I think that the riddle of A~’s colour on the Inner Circle may be solved by a sort of shifting multi-colour.*

In general, I should expect the Inner Circle to show a lighter version of the same Colours which on the same Outer Circle Degrees are in a darker version.** This is not quite the same (I hope) as the variation from one colour to another around the spectrum of the Circle.

per E[ncylopaedia] B[ritannica] III.[])

[See next entry for image of central circle diagram (shown in the centre above) in ms & text extract from it:]

[Text extract from upper right of ms extract shown above:]

I offer 3 alternative [sic] measures***

	Colour		Sphere
(1)	Wavelength	=	Degree on Circle
(2)	Black ↔ White	=	Front to Back Back Degree
(3)	Clarity	=	Radius

[Text extract from upper left of ms extract shown above:]

(1)	Hue:	per dominant wavelength	\
(2)	Saturation (=Chroma): (High Sat[uration] =	relative purity (amount of). little white / white light mixed with hue)	Chromaticity /
(3)	Brightness: (= Value)	Intensity
	(Reflectance?)	(degrees of shading)

[Text extract from lower left of ms extract shown above:]

		Sphere	Colour Characteristic
Suggest:	(1)	Degree:	Hue (Dominant wavelength)
Back:****	(2)	Depth to Back:	(Less) Saturation (more white)
Front:****	(3)	Depth to Front:	Brightness (highest shading)
	(+)	Clarity	?

This chart is incomplete!

*{But see VI [] ….}

(but see [0]. re Zechariah [6:1-8, & especially 2-3 & 6]?****

**(A return to an earlier form)

***[Unclear whether this comment refers to the 3 tables (probably) or to the 3 rows in the immediately immediately beneath it (possibly). & cf next entry but one.]

****[In the ms these are reversed and appear both to be against (2) but given the crossings-out at that point the order and position typed here seem most likely.]

"I looked up again and saw four chariots coming out between two mountains; and the mountains were made of copper. The first chariot had bay horses, the second black, the third silver, and the fourth dappled. I asked the Agent who talked with me: 'Sir, what are these?'

"He answered, 'These are the four Spirits of Heaven which have been attending the Lord of the whole Earth; and they are now going forth. The chariot with the black horses is going to the Land of the North, that with the silver to the Far West, that with the dappled to the South, and that with the roan to the land of the East.'

"They were eager to go and range over the whole Earth; so he said, 'Go and range over the Earth', and the chariots did so.

"Then he called me to look and said, 'Those going to the Land of the North have given my Spirit rest in the Land of the North!'"

(Zechariah 6:1-8, per [0], described a few sentences later in [0] as ‘a very free translation’; eg New Jerusalem Bible at Catholic On line at 2-3 has ‘The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot had black horses, the third chariot had white horses and the fourth chariot had vigorous, piebald horses’; & at 6: ‘ The black horses are leaving for the land of the north; the white are following them, and the piebald are leaving for the land of the south'’; but New International Version at 2-3 has “The first chariot had red horses, the second black, the third white, and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful”; & at 6: “The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”)
