Goku (Dragon Ball Z)'s Color: An Overview
Son Goku from Dragon Ball Z is one of the most iconic anime characters ever created. His signature orange gi (training uniform) is instantly recognizable worldwide. The orange sits at a specific hue — warmer and more saturated than a typical orange, designed to pop against the blue belts and wristbands that complete his look. Goku also has several power-up forms, each with their own distinct color scheme.

The Color Theory Behind Goku (Dragon Ball Z)'s Look
Goku's orange gi sits at H:22°, S:95%, B:95% — a deep, vivid orange-red. At 22° on the hue wheel, it's decidedly orange but with enough red in it to feel powerful rather than playful. This distinguishes it from the friendlier oranges (30°+) used in characters like Homer Simpson. The blue undershirt at H:215° sits nearly opposite orange on the color wheel, creating strong complementary contrast.
Color Fun Fact
The orange and blue color combination for Goku's gi is not random — it's based on the traditional colors of shaolin martial arts uniforms from Chinese martial arts films that inspired Akira Toriyama when creating Dragon Ball.
