• Black - The 'shades' are worn inside The Matrix to establish machine environments are sub-death [without soul] - as the paradigm or  'gameboard' used by the machines to manipulate people for their purposes. The Wachowski brothers describe the rebels’ clothing inside the Matrix as their armor, so it
  is important to note where the glasses are off because of trust [the "Let me take a look at you" Oracle], confrontation [Agent Smith, the Architect and the Merovingian try to get rebels to "see" it their way], vulnerability, other situations. Fishburne was 'shadeless' during part of the Reloaded Freeway Chase.
  He said, “When things get really hairy inside the Matrix, when Morpheus isn’t sure whether or not he’s going to get out, then they come off. He’s got to fight with what’s inside him as opposed to what’s on
  the outside.”

• White - A symbol of spirit, as Lunar whiteness, like water; the albedo in alchemy. It is the silver or Moon condition, still waiting to be raised to the Sun condition. Jung refers to the albedo, or lapis albus, as daybreak, adding, not till the rubedo is it sunrise, as illustrated by Sati in REVOLUTIONS. The radiant white dove [perhaps a reference to gifts of the Paraclete] is called, 'the salt of the metals' in alchemy. The queen, crowned with a silver crown [or diadem of stars, as Trump III] has a white lily in her hand,  strokes a white or silver eagle standing beside her as a symbol of the pure feminine principal.

• Green

• Amber/gold variations -  Zion Pow Wow [top of page] refers to Black-Gold expression of Akasha - some colours reminiscent of celebration scenes after fall of Empire in SW VI Return of The Jedi

• Golden variations with suggestion of Maxima - Revolutions scene with Neo in a face to face conversation with Deus Ex Machina, [voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson] reminiscent of an
  ancient Rosicrucian text:
  "...after all these things and near the daybreak there shall be a great calm, and you
  shall see the Day-Star arise and the dawning will appear, and you shall perceive a
  great treasure.
  The chiefest thing in it, and the most perfect, is a certain exalted tincture, with which
  the world [if it served God and were worthy of such gifts] might be tinged and turned
  into most pure gold..."

• The fifth colour [if you include electricity/lightning/transfiguration] acts as the raw material for animating threads,  'energy waves' in colours of blues, 'jellyfish clear,' and dazzling brilliance. This energy, sometimes waved, often interwoven with higher octaves, comes across as meshed into the  Transparent Wave, Akasha, and ectoplasmic gel [the Twins, identical albino virus shape-shifters.]

c)  The Real World atmosphere is cool steel-blue [suggestion - reliance on the machines before the
     war began.] Blue is often thought to be the colour of spiritual focus, trustworthiness, and inner
     wellness. The functional palette relies on slow moving winter power colours though this never
     implies the world of the machines is less than efficient.

From the middle of the spectrum [Green] beginning at Teal, Deeper Blue-Greens like Transparent Viridian Green, the retreating waves start to turn toward magnetic, slower, and cooler rhythms.

An example is found in Theta colours, favoured by Morpheus and Niobe. They conserve energy.
The traditional triad is black/charcoal,  grey with blue and purple highlights,  and, a red/maroon  that is blended.


     Natural neutrals [clothes made of fabric that appears hand woven in Zion, recycled, or retrieved from
     the city suggest a 'spiritual' and unadorned or 'plain' quality in the Zion underworld retreat. There is
     almost a 'kiva' atmosphere within Zion, although the reference is more obviously to the 'New City' or
     New Jerusalem mentioned in prophecy, based on the name of the community.

     Kym Barrett said, “Zion is a city under siege, so the clothes made by and for the people who live there
     emphasize function over fashion. At the same time, they take pride in their history and their craftsman-
     ship, and their wardrobe reflects the true utilitarian spirit of the community.”]

     The climate is responsible for the palette; Zion is a beacon of Hope, 'the Zone' and last human city;
     internal weather conditions are most obvious in the wardrobe for Morpheus, as he moves toward a
     frequency consistent with the true searcher who looks for truth wherever it is to be found. The words
     spoken by Morpheus [and the Council] resonate Theta energy, the "OM" frequency, prayer, or sacred
     syllable. Most 'treasure words' appear in the deeper blue-purple range. The Mystic Blue-Violet Wave
     also carries this energy - as does the 'Sterling Silver Rose.'

     On the Nebudchadnezzar, threads for the crew are drawn from maroon, grey, and black options. As
     Captain of his ship, Morpheus can move into the dark purple range when he enters the Matrix. His
     suits are like 'carriers' or aura envelopes within the Matrix. The Theta frequency is free of toxins so
     contains 'clear' and/or transparent textures. The energy does not cancel itself out. [Go to Trinity]

     Morpheus chooses a 'pure' solution to the betrayal problem in the first film of the trilogy. His act of
     self-sacrifice for the sake of The One, the team, and the mission runs on a Theta Wave integrity. A
     possible navy blue fabric highlight will often imply confidence, spiritual centeredness, and authority.
     These can help the audience gain additional insight into the character of Morpheus and hint at his
     position as a natural leader, reformer, and role model for many in Zion. Faux purple alligator boots -
     pampering at it's best, complete the ensemble! Check other 'hot' pages through this article, and
