[u]Eye on Colors[/u]
In the southern camp, the grey mediator is reflecting on the symbolism of the colors known while holding a brown rock found in an earlier exploration in the west. They are contemplating the symbolism of brown. Traditionally, it has been viewed as a very dark form of yellow (light + red + green = courage + order + life), representing humility or horror. The reason why it shows humility as it is now wisdom instead of productivity with its darkness. But it also shows horror for it could also represent caution instead of wisdom. The reflection is long, as they think that as complexity is growing, the direction that things will go more is unclear. They think it will be largely dependent on how much Platta accept the complexity growing, and as there are some who dislike the complexity, and become more followers than discussion aiders, that the future is seen to be a divide between Platta. The mediator wonders what they should do about it. They believe it is likely to happen, but they don't know what else. Should it be left to happen, tried to be prevented, encouraged? That is what they seek to learn. "Historically, the Platta have been united, but is that what should happen?" is one of the thoughts.

Meanwhile, the Platta observe Faw's response. The caretaker answers, "More Platta far." This is shown by gesturing towards some Platta and then away in the direction of the other camps while appearing to point to Platta in the distance. It is not done towards the west, as that is where they are. When the question of color arises, the Platta interpet it as the question of what are the colors, specifically white, as the Platta don't see it as an absence. The caretaker gets a cloth made for teaching children about the colors as it contains a small amount of every established color. They also bring out a clear cloth and some of the dyes used that aren't as solidified onto a cloth. It includes the colors of red, green, and blue (light, medium, and dark of each), yellow, brown, cyan, purple (light and dark), black, white, and gray. The caretaker points to the white first, and says "white". They then demonstrates the white dye making on a clear cloth explaining and saying "draw white" to explain the action. The caretaker comes closer to show it and allow Faw to attempt it. If Faw does try it, the caretaker then begins to explain the color dissection system that all Platta use which includes the words of "red", "green", "blue", "color plus", "darker", "lighter", "medium brightness", "color total" and how these combine. For example, "white" is "red color plus green color plus blue color plus lighter color total white".
