- In Alexander's 1982 experiment, not one of ten students could color a xerox of the 'Sun Man' drawing beautifully, because its geometry lacked a field of centers.
- All ten students colored the 'Landscape' drawing beautifully, because its strong field of centers made inner light almost automatic.

- Assertion that the process yields a specific set of color qualities, listed in the chapter.
- The exact color proportions were crucial; even minor changes would destroy the inner lightclaim0.806Once the 57:40:3 combination was discovered, it hinged on absolutely correct proportion; any deviation ruined the feeling.
- Central thesis of the chapter.
