Prussia should be prussian blue on the map.
That's all really, have a good day, thanks for reading.

EDIT:Also I messed up the title of the thread, it should say EU4, not just 4... can that be fixed somehow?

I think that Prussia is not blue becouse the Prusian blue was used in the holocaust or something like that.

No, it was not used because there is too much blue already (France, sweden, Muenster, which tends to be big quite often).

About the prussian blue and holocaust: first, it's hardly a well known fact.
Secondly, it's associated with holocaust because there was NOT traces of prussian blue on the walls of gas chambers, and there should be some (I really don't feel strong enough in chemistry to try to explain it.). The holocaust deniers used it as their proof. And there really should be, and, as later reserch proved, there in fact was (the first sampling was too big, they took a big chunk of brick, whereas PB was only within the frst 10 microns of the wall. Since the examination shown unsignificant percentage of PB).
Third, it's a bit more commonly associated with holocaust because a neo-nazi band used it as their name.

true, but did they have to make it the ugliest color possible...
Also they have no problem with the 50 thousand blurples in game, and does munster HAVE to be blue?

I can find indications that their uniforms were blue, but for national colors, their flags are all mostly black and white.

The etymology of the name Prussian Blue doesn't give an indication that it's related to their national colors either.

Even without Munster, there's still Sweden and France. So if Prussia was a shade of blue, you'd have three blue countries right next to each other.
the shades would be different enough to notice, and when the player forms prussia it's only a matter of time until their neighbors are the same color why not just speed up the process

I do not see logic behind this being the answer, I mean have you seen europe? it is just full of red-ish coloured countries. Plus Prussian blue is quite a distinctive colour, I can not see how it could be mixed up with France or Sweden.

Burgundy, Gelre, Brandenburg, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Livonian Order, Serbia, Albania, Byzantium, Aragon, Florence, Milan, Memmingen, Magdeburg, Anhalt, Holstien, Georgia, England, East Frisia, Holland, Munster, Mantua, Mazovia and Ragusa. There are probably a few more but I am sure you get my point.

I was always under the impression that Prussia was never Prussian blue because Johan does not like Prussian blue.
