Landscape drawing coloring experiment: 10 of 10 students produced beautiful coloring

All ten students colored the 'Landscape' drawing beautifully, because its strong field of centers made inner light almost automatic.

Sun Man drawing coloring experiment: 0 of 10 students produced beautiful coloringfinding0.857
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.
The experimental method of starting with a vision and adding color to create life in the centers has predictable results: the eleven invariants.claim0.726
Assertion that the process yields a specific set of color qualities, listed in the chapter.

The color properties were discovered through color work and later found to parallel the fifteen geometric properties, confirming a deep connection.
