I was bored and started searching around for Naruto information to formulate a new theory, when I came across the official high-definition render of Naruto volume 51. This whole time I was under the impression that Sasuke's Susanoo was purple (as depicted by the Anime)

Until I saw the cover for this volume....

(this is the official render for the volume, not a low resolution image with incorrect color information)

Edit: I'd suggesting going to that Saiyan Island link to get a much better look at it.

To make sure I was correct about the color I used this tool called to check for the exact color. I used that in combination with this l to then name the color I'd found. It should be noted that I sampled the pixels that were best representative of what I saw and didn't test the pixels of black outline.

Results for Susanoo's Body:

Lighter colored areas Susanoo body: #ABBDE = Light Steel Blue

Darker colored areas of Susanoo body: #3B79B4 = Curious Blue

Results for Susanoo's Aura:

Lighter colored areas of Susanoo aura: #E6D9E2 = Prim, light violet

Darker colored areas of Susanoo aura: #87C0DD= Spray Blue

Conclusion:

Based on the only canon colouring of Sasuke's Susanoo, Kishi has made it a light blue color and not the deep purple that is suggested by the anime. Though the "Prim" colored parts of Sasuke's Susanoo's aura is a very little violet ;)

It was retconned, just like how Madara's was red, then blue.

Madara's Susanoo was never red...

That was just fans guessing the color.

And there was no retconn here, this is the only official coloring of Sasuke's Susanoo as far as I've seen.

Sasuke's Susano'o is displayed as purple in all the anime and games. It is purple.

Only manga is canon.

Do you really think Kishi would allow them to portray it as Purple if it wasn't? Sasuke's Susano'o is purple. Anime is canon in the fact that it gives us color adaptions of scenes, since Manga is black and white.

This happens all the time in anime. The involvement of any mangaka in an anime for their manga is virtually non-existent.

The anime colored Itachi's Susanoo before the manga, but despite that, Kishi still made Itachi's Susanoo yellow/golden.

Edit: Another example is the number of fingers Susanoo has in the manga vs anime. In the manga its always been depicted with 6 fingers (on each hand), but despite this the anime changed it to 5 fingers. Does that mean Susanoo has 5 fingers instead of 6?

if you want to look like a dumbass and say it's blue, I won't argue with that.

It's portrayed as Purple, so it's purple.

It's portrayed as purple in non-canon material.

It's portrayed as blue in the only canon material (the manga).

Get over it.

Is Itachi's Susanoo red because the anime and games say so? Despite the manga showing that's it's yellow? Don't think so.

agreeeeed..........
Anime and games aren't canon.

So Sasuke has the same color Susano'o as Madara? Lol
