Zopwx2 Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 what color is spice. In the game its orange (which i like the best) in one of the movies its green. In the books its described as having a cinnimon flavor and smell. What is its consistensy (pardon my spelling) before and after refinement. A fine powder or a clumpy one. Also is it eaten, snorted, or what. Exluding things like spice beer and countless other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Well to the best of my knowledge it's a brown-orange. Like dark orange? Somewhere along that line. Its consistency is probably clumpy when it is fresh from the spice flower, but then Fremen take it and grind it into a fine powder. And it's ate/drank, except for those lil pesky teenage fremen who think snorting it gives you powers to see things beyond normal colors (woah look at the lights man) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Green? Where was that?Acricku is correct, although the remark about the teenagers seems to belong in a certain thread in General... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Nema: It was a green-grey colour in the miniseries.I like the brown-orange depiction the best. Any other colour contrasts with the desert too much. In the DE, it's blue, and that just sounds dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 I do believe spice essence is blue in the books. I kinda like the idea of blue. though in the books I do agree that it is orange. Remember the dust cloud that was spewed out by the miner around the orange spice field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acriku Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 It's an idea on the encyclopedia made by simply a fan, Dr somethingoranother.It's compiled from over a 100 or so articles and groups of interestingly put words :P Not a source for fact-finding, but a good read if you like to think "What if..."
