Re: [Outside of Apus]
Mm... colors'll be easiest. Teams are made up of people, and while a lot of 'em will fit words like "strong" or "loyal" or "quiet," it doesn't always describe everyone on that team. Everyone brings their own strength to the group without losing their distinct personalities.
I gave you our colors... the other teams in the cove are Hydra, in bright green, and Vulpecula, in orange. South of the cove are Canis, the darker blue, and their partners Ursa, in dark brown, and Cepheus--dark purple--with Lacerta--dark green.
North along the wall here are Corvus and Lynx--theirs are reddish-purple and gray. A little further north are Monoceros and Lepus, white and tan.
And over north of the cove are Orion, with yellow, and Cetus, in bright blue-green, just to the other side of the lake.
