Hierarchy of Colors

The color property that different colors in a composition must have unequal, hierarchically graded areas—often a geometric progression—with one dominant and others in decreasing amounts.

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.

The rule of hierarchy of color areas is almost universally followed in things with inner light; equal areas of several colors almost never occur in such works.claim0.802

The color property that inner light cannot appear without geometric wholeness (the field of centers), and that color, in turn, intensifies geometry; they are interlocked.
