Green! Silver! Purple! What the colours of the new M-Net Series channels trifecta on television really mean and signify.

You're reading it here first.

M-Net's massive new expansion comes into effect today: the lineation of the singular M-Net Series channel into a trifecta of tiered channels for the M-Net Series brand: M-Net Series Showcase (DStv 113), M-Net Series Reality (DStv 114) and M-Net Series Zone (DStv 115).

But what do the colours of the individual new M-Net Series channels signify and invoke? Why is M-Net Series Showcase green? Why is M-Net Series Reality silver? Why is M-Net Series Zone purple?

I asked, and the pay-TV broadcaster who supplies the channels to MultiChoice's DStv satellite pay-TV platform, is explaining the rationale behind the look of the various new M-Net Series channel offerings.

"Three very different colours were chosen to depict the personality of the M-Net Series channels," says M-Net.

"The green colour of M-Net Series Showcase will remind viewers of the freshness of the content and the greath 'wealth' of great characters to be found on the channel,"says M-Net.

"The silver colour of M-Net Series Reality ties into the sparkle of reality shows and signals the positive attitude of the channel and content."

"The purple colour of M-Net Series Zone symbolises the passion which series lovers demonstrate and will remind fans that they will be able to watch their favourites in a condensed time frame," says M-Net.
