In many color studies, purple has been observed to have a huge gender divide where it is among top favorite colors for women but top disliked colors for men (at least in the US). And yet, this game choose to use purple for their theme.
If I can ask dev for one small new feature, I will ask for option to choose theme colour.
The color here appears to be tied to the lore and story.

Purple is a range of colors, lavender is a shade of purple. (also, lavender isn't Veilguard's color, lavender is light blueish purple, while Veilguard is more of a mix between amethyst purple, HTML/CSS purple and cardinal - since it is, in reality, supposed to represent a relatively uneven mix between blue and red) Picky Picky It's an artist thing

The color here appears to be tied to the lore and story. It is now but I'm pretty sure it didn't have to be. It is a design choice. Their original logo connected with the game in 2020 was in gold and black but then they changed it when they announced the original name of Dreadwolf and have run with it ever since even when they changed it to Veilguard. I'll be very surprised if there is an actual reason given in game that is lore consistent why purple is the colour of the Veilguard. If I can ask dev for one small new feature, I will ask for option to choose theme colour. Same here. I've criticised the saturation of everything with purple but not because I don't like the colour normally (which I do - I have clothes in exactly the same colour), just because I find it overdone. When the characters' hair, clothing and everything about them on the character screens is heavily tinged purple, I find it annoying. When every card and codex seems to be coloured this deep, vibrant purple colour it starts to grate on me. I can't explain why, it just does. If they could just tone it down a bit or there was an option to do so, I would be okay with it, but there isn't. That said, you can at least change the background and lighting during character creator, which I shall do so at every opportunity. Do you suppose it is possible to leave it adjusted that way for the character screens during the game?

It seems that younger males are less prejudiced against purple than old farts. Nice to see prejudice alive and well against the older generation. May be the ones who don't like purple can't help it but their brains are just wired that way. Or may be it's because it is associated with royalty and they are republicans. See my post above for why the colour theme of Veilguard is a negative for me. I like purple normally and my favourite outfit is exactly the same shade of purple as Veilguard. However, I don't wear it everyday but on special occasions or when I am going out somewhere and want to be noticed. You see, it isn't very practical and does make you stand out in company. It is precisely not the sort of colour I would choose if I want to move through the world undetected. Then again, most of the companions seem to be wearing outfits that just scream "look at me". So, I guess stealth and subterfuge are not going to be our strong points.

I think maybe some like older dudes associate purple with feminine or gay, same as with pink, and this is just another way also to crap on Veilguard for a lot of people, since trans scars and flat butts have been exhausted as topics. I found Inquisition's green to be way more prevalent and even then, it bothered me none. DA games have always had a key color. I mean, seriously. Purple is not even my favorite color or anything (blue is), but somebody's gotta be on purple's corner, here. From now on, I'm the #PurpleDefender. How do you think this would make Barney feel? And Ursula the Sea Witch and The Cheshire Cat? The Joker? How about Prince? And Purple Rain? Shame on you! Don't mess with purple, or I'll mess you up with like, purple laser beams and sh*t. And my Rook's *definitely* wearing purple, at least like a cape or cloak or something. And it's gonna be fabulous! 👊 #LeavePurpleAlone!

And Ursula the Sea Witch and The Cheshire Cat? The Joker? Sorry, but aren't these the bad guys. Also, was the Cheshire Cat purple in the book or just in Disney? Now if you want a different association for purple that I am prepared to support, how about Amethysto, meaning "not drunk", which is the reason why Christian Bishops wear a ring adorned with an amethyst. It recalls the apostles running out onto the streets of Jerusalem after receiving the Holy Spirit and the onlookers thinking they had been having a bit too much wine. So St Peter said: "We're not drunk, it's only nine in the morning!" (Clearly, he had never witnessed an all night party). Perhaps I shall call one of my Rooks Amethysto and embrace the colour.

Some even ask why I don't use purple. It's so frustration and annoying when they trying to make me embrace this colour as my colour.
I am trying to make peace about fact that purple is theme colour for DAV. Because I know that I will enjoy other stuff they offer.

That seems extremely low for a AAA game coming out in less than a month. Enjoy DAV while it lasts, it might be the last Dragon Age game... Don't forget Steam is not the only place to buy the game. It's also on Xbox, PS, Epic and EA App. It's doing well on Steam and probably on other platforms as well Yeash I preordered on the app. Mostl ybecaus tthat' swher eall m yother DA games are. Though because I've recently bought a new externa lSSD I am hinkoing of movin gal lthe DA games over to it. Mostl ys othe yare grouped as they'er kindof installed in all diffren tlocations on m ycomputer atm. As I'm thinkin go fdoing tha twith al my Bioware games as I wa sthinking eventually moving the trilogy and Andromeda over to it too.

It seems that younger males are less prejudiced against purple than old farts. Nice to see prejudice alive and well against the older generation. May be the ones who don't like purple can't help it but their brains are just wired that way. Or may be it's because it is associated with royalty and they are republicans. See my post above for why the colour theme of Veilguard is a negative for me. I like purple normally and my favourite outfit is exactly the same shade of purple as Veilguard. However, I don't wear it everyday but on special occasions or when I am going out somewhere and want to be noticed. You see, it isn't very practical and does make you stand out in company. It is precisely not the sort of colour I would choose if I want to move through the world undetected. Then again, most of the companions seem to be wearing outfits that just scream "look at me". So, I guess stealth and subterfuge are not going to be our strong points. I am an old fart ... I guess I should have used an emoji. I don't really care about purple but I have a bias against pink because I grew up in that era where being gay and cross-dressing was funny.

I object! My favorite color is purple. While I favor the base color and some its darker variants the most, I appreciate all tones. Needless to say, I am not troubled by Veilguard's palette. It seems that younger males are less prejudiced against purple than old farts. "Fascinatingly, surveys indicate young generations exhibit virtually no gender divide in purple preference. Generation Z males are increasingly comfortable bucking traditional norms. Gender fluidity and rejection of binaries is a hallmark Gen Z trait."www.33rdsquare.com/is-purple-considered-a-girly-color-a-nuanced-exploration/Can I ask which decade you were born so that I can make an unreasonably biased guess at "why" you like purple? I am not the one you ask. But i hope you don't mind my answere. It may have something to do with generations, but actually it is more a matter of upbringing or the behavior of people you often see.
My Uncle have Pink shirts and my father (64) love bright colours. But my brother(94) is more the typical male colour person. All are hetero.

consoles sales is more significant of Veilguard's success. I terms of competition, most other ARPGs seem to have quit the field to February. Having little else to play might not be a great reason, but it's a reason.
