Thank you for this theory for establishing the main concept. https://twitter.com/nctclubvn/status/1255153967148838912?s=19
Primary Colors (Red, Blue, Yellow)
- the basic colors
-when combined, can make different colors
-in nct's world it is a cycle
How is it a cycle?

Cycle
-it can be evidently seen on 127's albums which goes to the pattern red, yellow, blue
How about the other units? We'll talk about that later. Its important to know first what is the meaning of the colors per cycle.

1. Red
-it means Beginning
-the start of the cycle
Examples:
Exhibit A, Album Covers
127- Fire Truck
DREAM- The First (in which its font color is in Red)

Exhibit B, NCT U
-being the FIRST unit of NCT
-the U in the logo is in RED FONT
-The 7th Sense MV is heavily color graded to Red

Exhibit D, The Flag
-from the introduction video of NCT titled "The Origin"
-the Kid planted the red flag on the sand which signifies the beginning

Exhibit E, NCTmentary
-Ep.2 titled Switch
-when you searched the numbers written, they are all color Red=beginning of their dream

On the movie The Matrix, Neo took the Red pill which free his mind to the dream world. Hence, the truth of the real reality. How about the blue pill? The blue pill will lead Neo back to ignorance and will keep on living in confined comfort. This is the same with NCT's world.
2. Blue
-confined comfort
-ignorance
-"dreaming" hence blue colors are evidently seen for NCT Dream
Exhibit A, Chewing Gum MV
-heavy blue tones
-kids living together in a dorm with strict rules
-confined comfort
-ignorance
-"dreaming" hence blue colors are evidently seen for NCT Dream

Exhibit C, We Young Era
-"Cause we wanna have fun, Cause we Hot and We Young"
-Blue tones
-talks about breaking free. Free from what? Free from dreaming to go to reality.
-"Cause we wanna have fun, Cause we Hot and We Young"
-Blue tones

TL;DR
Red=127=Woke up to Reality
Blue=Dream=Stuck in Dreaming
We go with Yellow, next.

I forgot to add in BLUE
Exhibit D, Regular Dream
-started of with white colors
-when the vid hit the 1:27 mark, it switched colors to Blue, hence we got "Irregular Office"

Basically, 127 starts their cycle with Red while DREAM started their cycle with Blue.
YELLOW
-neither real(red) or matrix(blue)
-simulation
-if you watch The Matrix movie, Neo undergoes to different simulations to learn and what he can do to improve his capabilities when he's in the Matrix.

Exhibit A, Kick It MV
-inspired by a scene in The Matrix where Neo is in a Karate Simulation
-heavy yellow tones throughout the whole MV

Exhibit B, Boom MV
-slight hint of yellow tones but there are scenes where they have powers like controlling items, duplication, etc.
-there is also a simulation on going with fencing & boxing

Now the cycle is complete! We have the real world (red), dream (blue), simulation (yellow). In conclusion, 127 is always going on a cycle, experimenting, dream lab remember? They always do trial and error. How about on other units? Where is the DREAM now? And Wayv?
For NCT DREAM, they went back to start. Reload remember? The first album after the re-organization news was released
Reload
-load again
-DREAM will go back to the beginning, and what color does beginning symbolises? Yup, its red.

Now where does Wayv fit in this narrative?
Remember this first teaser of the icon? The logo is made of gold right?

And of course how could anyone forget this as well?
Wayv started off with evident Gold tones
Wayv started off with evident Gold tones
GOLD
-portrays the world of machines in The Matrix movie
-a different world than the humans
Which makes sense since Wayv is in a different world than the rest of NCT

Exhibit A, Moonwalk MV
-heavy gold tones
-you can see the machines with some members on the MV
-they seem to be on space

Exhibit B, Take Off MV
-iconic "can i be honest? i so hate to be controlled" line means they wanna break free thus they'll take off to another world to have a new beginning (red tones)
-machine were also evident on the MV
-iconic "can i be honest? i so hate to be controlled" line means they wanna break free thus they'll take off to another world to have a new beginning (red tones)
-machine were also evident on the MV
Exhibit C, Regular MV
-wayv's first MV (some red tones can be seen)
-the presence of machines is very evident meaning they came from the machine world
-wayv's first MV (some red tones can be seen)
-the presence of machines is very evident meaning they came from the machine world
Exhibit D, Awaken The World + Turn Back Time
-just like DREAM with Reload they wanna go back to the beginning, thus there are a lot of red tones
-just like DREAM with Reload they wanna go back to the beginning, thus there are a lot of red tones
Since primary colors when combined creates a lot of colors, thus when NCT becomes one they make a black color and rainbows form. Hence, we got Empathy (rainbow) with title track Black on Black and the nct 2020 logo having black colors with header of color range.
Oh I forgot, the blue and yellow pills on TBT. Since we know the meanings of Blue and Yellow, its possible that Wayv is giving an option whether to take the Blue pill (ignorance) or Yellow pill (simulation) but what if there's a Red pill (reality) and they all took it?

TL;DR
NCT is composed of different colors. Prominent ones are Red (reality), Blue (dream), Yellow (simulation) for these composes a cycle which they experiment with the dream lab where they all connect to.

And that's the end of the NCT Color Theory! I might add more if I saw some hints.
I hope you enjoyed reading it and didn't get bored!
