I don't know quite where I heard that, but it's an interesting idea. Even if healing aether always LOOKS green in-game and so on.Having a character who can see aether, I'll just tell you how I do it
Also, people change over time... so if they do have colored/aspected aether, would they be stuck with that or could it change under certain stimuli?
 It's not set in stone, but it seems to be something that works well for everyone who has RPed with me regarding it.I mostly have gone by what I see in game when it comes to the storylines, game spells and mechanics, etc. If aether is like energy that's used for many things including those of magical devices, you can see how it can take on different colors. Elemental monsters seem to all have colors to their elemental aspect, and certain areas of magic carry colors as well.
Like most things Void related tend to be darker purples, the Ascians more black, healing has lighter blues and greens, etc.
Now then.Â
I usually leave it up to people to decide but if they need help I let them know I base it off a lot of factors: if they have any elemental alignments, specialties in magic, curses, aether related sicknesses, as well as personality. These all can affect the color of the light while the intensity of that light is based on how much aether they have. The more you have, the brighter you appear to someone like Lili.
Added note: I also think it's completely plausible for IC changes to the character to affect their aether.
