(the concretization of this table you will find below)
The labeling of the positions (for ex.-5 b) is practical for determination
of the context of the colour and the harmonic space it describes.
≈ this sign indicates that the scale has switched from a function of one
tone specific modulation to the function modulation of the parallel
/.../ is a valuable function, whereby the degree of light is defined but not its character as colour. So it appears as a certain Grey.
List of Colours and Scales
According to the Structures of the Longchen Harmony
The definitions of colours have been explained so far as degrees of light and their character as a dark or light colour.
Now in the context of the quantity and their particular structure, the colours are valued in their relation to each other, so that they are described more precisely.
Here this list of colours is the most approximate determination for a time.
(The names are mainly common names from design and painting or from the archive of Naomi Kuno and Forms Inc. Tokyo.)
