There is a distinct use of colour in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the games primary colour is purple, It's by far the most abundant colour in the game, the box art title/start screen uses a purple font, and the antagonist is mostly purple.
Other dominant colours include different shades of red, yellow, green, and black. All these colours can represent something negative, and the combination of them all creates a very unique and sinister setting for a video game. I discovered that the colour combinations depended on the time of day within the game world. In the daytime, Termina has less of a looming sense of gloominess. Instead the palette transforms into a wash of creams, browns and blues. The cream colours in particular represent acceptance and tolerance, this makes sense as the threat is not visible to the citizens or the player.
