When you’re a fan of superheroes, you become aware of certain patterns in costume coloration. Superman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman all rock the red and royal blue, while every single movie hero has variations of black, at least until the Avengers. Iron Man’s red-and-gold coloration makes it clear that he’s the modern-day knight, even when the gold is replaced with silver, and fans of Super Sentai known the rules: Red for leader; Blue for thinker/lancer; Pink for gentle; Green for clown. Those rules aren’t always hard and fast, (as the Green Ranger/DragonRanger seen above will attest) but they recur enough that it’s clear someone has a preference, which leads to today’s multi-chromatic query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) favors red, or red and black, for reasons I’ve never been able to articulate, but boil down to “Look cool, brah!”, asking: What would YOUR color of power be?

Burnt Sienna!
That explains your superhero name, the Large Chunkarock!
Green (or sometimes grey) with purple (ripped) pants. :)
Probably navy blue. Olive green as second.
It has been various colors over the years. Green pops up a lot (thanks to Green Lantern, the original Green Power Ranger as well as various Sentai Green Rangers I liked, Ninja Turtles, certain incarnations of Kamen Rider, Twi’leks and other characters that are green or have green costumes or armor), as does Black (because as Batman and supermodels know, black goes with EVERYTHING).
Right now, I kinda want to say pink because it is my dream to be the first non Gokai change male Sentai Pink that isn’t an ancestor or descendant of the main Sentai Pink of an existing team.
But realistically, I think it would more likely be black (with white accents) as a sort of yin-yang motif with my best friend as the opposite. She and I are very different people, but we balance each other out and protect each other and others from the worst aspects of ourselves.
Silver, is always a color I like, and I think could have some good combinations to play with using it as a base.
Electric Blue.
Glowing purple’d look cool, I think.
