Ok so, I was taken by a fey mood on my way home from SQL class today and decided "I WILL BUILD A GIANT STATUE IN THE SHAPE OF AN ANIME GIRL" so I am going to do just that. If I recall there was one guy who made an absolutely huge Dorf statue that drank magma from a mug and urinated magma, but I can't find the thread about it. Are there any other threads that document this? cuz I need this statue made and shipped out by Saturday.

Also it needs purple. Lots and lots of purple.

I've just noticed the lack of purple.

Rose gold maybe? Miasma generators?

Pitchblende. Good luck finding it, however.

By "anime girl" I assume that means "japanese school girl".  Try changing the purple to red or blue instead.  Cobaltite makes a good blue, though microcline is more frequent it's not an ideal shade of blue.  Kaolinite and bauxite seem common enough, I believe both occur in large clusters as well.

Nope, has to be purple. Isn't there a way to mod the colors of rock in the raw files?

You can mod a tileset;)

rose gold is an ass to make.
Copper, Silver and Gold all together to make some, its a lot of materials. 
Pitchblende, you have to scour every level of level to maybe get about 100 or so.

Your only hope is to mod the color set, unless you have about 5000 gold copper and silver.

Gods, that statue is awesome. I missed out on that, thanks for linking it.

I assumed "Anime Girl" meant a "A girl rendered in the style of a Japanese cartoon". Although if the color is that important, perhaps PsychicKid already has a particular character in mind.

Anyway, Rose gold isn't quite that bad to make. Only gold and copper, no silver. (That would be black bronze.) The wiki suggests bismuth as an alternative source of that color. It's not common either, but it's an element, so maybe easier to trade for?

Let me guess. For hair?

Isn't there a purple wood?

(No. Stop thinking that.)

[Girlinhat]

Tunnel tubers are bright purple.  Glumprong is dark purple but you never see those unless you mod them in a bit.  Pitchblend, Rutile, and Black Bronze are additionally purple, black bronze being an alloy of gold, silver, and copper.  Rose Gold is available for light purple, requiring 3 parts gold to 1 part copper.  If you set mineral scarcity to 100 (ie, minerals everywhere) you can find a lot of copper and gold, particularly gold around orthoclase deposits it seems.

Additionally, you can mod anything for color, though it might lose appeal if you've got a glorious statue made of acacia logs, when you could instead have a statue of rose gold.  There's a token in each material, should be [COLOR:X:Y] just tweak that as desired.

Also worth noting that visualizers use a different scheme, so if you're using Overseer to display the product (because let's be real, in DF it doesn't look as impressive) then you can tweak Overseer's settings to have things in different shades.  I assume similar can be done with stonesense, but I've not bothered trying.

What like tentacle grape purple or a less foreboding purple?

Incorrect. According to the wiki:

It is made by combining three gold bars with one copper bar, which results in four rose gold bars.

It is only in real life where you add silver.
