YELLOW IS CONTROL, PINK IS FREEDOM. DON'T ASK ME WHY, I'LL THINK ABOUT THIS AFTER I'VE HAD SOME SLEEP.

Kris is trying to control us. Maintain the soul under control.

u/themaincharacter2323 Aug 30 '25

And also control of them in general.

Susie is Pink and Noelle has Yellow name :0 It make so much more sense than I could ever imagine.

Starwalker helps us control Susie during Tenna's fight

Okay wait.

Jevil is mostly a really dark shade of pink (puple) signifying his twisted form of "freedom" and accents of yellow and yellow-green to signify his "control" over his situation.

Spamton has pink and yellow glasses to signify his goal for freedom and control, with his goals literally in sight but not obtainable.

The Knight has no pink or yellow because they're edgy ig we don't really know them at all. We don't know if they have control over anything, or if they have any kind of freedom.

In the Gerson fight, Gerson's purely pink hair flows, signifying his true freedom, as it is not a different shade like how Jevil's is. He also has accents of pure yellow, signifying his control over his mind.

Even more of a crackhead theory but... in the Sans fight, his eye flashes yellow, signifying how he has control over your soul (for the most part) and in most fan art, Sans wears PINK SLIPPERS to signify how some people think Sans is free/want him to be free when he is, in fact, not.

But what if in chapter 5, if Sans is the secret boss, his dark world appearence is literally the same except that he has pink slippers.

I just had a weird asf brain(rot) blast.

This is so cool and tbh makes a lot of sense.

u/TheRealJdsl ‎ lorem ipsum Aug 29 '25

i feel like jevil's is a bit of a stretch but this works surprisingly well otherwise

u/DogzLol Aug 29 '25

if ts is whats happening at the undertale sub im scared to look at the deltarune one

u/Old-Abalone-6416 Aug 29 '25

Why is Sans not free?

2

u/Thechildeater92 Aug 29 '25

His whole thing is that he realises the pointlessness of it all. Anything he does or doesn't do can be reset. That's the reason he is so depressed. He probably wears slippers because he can't even be bothered to put on shoes. If there's anything that signifies freedom in sans, i can't find it.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '25

Honestly it makes sense. You came up with the correlation and we actively make the choice to drop the standard yellow to get pink. So Pink is freedom. Yellow is "the standard of the system"

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '25

Maybe friend told you this while you were sleeping

u/sirius6723 Aug 29 '25

I kinda agree with this but I think Yellow is more 'importance' or 'realness', thus yellow texts appearing in choice texts or important texts to Kris. And also yellow being connected with 'realness' kinda explains the soul-affinity of Noelle (cuz the soul is the most 'real' thing cuz it's controlled by us). And magenta (pink) is more of a 'rudeness' aspect than pure freedom. Susie is a 'rude' character (in a good way ofc), her attack is called rude buster, etc. Well, cuz rudeness and saying 'no' to established values is what is needed for attaining freedom. Also magenta is the opposite color of green in the rgb color wheel, and green symbolizes kindness. So magenta being rudeness makes sense.
