I did consider that, but felt it sounded too similar to Seijuu Sentai Gingaman

Connection Detective, Tantei Red!
Records Detective, Tantei Yellow!
Science Detective, Tantei Green!
Mindset Detective, Tantei Blue!
Talking Detective, Tantei Pink!
Network Detective, Tantei Orange!
Detail Detective, Tantei Violet!
Seeking truth and justice! Chosa Sentai, Tanteiger!

The name means "Investigation Team Detective-ger," and they're a team of private detectives, each a genius in a different field of investigation (Yellow takes photos and looks at records, Green analyzes samples from the crime scene, Blue figures out how criminals think, Pink interviews suspects and witnesses, Orange listens for rumors and gossip, Violet catches details others don't notice, and Red puts it all together to find the answer), who investigate cases beyond the reach of the police. Usually their cases turn out to involve otherworldly criminals who reveal their true monstrous forms when caught, and the major villains are an otherworld mafia family who hire out their footsoldiers as muscle for other criminals and sell the drug the MotWs use to become giant, among other crimes.

Where the gray suits come in is that the season's aesthetics are heavily inspired by film noir with a dash of cyberpunk (which historically also takes a lot of inspiration from noir). The set and costume design for heroes, villains and civilians alike all uses an intentionally limited color palette with mostly grayscale to make the splashes of color pop more, and the rangers' equipment blends advanced tech with a retro feel: Their suits look like business suits with fedora bands for the visors (I'm also gonna cheat a little and say they have colored neckties as well), the power-up gives them trenchcoats, their weapon is a revolver and their mecha are styled like classic cars. Narrations like the "previously" and "next time" segments are done in the style of a noir detective's internal monologue, usually by Red but sometimes by another character. Sometimes the filming even goes fully black-and-white for dramatic effect, with color digitally re-added to the colored parts of the rangers.

Red, yellow, pink, white and black, with an orange sixth. Topic: music.

‘Till this day we still have no videogame-themed sentai series, unless you count Megaranger due to its background as being fighting game character that “come to life”, so to speak. I was thinking for a seriously videogamed-theme tho. Like a Sentai Ex-Aid. We have red, blue, green, etc. (can’t think of others ngl). Each ranger is based on a game genre, e.g red = fighting games, blue = JRPGs, green = shooting games/FPS.

The main villain group is based on horror games. Then for a twisty ending, in the last episode, it turns out that the entire series events is just a level-builder a la Super Mario Maker or Happy Wheels and a city-builder a la Cities Skyline and SimCity by God. Lol.

I was thinking White could fit Racing (The Stig), Purple is Western RPG (think Mass Effect or KOTOR, the sci-fi to Blue's fantasy), Orange is Rhythm (think Guitar Hero or Dance Dance Revolution) and Pink could be a wild card like Platformers or Puzzle Games.

I think, considering that we are talking about Sentai, pink will be made into a dating simulator.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
Johin Red on violin!
Johin Yellow on trumpet!
Johin Pink on flute!
Johin White on drums!
Johin Black on piano!
And featuring Johin Orange on guitar!
We proudly present the saviors of song, Senritsu Sentai Johinger!

The name means "Melody Team Elegant-ger," five (later six) seemingly ordinary people who one day hear a strange song that nobody around them seems to notice, calling them for help. Following the sound leads them to each other, and to Mirady, a princess from Zymphonis, a magical world powered by the music of its inhabitants' hearts. She fled to Earth when the tyrannical General Deathcord seized power, but now he's set his sights on Earth as well, sending his knights over to steal the music from human hearts. But as fate would have it, a set of five treasures Mirady brought with her in her escape resonate with the hearts of the five who heard her song, giving them the power to become the saviors of song!

These colors remind me of an orchestra in a high-class concert hall, so the music motif is specifically classical music, although Orange brings in some rock-n-roll. It heavily influences the soundtrack, although it could mix in a bit of other genres as appropriate, and the team's weapons are themed on their instruments (Red has a violin shield and bow sword, Yellow a trumpet shotgun, Pink a flute rifle, White a drum hammer, Black a piano greatsword, and Orange a guitar axe) while their mecha are humanoid robots with their instruments built-in. The fight scenes are also highly choreographed and graceful, almost like ballet.

Player Red! [Hotshot Brawler] / Player Red Highscore! [Hotshot All Stars]
Player Blue! [Princess Quest]
Player Green! [Sniper's War]
Player Violet! [Galaxy Pilot]
Player Orange! [Rockin' Stars]
Player Pink! [Mystery Lover]
Player White! [High Speed Champ]
Games to bring hope to everyone! Tokuten Sentai Playranger!

Player Dark! [zOmBiE iNvAsIoN] (black)
A game to share my despair with everyone! Tokuten Shitai Player Dark!
/ Player Black! [Zombie Savior]
A game to save myself from despair! Tokuten Shitai Player Black!

Player God! [UTOPIA BUILDER] (gold)
My game rules everyone and everything! Tokuten Tentei Player God!

The name means "Score Team Play-ranger," but cheating a little with the individual ranger names to be Player. Player Dark replaces sentai with "corpse" and Player God replaces it with "god," assuming my translation is correct. Also, in the role call, the [bracketed text] isn't said by the rangers themselves but by their transformation devices.

Players Red through Pink are each the all-time greatest player at their respective games, who just so happen to bear striking similarities to those games' main characters. They're recruited by a mysterious old man to fight the iconic villain of Zombie Invasion who's somehow escaped into the real world (although when they face the villain directly, he seems more lonely than evil). Eventually the villain gains the power to become Player Dark, forcing the old man to become Player White to give the team a fighting chance, but even then they're unable to kill Player Dark because as a zombie he'll just keep coming back...

Finally, Player Red realizes that Player Dark just wants someone to play with him, and after repeatedly fighting to get through to him (no easy instant friendship here), Red is able to befriend and redeem Dark... only for a high-tech godlike being to descend, reveal that it set this whole thing up to amuse itself, and throw a tantrum because Red was supposed to completely destroy Dark, not be his friend! It transforms into Player God and announces its intent to wipe out the Playrangers and start the game over, but the newly-redeemed Player Black teams up with the heroes in a climactic final boss battle!
