An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The D'ni people used a visual color symbology. It was based on a 6-basic color system, represented as circular eyes. Obviously there were intermediate shapes between these "keys", indicating hue combinations. Gehn employed these symbols with his domes. The circumference of each dome had a series of 36 symbols. The colors were: * Horizontal closed eye (a circle with a horizontal bar): Orange * Horizontal eye: Yellow * Fully opened eye (a circle with a dot): Green * Vertical eye: Blue * Vertical closed eye (a circle with a vertical bar): Purple * "Cat" eye: Red
