Colors Create Light Together

The color property that color pairs (often complementary) interact to generate a flash of light, making each other shine; extends to three or more colors summing to a luminous whole.

Eleven Color Properties
associated_with
The set of eleven empirical properties that cause inner light in color, analogous to the fifteen geometric properties. They include: Hierarchy of Colors, Colors Create Light Together, Contrast of Dark and Light, Mutual Embedding, Boundaries and Hairlines, Sequence of Linked Color Pairs, Families of Color, Color Variation, Intensity and Clarity of Individual Color, Subdued Brilliance, Color Depends on Geometry.
Eleven Morphological Invariants of Living Color
implements
A set of color qualities that emerge from the fundamental process, analogous to the fifteen properties; introduced in this chapter and elaborated in Book 4, chapter 7.

Chapter 7: Color And Inner Light
introduces
The chapter from The Nature of Order, Vol. 4, exploring how color, through the phenomenon of inner light, provides a direct glimpse of the I (ground), and presenting the eleven color properties that structure that unity.

Colors create light together like centers cooperating to form a larger being; the interaction intensifies each color as a center.claim0.902

Intensity and Clarity of Individual Colorconcept0.768
The paradox that each individual color must shine beautifully in itself, yet this clarity is achieved only through the support of surrounding colors—analogous to strong centers.
