old me that writing Old English in red conveys a certain meaning and wanted=
to know if there were colors to use or avoid when writing Klingon; specifi=
cally pIqaD.<br><br><br>I have never heard of colors of text having a meani=
ng in Klingon or any language, but I most often see Klingon written in blac=
k, red, and yellow.<br><br>As he was wanting to use a deep red, I told him =
to go ahead with it.<br><br>I also remarked that I had never seen Klingon w=
ritten in green, and that visualizing green pIqaD seemed wrong to me.<br><b=
r>Further pondering on the subject has lead me to reject blue as well.<br><=
br>I would tilt my head at orange, but I would accept it, hesitantly.<br><b=
r><br>My next step is to actually write Klingon in different colors (as opp=
osed to just visualizing the text) to see if the prejudice is still present=
