Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've seen pictures where he is purple, black and like a midnight blue. Me and some friends keep arguing on what colour he is, so does anyone know what his true colour is?

His costume is black. The purple and blue are just highlights, stylistic choice of the colorist. (Like when you see a black-haired character with blue highlights.)

I thought everyone that reads marvel comics already knows it's a black symbiote ?

Obviously he didn't, or he wouldn't have asked. Nobody knows everything.

The Venom symbiote is black black black. Blue and other colors are just lights.

Which makes absolutely no sense. If something were realistically black, it'd have grey or while highlights. That's the reason why I have trouble saying he's black. If it were supposed to be looked at realistically and with common sense, he'd actually be really, really dark blue, but he's not and I've grown accept it.

I never claimed it made sense. In fact, it bothered me a lot too. That's just how artists did it in the 90s. It's not so common anymore. I would speculate that it has something to do with the different coloring methods of the time, but that's just a guess.

Oh, no. I know you never said it made sense. I was just... pointing out the obvious, I guess. sweatdrop
he's black. neutral

the bluish tints are highlights and light source to give the character definition and depth. it helps to define muscle and round out certain areas rather than llok like a flat 2 dimensional character.

Technically, its any color it needs to be. Doesn't the symbiote have chameleon properties?

Technically the symbiote can take on the look and appearance of practically anything... So it's "color" is whatever... But it's original color is suppose to be black; with different artists choosing to shade it differently every now and again to be of bluish/purplish design...
