I say, interesting blog.

I'm not sure how much I could help, seeing as I have some sort of Dichromacy (I think Deuteranopia), or Color-blindness in laymen's terms. So you lost me at the blue - violet -purple thing.

I just want to say, perhaps for green 'mind control' is too specific. It seems more like 'deception' would be an appropriate term. When I think green, I think camouflage after all.

And it kind of makes sense, don't it?

Ozpin, when we first saw him, hid his true identity (though Ruby figured him out). Ozpin also likes to mess with his students, seemingly, meaning he hides the reality or purpose of what he's talking about as he's talking about it. The jade dragons are guns masking as blades (or vice versa). A forest would be filled with camouflage. And the forest is the place where the initiation takes place, allowing the students to discover their hidden potential and true worth.

Okay, that last one may be a bit farfetched, but still. Oh, and green representing life makes total sense.

And grey... I don't know. Grey evokes either neutrality or an inner struggle between good and bad with me. The stone knight for example was neither bad nor good, probably. He was some sort of golemn, a mere tool that could be used for good or bad. And Lie Ren's clothes, which I think are grey, might represent his personality in that way. He's not a bad or depressed guy, he just gets bored or fed up with life and doesn't skip allong the estatic trail of happyness shown by Nora.

Anyway, again, interesting blog. Hope this helps in any way.
