RE:Costume Colors
Japanese site, European site, American site. You go to the character sections, and each character has their own Personal Data listed in a box of a differing color. Ninjara's box is navy and Min Min's is green. Japan's has been up for at least one and a half month from now. When this site was up, this was the first complete main color reference for the ARMS fighters (at least, concerning the Japanese version).

The site also gives each character a background with their colors. In Ninjara's case, navy is the primary color while the tealish green from his hair and logo is the secondary one. Likewise, Min Min's background features green as its primary color and orange as the secondary one. I'm not exactly sure how much merit that has, considering Master Mummy's background has white as the primary color, yet his personal data box is purple. But these backgrounds do appear in the main game too, therefor meaning that the shirts of the fans are not the only in-game reference of their main colors.

Another in-game reference are the colors of the ending splash screens, and that also has differing colors. Ninjara's is blue, like his navy shirt, Min Min's is orange, but Spring Man's is pinkish red, when most other times, his color was light blue. Kid Cobra's ending image is in cyan, which differs from his purple seen among his data box, background and fans.

And then there's the color of the package ribbons in the ARM Getter, which also differs per character. Which I don't know much of the details, unfortunately.

So when we take other references in account (five in total), it becomes really confusing which one is the primary color and which one is the secondary color. I would do both of the colors (when it applies), but that would mean I would change it for the other characters too, for the sake of consistency, which then gets really confusing when you have characters like Spring Man, whose hair and ARMS are cyan/light blue and his mask and padding is pinkish red, but his next alt has his hair brown, his ARMS and mask green and his padding dark blue. So, really, the easiest and most consistent option is to go with the color of the personal data box on the websites, or maybe the backgrounds.

I'd do the same for Twintelle, too, but her background, website color and ending image are all in golden brown, possibly from her Actress Aura. Like Master Mummy's white bandages, that doesn't even change color per alt (if it were visible from her character select to begin with).

->Very well researched, and thank you for the references. However all these examples are about determining the character's main promotional color. And yes that could be their splash screen, their ending screen, their personal data box, or some combination of the above. All that proves is that when it come to the character's main promotional color it is very ambiguous.

I'm talking about when it comes to what color is associated with each palette swap when you choose a different palette swap by holding a direction. The only thing that changes by alt is the color of the fans. Meaning that if Ninjara's promo-color is light blue like his ending screen, or navy with green accents in his splash screen, or navy as his personal data box, doesnt really matter. It's that when your selecting a character on the select screen, the default palette, when compared to the other palette, is green. And that's true across all characters across all alts.

i.e. Ninjara's promotional color is 'Navy' sure, but his default palette is still his 'green' palette among all his palette options. Like in Smash Bros Wii U, characters all have a promocolor that goes with their box on the character select screen, on their amiibo packaging, their background on the official website etc. But that doesn't mean that because DK always has a yellow background, his default 'brown' palette is his 'yellow' costume.

side note don't know how to add signatures and such. My main edit is just to get the palette swap colors right. The rest of the site i leave to the fans that want to develope it.
