This actually reminds me of something I've been wondering for some time. Basically, is there any consistent logic to the colour/magic-type correlation? Or is it more of a: "Whelp! This colour hair looks good on him... I guess his kind of runewriting is associated with this colour now."?

IT'S A BIT OF BOTH actually!

There is a consistent logic in-world -- anyone with form magic gets green hair, for example; Sev is a shapechanger so he gets green hair, if there were a character that could transform objects Edward-Elric-style they'd also get green hair, etc.

But as for "WHY is form magic green", MY META-REASONING VARIES. Sev and Jonan were the first characters I invented, WAYYYY before I knew what I was doing with the world -- Sev was given green hair before I knew why it was significant ("HE'S MAGICAL, HE GETS WEIRD HAIR"), and Jonan was given red hair before I even knew what kind of magic he had (I think originally he could pretty much do anything, so let's all be grateful he's slightly less of a Mary Sue now). The other types followed later, after I'd assigned those two to their magic types and decided that each type of magic should have a different colour, so after that it was less about matching specific characters and more about developing the world!
