For me, Plato and the Platonists have always been different shades of blue to purple.

Aristotle is more orange. Aquinas is in between.

Most Patristics are blue too. Eriugena is deep blue nearing black, Dionysius too.

Hegel is green.

Kant is sort of colorless, like his noumenal shadow world.

I think of the post-moderns as gaudy bright colors. Nietzche is black though.

The Empiricists and analytics are very muted colors, while the Platonists and Patristics are deep, abyssal.

I tend to think of the Hindu thinkers I am familiar with as more reddish and orange, of yellow.
