If I identified everything as having a color based on its innards then Thelodica would be red, and just about every vertebrate on planet Earth would also be red. But I don't say peacocks are red because of their entrails, I say they are blue because of their feathers.
Thelodica is yellow.
Thats the worst argument ever. Peacocks dont use EM-guns.
I also think of Industrial as being a yellow-brown color, so having Thelodica so close to it just doesnt make sense in my mind. I have only used Thelodica for intakt back in the day, and even then I considered it a red bot, but it wasnt really discussed in the matter so it was only in my mind mostly. Every thing that relates other players to them is red. When you're out and about you're generally so far zoomed out that you cant even see the color on most of the bots, and the main reference is the icon, which is predominantly red. The Asintec icon is red, yellow, and green, but the red is a much stronger color than yellow/orange. (Tru-Markson is red and blue actually, but thats the only variation on their color scheme).
I'd argue that the color you are most often exposed to in relation to Thelodica is red, and not yellow, and thats what solidifies in your mind. Maybe it comes down most to what your first exposure to it was: Maybe you were Thelodica and always zoomed in close to your bot so you saw the color more and saw yellow a lot. I, on the other hand, was not. And Dyson, I'm not often exposed to the entrails of most animals, but I dont know if I can say the same for you.
