- 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.
- Alexander's claim that living structure properties are not incidental but are the operative mechanisms of wholeness-preserving transformation
- Claim that the area proportions alone diagnose neighborhood health.
- Foundation of the chapter's argument that the properties transcend aesthetics and are fundamental to all physical reality.
- The author explicitly ties the empirical photographs to his theoretical structure.
