deka Swan of Dekaranger/Kat Ranger of Power Rangers SPD was White with Orange. In 2014, Toqger introduced Toq6Gou. In 2016, Zyuoh Bird appeared in the tail end and was more like a red-orange recolor of Zyuoh Eagle. In 2017, Sasori Orange was of the main nine of Kyuranger. 


NAVY
Kuwagata Raijer of Hurricanger / Navy Ranger of Ninja Storm is the first warrior with a darker shade of blue than usual. The second is coming up soon in the Kyoryuger movie in the summer, he is Kyoryu Navy. In Boom Comics' Go Go Power Rangers, he is referred to as Dark Ranger.



CRIMSON  Kabuto Raijer of Hurricanger / Crimson Ranger of Ninja Storm was a darker shade of red, and considered crimson in Power Rangers. Many fans clump him with Red Rangers and others consider him the closest thing to a male Pink Ranger.


VIOLET
One of my favorite rangers is obviously Geki Violet of Gekiranger / Violet Wolf Ranger of Power Rangers Jungle Fury.

We got two more Violets in the form of male Kyoryu Violet and his granddaughter female Kyoryu Violet who is a recurring 7th in Kyoryuger (2013). In Dino Charge, they are Albert and Kendall the Purple Rangers respectively.

In 2014, in a special for Toqger, we got Toq7Gou, their 'mentor' Conducter donned violet.

Kyu Violet/Ryu Commander in Kyuranger (2017)


CYAN
 Some of the female Blue Rangers have had a light blue color that my nephew's girlfriend has referred to as 'turquoise.' These include Blue Swallow of Jetman, Hurricane Blue of Hurricanger/Blue Wind Ranger of Ninja Storm and MagiBlue of Magiranger/Blue Mystic Ranger of Mystic Force. Also included is Ninja Blue of Kakuranger / Blue Aquitar Ranger (second on top), which is male. Power Rangers Jungle Fury had the Shark Ranger (bottom center) which is cyan but they never mentioned it. Kyoryu Cyan (bottom right) recently in Kyoryuger (2013). In Dino Supercharge (2016), Kyoryu Cyan is Aqua Ranger. Also Kaguma Sky Blue of Kyuranger (2017).



TITANIUM/GREY
 Titanium Ranger is an exclusive Power Ranger not in Super Sentai and came out in 1999 with Lightspeed Rescue. Now Kyoryu Grey is coming out in Kyoryuger. He is not considered a silver ranger but for years Titanium Ranger was considered a Silver Ranger. I think they are similar but some people say no, it depends on the lighting. I think Titanium is no so shiny, I think its more like a dull dark grey. The first Silver Ranger was more like a white. In Dino Charge, Kyoryu Grey is known as Graphite Ranger.
