Smallville question:
Oct. 13th, 2006 05:53 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Does anyone know if there's a place that keeps track of the clothing colors? I noticed that Clark was wearing the blue t-shirt last night and I was wondering if the primary choice of color says anything about where the character is being placed (emotionally, character-context-wise, etc). I know that colors in general are very important and focused on in Smallville, particularly the three primary colors (for Superman-eske stuff) and green/black.
ETA: If no one has done such a thing, I'm half-tempted to do it myself.

I've got a couple of essays about colour archived somewhere--I'll try and dig them out. The clothing choices nearly always have significance. They're very deliberate.

I would be very interested in reading those. Someone linked me to a 'Chlois' site and they made a big deal out of Clark wearing blue with Chloe, which made me wonder about when he wears the bright blue t-shirt versus the red, and also about Pete and now Lois wearing yellow in notable scenes (like Clark's birthday party!).

Imagine being able to do fannish things ALL DAY! *daydreams*

That really would be the ultimate life.
