I don't know if Eldritch Blast is actually a unique color, but in my head it has always been an eerie shade of purple or green.

    Having recently started reading Discworld, I am now contractually obligated to inform you that the color word you're looking for is octarine.

    If I remember it's description right it's a blast of the power of your god

    So whatever color your god/you want it to be, I'd imagine. Had a friend do tentacles that burst forward and slapped the shit out of enemies for hers.

    I could check the sourcebook to confirm but that's a whole different app to switch to...

    I only have the SRD available right now and that describes it as "a beam of crackling energy" but yeah, this is far too attractive a stylistic opportunity to not make use of it.

    Besides, "crackling energy" is pretty broad already and leaves room for a variety of colors, sounds, and particle effects. Going from there to "magical 120ft tentacle that disappears after a second" isn't that much to ask for.

    One time, I flavored my EB by throwing mystical coins to my targets. I was playing a failed merchand that sold his soul for an edge.
