It was said that a person's color changed constantly when they were young, but would begin to settle into the person's dominant emotional spectrum as they aged. Most people wavered between colors, and very few had what it took to actually utilize their power to do more than create a pretty glow in the dark.
Nami knew she would never be able to do more than read with her light under the covers at night... but when Arlong came she couldn't even do that anymore.
She clothed herself in orange, letting it flare in her eyes and across her fingers. The fishmen never caught even a whiff of the yellow hiding beneath her skin.
Sometimes, usually when sitting beside her mother's grave, a green spark would ghost across her heart, giving her the strength to keep going. She would free her home from the pirate's rule, and if it meant never letting her emotions waiver from the pit of greed, then so be it.
Then she met an infuriating boy in a straw hat, and her facade cracked. Nami strained against it, trying so hard to stop the flickers of indigo she felt for her companions show on her skin. It all finally came tumbling down as she sat defeated in the middle of the road, bloody, and tearstained.
"Luffy, help me!" she wept.
His eyes glowed blue, the same blue which always wove through the boy's determination, but purer, stronger, this time. "Of course," he stated, and the blue darkened to deepest emerald, then beyond- lighter and brighter to-
Suddenly she could believe in miracles again, and know with certainty that Arlong was going down.

A/N: So this is a kind of character study looking at a 'what if' scenario. Basically, people in the OP world all have visible emotional spectrums, which in the case of very strong individuals can be used like the rings of the DCU's Lantern Corps. In case you coundn't tell, this is based off the ring's powers and spectra.
Here's a breakdown of what the color's mean. More interesting info can be found on the DCU page about the Lantern Corps.
Red: Rage
Orange: Greed
Yellow: Possessed by people who are afraid, or have the ability to cause much fear. Can only be beat by green.
Green: Will, determination
Blue: Hope. Can only have the full extent of their abilities unlocked in the presence of a green.
Indigo: Compassion. Can exert their will on and control others.
Violet: Love, or someone denied love.
Black: Death.
