Red and black are very powerful colors that go nicely together. They also both (again referring to DHD for this sort of thing) are used to imply a serious nature. Red is passionate and dangerous, while black carries the obvious connotations of death and oftentimes evil.
That could work well for what he wants to present to the world: someone you don't want to mess with. Someone who can break you in half if you cross them (and Berrod being a MNK, he probably could). Do you think those colors fit Berrod as a character, too?
... I just wanna know if I'm thinking too much about this, but that may already be a given.

I'm on the Luke Skywalker path here; He started wearing White armor, and his dyes have been getting dimmer and dimmer.
Grey's a good choice from what I understand of Warren as a character, and a bit of what I infer from him. It can imply dull and moody or even depressing if used in excess. However, it can apparently also imply calm, understated confidence... which I've picked up several times in our RPs. I agree that grey is a very "Warren" color.

Ruru has generally shifted to an all black motif as matches his general disposition anymore. Blacks and dark greys.
Melodia. Simple. Blue. Blue. Blue. Oh did someone say Blue? If you were selling pots of Storm Blue dye, I may have purchased some from you. Every outfit has that color somewhere in it. It's coordinated with her hair
Haha, glad you like the topic idea.
Black/Grey seems to have a overlapping feeling of elegance, as well as the things I mentioned above. Many folks look quite dapper in blacks and greys.
Blue, as I mentioned with Chachan, can be a very reflective color. The page also assigns it to intellectualism, delicacy and daintiness, and intuitive understanding. Oh, and royalty, of course.
... Also, if anyone else has good color meaning links, please feel free to share. It feels odd using just a home decoration link as my point of reference.
