Locke Blue and Chief Orange. [Librarian/Didact]

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

A quick note to the two prominent colours in this reclaimer series. Blue & Orange

Cortana & Chief(visor)

Librarian & Didact (promethean control too) + (e3 2013 Bird construct + Halo 5 Guardians box art Construct)

Locke & Chief (visors) (I’m wondering if there is meaning to locke’s blue actually just being symbolism of cortanas absence)

Librarian & Didact had always disputed how things should be handled im wondering if this colour pattern has a higher meaning or if they just really like blue and orange.! xD

Ironicly chiefs team happens to be Blue Team xD!

One of the premium controllers has blue highlights while the other has red/orange.

I’m not sure. Those seem to be just a style choice to convey a common theme. It’s a cool observation, though.

Orange is at the other end of the color spectrum for blue.

Its done pretty much to emphasize how the two oppose each other. Also to set them apart stylistically

That’s a cool way to look at it. But obviously, Chief <3

I like Locke though.

When the “blue” and “orange” converge would that be the green of master chief’s armor and the black of locke’s armor?

I feel that there are so many similarities between the didact and john that there may be more to it than that.

Frank o Connor said locke is here to humanise and present chief in a way that cortana never could (cortanas gone but of all the colours to choose for locke they portray that lovely cortana blue (the librarian who had planned an accounted for her creation in the eventuality)

If chief was imprinted in someway or what ever DNA unlocks shes done to the chief i’m sure there is a lot more to do with this orange vs blue kind of deal. My main point being the

2013 e3 construct bird from the ground had orange lights like it were under the didacts control + the new unveiled box art bird is Blue (librarians control)

If you say they are opposing each other then these constructs? I doubt they are opposing each other.

I may be looking to much into this, but there is SO much emphasis on the visors, the glare, the colour’s, the prometheans, the didact, the librarian, cortana, locke, chief…

Hell even the sentinels in the new darkhorse comic cover (part 3 of the janus key ark) OHH + The janus key is also one half blue one half orange. my oh my.

That’s a sound connection, I’ll admit. However, in going to grudgingly agree that it’s probably just contrasting the difference Cheif and Locke. However on that however, it seems to be paradoxical.

Imagine the art as a whole is representative of multiple perspectives on the situation. Particularly, us: humanity as a whole. On first glance, we’ll see Locke and Chief. Chief is represented as orange. Orange usually represents danger, that’s how the mind interprets it. Since Chief is AWOL, and that seems to have gone public, humans as a whole will see Chief as a fallen hero, a threat. Locke, on the other hand, is in blue. Blue can represent trust, yet also sadness. Locke’s mission is a lot about trust, loyalty—yet we’re all grieving over having to terminate our greatest hero. Again, humans as a whole see it in that perspective.

However…

If you look closely, the basic contrast between Locke and Chief becomes more complicated. For one, you’ll notice that Chief and Blue Team appear under the blue side. Under close surveillance, I’m sure we’ll all find that even though they seem hostile in the public eye, Chief and Blue Team’s mission will benefit humanity in the end.

“Our duty, as soldiers, is to protect humanity. Whatever the cost.”

Now, look at Locke’s team. The public may see Locke as their new hero, but Locke’s intentions (or at least what he’s being ordered to do) aren’t going to pay off in the end.

Yes, a paradox (I think). What we think is Chief betraying us is actually Chief realizing that, as Scruggs put it, “what [humanity] you fight for isn’t always the same as who [UNSC/ONI] you fight for.”
