Magenta — Aztec. old TLAPALI
blood of prickly pear, the
brightest and oldest

earth
[Yellow —] madness sickness fear
part of the sun and of happiness

[Olive —] leaves, sadness, science, the whole
of Germany is this color

clothes of this color, or at
least their underclothes
[Dark blue —] color of bad advertisements
and of good business
[Blue —]distance. Tenderness
can also be this blue
blood?”
