JohnnyKaizen he/him Posted January 30, 2025 Posted January 30, 2025 I am still not clear about the blue and magenta in YATNP. I get that yellow is missing for some reason to do with Virtuosity. I also understand that red, blue, and yellow are primary colors. I'm not clear on why yellow is missing from Komashi, but is present for Shallan in the SR? It was commented on several times in WaT (The blue, magenta, and yellow tint to things), and clearly I'm supposed to draw some conclusion(s) has the reader, but as I've never really been clear on hion, I definitely don't know what I'm supposed to take away from Shallan's experiences in the SR? Is there more to this, or is this currently one of those topics that will become more apparent as more Cosmere books are published? 2

Probably this 59 minutes ago, JohnnyKaizen said: I'm not clear on why yellow is missing from Komashi, Was it missing? I thought it was heavily implied that Blue and Magenta were pulled into the Physical Realm for power and Yellow was being used elsewhere/in-a-dfferent-way (Komashi Shadesmar is my guess). SR should have all three, regardless. Not to mention that WaT is possibly from before Virtuosity splintered herself. WoB: Spoiler Kingdaughter613 The hion colors are two of the inks used in printers, magenta and cyan. Brandon Sanderson They are. Kingdaughter613 Was this intentional? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Kingdaughter613 If so, what happened to yellow? Brandon Sanderson Good question. RAFO.

I never get everything on the first read. Thank you, that is helpful. 1

But it still sometimes described in terms of regions like how they say the area of Spiritual Realm is damaged where Ambition died. Also if the Iriali-Virtuosity theory should be believed then Virtuosity splintered long before WaT. The yellow colour then also maybe there due to the presence of Iriali on Roshar at that time and hence it is also missing from elsewhere as Iriali not there.
