I decided to make this post followers only to put a little barrier between AI content scrapers and this information. Here's hoping it works, because I don't have the spoons to do much more.

I envision the 13 colors of the main cycle as a cycle, loop, or circle, even though they correspond to a line through my body with ends far below and above, and two points that can move because they're my hands. I also envision a flow from one of the listed directions to another in sequence, giving another way the colors can be connected. More than one thing can be true at the same time.

The third way of understanding the colors as a sequence, the expanding and contracting coil, progresses through a sequence of drawing energy in:

• Nowhere (Grey)
• Everywhere (Rainbow)
• Throughout (Copper)
• Above (Gold) and Below (Silver) simultaneously
• Without (Black)
• Around (Brown)
• Receiving hand's direction (Pink)
• South (Red)
• East (Yellow)
• North (Green)
• West (Dark Blue)
• Behind (Purple)
• Before (Orange)
• Within (White)
• Projecting hand's direction (Light Blue)

Then the sequence reverses:

• Receiving hand's direction (Pink)
• South (Red)
• East (Yellow)
• North (Green)
• West (Dark Blue)
• Behind (Purple)
• Before (Orange)
• Within (White)
• Projecting hand's direction (Light Blue)
• Around (Brown)
• Without (Black)
• Above (Gold) and Below (Silver) simultaneously
• Throughout (Copper)
• Everywhere (Rainbow)
• Nowhere (Grey)

Consider how you might replicate these cycles with your own colors, or whether it makes sense to cycle in a different way.

In addition to these correspondences, I'm working on finding an art tool or supply, an action to take in artmaking, and a prompt question for each color. I haven't tested these out so I'm not including them yet.

In the next part, I'll talk about some of my experiences working with the colors and what I'm currently doing.
