Imagine I give you several opaque cups and you can’t see the color. If you can successfully identify them all by taste alone, you don’t win anything, just have an old dude telling you he’s pretty impressed.

    Probably not. I only associate them with colors. Red is for health, blue is for mana, green is stamina.

        Game UI convention seems to have settled on green for stamina. Skyrim, Zelda, Dark Souls, Tunic etc. There’s a YT video examining why mana is blue and the same reasons apply here I think. It’s basic color theory. Red was already taken as the obvious choice for HP since it’s the color of blood. Blue contrasts with red and green stands out from the other two.

        As for Gatorade, the white one gives you frost damage reduction. Same with orange for fire and yellow for lightning.

        There was a flavor of Powerade back in the 90s called jagged ice that was really dark blue. I loved it and wish it were still around. Maybe it gives you underwater breathing.
