Do the four winds need to be visually distinctive from each other in some way, or are they mostly interchangeable? You could pick color palettes based on the types of settings those winds would be found in — a gentle breeze might have a tropical, warm blue; harsh winter winds are silver and pale blue; the heavy winds that bring in the often-stagnant spring storms clouds are heavy and purple, charcoal or black, whereas the the sleepy winds that push around those brief summer torrents are heavy but perhaps dappled with the oranges and purples that trail behind them in the skies. You may also want to consider that idea of movement and make it a dynamic part of the set or costume — fluttery strips of light silk or chiffon that amplify every movement around them. Maybe subtlety is the key, here…if the words and actions of the winds will inform everyone that they’re the winds, maybe the costumes only need to hint at that with flowy fabrics and movement and can devote other elements (color, shape, etc) to developing the personification that each individual wind character takes on in the play? (Does that make sense? lol)
