I found a really weird coincidence between RWBY and some song lyrics. The thing is, a band called tool has a song called "Lateralus" in which the opening lyrics are:

Black then white are all I see in my infancy. Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me, lets me see.

As you have probably realized, the colors mentioned are the exact colors that the name RWBY is based off of. Not only this, but in an interview, the singer of Tool said:

"I use the archetype stories of North American aboriginals and the themes or colours which appear over and over again in the oral stories handed down through generations. Black, white, red, and yellow play very heavily in aboriginal stories of creation."

This leaves me wondering how both Monty and Maynard James Keenan (the aforementioned singer) got attached to the same exact four colors an put them into their respective works. They even have similar quotes:

"Keep moving forward." -Monty Oum

"Spiral out. Keep going." -Maynard James Keenan

I would like to know your thoughts on this. Have a great day.
