Dunno why it's associated with those colors though.

same reason vaporwave is associated with old technology, and why metal is associated with satanism. music just kinda gets associated with things, whether intentionally or not intentionally.

Yeah, it's the CGA palette, I realise that. It's just fun. =D

Anyway... slow start (not much time to work on it right now).

Have you heard of Imgur? It's most certainly better than whatever image hoster you just used.

An explanation as to what "synthwave" is and why cyan, magenta, and purple are associated with it would be useful for the rest of us - to me, the only thing significant about those colors is that they are used in CGA palette #1.

Synthwave is a music genre. Example song which I fully acknowledge as a Splatoon remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5PWQg_iJqw

Dunno why it's associated with those colors though.

Because of tripping and that

For what's it is worth, spore tree logs and glazed earthenware are also teal. So is the secondary colour of some metals such as zinc. Lay pewter is perhaps the hardest way to obtain it, tbh.

For black bronze and rose gold, settling on a volcanic area is probably sufficient, if it has gold, as tetrahedrite is common for silver and copper. Microcline is also similarly common, though otoh if you don't have enough it's not quick to import. Still, between the rocks I'd bring rutile.

Tunnel tubes are magenta, and glumprongs are purple, so other bed colours are also possible. Though for the latter, need to embark on them.

Swordsmasters are light cyan, so probably should use them for military.
