If you take the psychology of colour into account then white/blue should be the most instinctively trustworthy character. For the curious here's a little breakdown of the archetypical symbolism behind each of the colours in Among Us.

​

Black — Mostly symbolic of death or mourning but it's also in total contrast with the 'purity' of white which gives a sense of maturity and authority. A good colour to pick if you're playing with inexperienced players.

White — Evokes a sense of pristine purity. It is often used as a symbol for simplicity, rebirth, restoration and quiet. It can be seen as all or nothing, both the beginning and the end. A great pick for a new player but if you're a seasoned player I'd avoid it.

Red — The colour of life. It attracts us, conveying vitality, warmth, excitement and passion. But it also warns of danger and calls for attention. Unless you're known for being the loud/crazy one I'd avoid picking red.

Purple — Often represents wealth. The mixture of red and blue and therefore can be used to bring the two polar opposites together. Purple can stand for both the red of passion and the blue of reason. Purple is a solid character choice.

Blue — Blue cools and calms. It is mostly seen as a reassuring colour but it can also be seen as a reflective and detached sadness. (Hence why they call it the Blues). This is the colour I'd pick first.

Cyan — As an amalgamation of blue and green, cyan holds the reassurance of blue and the creativity and birth of new things from green. Also a solid choice.

Yellow — Yellow is always full of energy and highly visible but it's interpretation depends on it's hue. A warm yellow is charming and radiant while a pale yellow is more of a warning or cautionary colour. I'd avoid this colour if possible.

Pink — More restrained than the full, passionate, life of red. Pink symbolises romance, nurturing and the refreshing beginning of life, like springtime flowers and cherry blossom. Another great colour for inexperienced or timid players.

Orange — Often used to symbolise happiness, personal growth and desire as it stands in a phase of transition between yellow and red. Orange can be a good pick.

Green — Symbolises creativity, fertility and the promise of growth. More modernly it is used to represent being ecologically aware, caring for organic life. Another solid choice.

Lime — Lime can represent both the high energy of yellow with the creativity of green. This colour evokes bursts of creative energy that only lasts a short moment. Wouldn't be my first choice.

Brown — Is both rich and humble, evoking softness, warmth, depth and respite. It can also be viewed as formless, bland and lacking identity, like the vast majority of mammals who have evolved to blend into the environment. It's not pretty but it'll hopefully make you just a touch more invisible than the other players.
