The only thing about Dust that has actually been up in the air for debate has been fire vs lava, whether or not red and orange Dust are actually the same thing or something completely different.

Meanwhile, I've already discussed, observed, and deciphered the other colors we've seen, as best as I could, with the few times we've gotten to actually physically see the colors associated with the elements being used!

Volume 1, first episode - Red Dust crystal is called "Burn"

Volume 1, Ruby sneeze scene: Red, dark blue, and yellow - made fire, ice, and lightning.

World of Remnant: Dust: The yellow-brown-golden-whatevever Dust chunk was picked up by a silhouette, who used it to summon lightning.

Twitter - Kristina Nguyen, the artist who did the visuals for WoR: Dust, said that green is wind, so that's the only one we know for certain.

Volume 2, Painting the Town: When Neo blocked Yang's punch, cyan/light blue shockwaves radiated out from her umbrella. The shaft of her umbrella has a hole in it, which makes it seem like a gun barrel of some sort, kinda like Roman's cane. At the time, I assumed it was something special that Neo could do.

Volume 2, No Brakes, Weiss' fight: Weiss used Myrtenaster to draw a circle in the air, followed by the WF Lt striking where the circle was, and cyan/light blue shockwaves radiated from it, leading me to reconsider what I initially assumed about what Neo did. One of the colors in Myrtenaster is light blue, so I theorized that light blue could be some sort of energy type thing or something. Neo may have expelled the Dust through her umbrella's barrel.

Volume 2, No Brakes, Blake's fight: The colors of Dust she received from Weiss are the same six colors from Myrtenaster - red, dark blue, yellow, white, purple, light blue. She produced the following clones in order:


 * Fire


 * Stone


 * Something with a black and purple, which is the only time we've ever seen her clones have that effect. Usually, they just blur and then fade, but when a Beowolf passed through one in Search and Destroy, there was a white and light purple effect, pretty much the same colors as the Aura slash arc she used on Roman during this fight.


 * Ice

This shows that she can skip colors, which means she can choose which colors she wants to use.

From this, I theorized that the black and purple clone might be purple Dust, which could be darkness. After all, she even made the clone right in front of Roman's eyes, which would block his view of her.

Through process of elimination, I theorized that white is probably stone/rock/earth whatever you wanna call it.

We don't really have much else to go on for a lot of these colors, which is why I would love it if RT would just tell us what they do.
