In tabulating responses from the three different places where I posed this question, it was interesting to note the things that folks latched onto as being benchmarks for each of the three genres. But the top responses were: science fiction – grey/silver, blue, and green or black (tie); fantasy – green, yellow, and brown or white (tie); and horror – red, black, and grey (red and black were given by every single person).

Now, I just need to see if I can actually weave this into a theme.
