..Metal, i'm sorry, but that is a very flawed argument..

Colors do not dream. That's just wrong. People seem to think that because color give life to Toads and such, and also gave life to Peach, and thus colors can dream. Assuming that color can dream becaose of that is simply stupid, sorry for saying that.

Colors give indeed people life in Color Splash..But that's about it. '''I mean, it should be obvious that because someone is alive is thus sentient. However, that does not mean that colors give sentience, it allows people to be alive, but when people are alive it's obvious that they are sentient.

The main point is, the "colors can dream" stuff can only apply to beings that are actually sentient. Of course, Toad have their own will, desires and stuff, so if you drain themselves from their life (color), it's obvious that they become nothing more than a dead body (which was showed in Color Splash).

However, if you drain sea from its life (color), the sea will indeed become a dead body, but nothing will change at all, because the sea isn't sentient, you simply drain it from its color.

And please, don't mention the fact that sea can actually move, because sea can't move, the " Ferocity''' " of the sea depends on many things, like meteorological climate and activity and etc.

For example, there was a gigantic coin that was drained from its "life", and wasn't yellow anymore, but rather became white as it was a dead body. When Mario gave life to it again, nothing changed, except for the fact that now the coin is yellow.

And that applies to everything that pretty much isn't Toads. And Peach, as showed in the final boss.

The info about the black paint being sentient is not exactly the best either, as we see that it can only possess people..Does it mean it is sentient? Not at all. In fiction, there are many machines that can possess/control people's mind that aren't sentient. Assuming this isn't the case of the black paint without info is simply wrong.
