damage and colors

[LordSith]

Hi,

I noticed different colors for damage:
- green acid
- purple for sound
- red for weapon
- orange for fire

Then i also noticed that orange is the color for electricity and cold.
Why?
Why not use ice-blue for cold and dark blue (or white) for electricity ?

I don't get how the colors work in the current setup.

Green is for acid damage and ability loss, purple for sonic damage, and orange for the other energy damage types (fire, cold, shock).

There are also different icons for holy/unholy/chaotic damage and healing.

As for why... because I like it?
