There is a theory that the iriali are a splinter of the shard virtuosity. In Yumi we learn that virtuosity splintered theirselves, and the hion lines are a part of their investiture. The lines are cyan and magenta, which one astute reader noticed are two of the three colors used by printers to create all colors. The color missing is yellow, which corresponds to the Iriali having golden skin, hair and eyes. Brandon also sneakily answered a question about where the yellow line went.

In the Yumi and the Nightmare Painter prerelease spoiler stream, someone asked about a third hion, colored yellow, which you hinted was a thing. Nothing like that appeared in the novel beyond the third color on the cover artwork. Could you expand on that a bit?

There could be a third theoretical color that would be relevant in this conversation. And it would be yellow. If there were a third hion line, it would be yellow. And there is not a third hion line, currently. I wonder why…
