This is a wonderful article about the color symbols seen in Riven, written by Riven Lyst member Robin Lionheart (posted with permission).
The [[D'ni (race)|D'ni]] had '''six symbols''', resembling an eye, to represent '''basic colors'''.


[[Gehn]] believed the system has a deeper connection to Five<ref>{{cite journal|author=Gehn|journal=Lab journal|game=Riven|game-page=Riven (game)}}</ref>. By drawing intermediate symbols, it is possible to form a matrix analogous to the [[D'ni grammar#Letters-numerals comparison|relation]] between numbers and letters.

Curiously, the most basic shapes correspond to orange, green and purple, the traditional secondary colors in 19th century European color wheels.

Only four D'ni words for colors are known: {{dni-text|oko}} (black), {{dni-text|hahzah}} (white), {{dni-text|roodsh}} (red), {{dni-text|trel}} (blue).
