To add to the confusion...
I always thought that in Crisis, Sylia's suit was a light grey or 
off-white with a greenish tint and blue visor/trim.  And in Crash, it was a 
light grey or off-white with a blueish tint and blue visor/trim... O.o
    It's a bluish-greenish tint. Mostly blue, but in the right lighting,
it's more of a greenish (very light sea green).
Okay Ben, I know you said earlier that in BGC#1 her suit was a VERY pale
blue in *normal* light in one scene, but . . .
     It is the same light blue in all other *NATURAL* (pure white light,
like sunlight) light situations.

I seem to recall seeing Sylia in various lighting situations that tint her
suit to
various shades of pale blue, light green and light red, but like my friend's
white drum kit, this is a peculiarity of the colour white; it will "take on"
hints of any coloured light thrown at it. The colour white is not really a
colour actually, but the result of all the colours of the spectrum. If you
think about these observations for a moment it makes perfect sense as Sylia
is the leader of the KS, while Nene (primarily RED by BGC#8), Priss (BLUE)
and Linna (GREEN) represent the three primary colours that *could* symbolize
all of
the possible colour combinations, that when combined create white. I'd like
to give the BGC creators credit for such a fun little idea but we all know that
Nene's suit wasn't red until BGC#8. So it took them a while. Perhaps it's
symbolic that this didn't happen until #8, when the rest of the Knight
Sabers finally see Nene "in a different light" <GG>
     Well, first off, I agree with your analysis of the color white.
However, there are a few goofs. First, in a natural light (sunlight is one
of the best sources of natural light), the color white is white. (Actually,
white is a color, by definition. It is a just not a primary color).
Secondly, *ANY* three colors can be used as the three primary colors, it's
just common to use red, green, and blue in light displays (such as TV's).
     Finally, it's kinda irrelevant as to what the creators of BGC ment the
colors of the suits to symbolize considering that Sylia's suit *IS* faintly
blue. Regardless of their intentions, the suit is bluish, not pure white.
