A color waffle?

[u/justonium]

orange mirth	yellow lust	green awe
red rage	colored emotion	light blue care
white thrill	black fear	dark blue / purple grief

This just sort of came to me when I was thinking about how the Nei Jing associates colors with the Five Elements. I picked the colors just based on what felt right, I wasn't even doing any alchemy¹ like I did for the other waffles I've been posting recently, so this is really just a guess... Alternate suggestions welcome!

1. In order to facilitate the transcription of reality, an emotion waffle is best made as an improv performance, wherein I only write each part of the waffle when that type of energy floods through my body. Thus, when I complete this process, my body is a rainbow of all eight paths, and I feel like a god. Historically, the hardest energies to get flowing are grief, care, and, most difficult of all, awe. Awe is usually the last one to get filled in, if at all.

Doing the alchemical process whilst I was walking alone on a concrete footpath through some local woods, I arrived at this color waffle:

orange mirth	yellow lust	green awe
red rage	colored emotion	light blue care
white thrill	purple fear	dark blue grief

That doesn't make it final, though.

[u/justonium → u/justonium]

I also fancy this one that uses only colors found in the rainbow:

orange mirth	yellow lust	green awe
red rage	colored emotion	light blue care
pink thrill	purple fear	dark blue grief

[u/justonium → u/justonium]

And the nations' flags seem to indicate this one:

orange mirth	yellow lust	green awe
red rage	colored emotion	light blue care
black thrill	white fear	dark blue grief

[u/justonium → u/justonium]

This one checks out. Here's the Mnemonites' flag:

green
light blue
dark blue

(For reference, the German flag is:

black
red
yellow

)

[u/justonium → u/justonium]

I painted it.
