Colors are more than just the brain's interpretation of electromagnetic wavelength.

But just as blue turns to black when left unchecked, so too does the smoke of the fire darken one's horizon.

So why go into such detail about party colors?
To exemplify how the rulers of our world have made you look to the left, to the right for answers regarding why there is so much suffering.
