Ace Attorney Onion Headlines, part 10 - Holy Shit I've Made 100 Of These edition.
At this point I'm just taking a note every time I see another Onion headline that fits an AA character/scenario so I guess I'm just gonna keep doing these gradually indefinitely.

hi! i was reading your pinned post and it made me think - what color(s) are each of the aa main characters' theme songs! :0
Synesthesia question yippee!!!!! Here are all main character themes from the games I’ve played <3 so far I’ve done AA1 through AA4 as well as both Investigations games~
Phoenix Wright (Objection! 2001): G minor—dark green
Phoenix Wright (Objection! 2002): F minor—gray-blue
Phoenix Wright (Objection! 2004): D minor—sea green
Maya Fey (Turnabout Sisters 2001/2002): A♭ major—purple (roughly the same shade as her haori <3)
Miles Edgeworth (Great Revival): F minor—gray-blue
Franziska von Karma (Great Revival): G minor—dark green (though it’s worth noting that the Great Revival themes despite being in minor use a lot of borrowed harmonies from the major mode that end up brightening the overall color a little)
Dick Gumshoe (It’s Detective Gumshoe/I can do it when it counts, pal!): C minor—sea blue
Ema Skye (Turnabout Sisters 2005): C major—yellow
Ema Skye (Scientific Detective): G major—pink
Pearl Fey (Pearly Questioning): F major—cerulean
Godot (The Fragrance of Black Coffee): D major—green
Larry Butz (When Something Smells, It’s Usually Me): G mixolydian—yellow (but some sections sound blue due to borrowed flat harmonies)
Apollo Justice (Objection! 2007): G# minor—dark magenta
Trucy Wright (Child of Magic): D major—green
Klavier Gavin (Guilty Love): E♭ major—royal blue
Kay Faraday (The Great Truth Burglar): A minor—light gray
Shi-Long Lang (Speak Up, Pup!): E minor—gold
Raymond Shields (Joking Motive): A minor—light gray (with additional analysis available here if you’re interested :3)
Justine Courtney (Goddess of Law): F minor—gray-blue
Gregory Edgeworth (A Defense Attorney’s Knowledge): C major -> C minor—yellow -> sea blue
Sebastian Debeste (First-Class Reasoning): C major -> F major -> G major—yellow -> cerulean -> pink
Sebastian Debeste (A First-Class Farewell): G minor—dark green
You'll notice that not all colors necessarily match the character's color schemes. This is because while sometimes a character design can influence my synesthetic experiences (which is a whole other conversation in and of itself), they are still primarily based on the key of the theme itself—so a character theme in C major, for example, will always sound yellow regardless of which character it's meant to represent. This is both a blessing and a curse as sometimes the synesthetic color/mood will match a character perfectly whereas other times it will be completely off the mark. But it is still a very fun thing regardless—thank you for the ask!
