     All colors in computer come from the triple intersections with red, green, blue light streams. I have found that the 8 basic colors in ascii codes are quite certainly the same structure as the eight basic symbols of the Book of Changes(I-Ching, or Yi-King). These eight basic symbols('Gua' in chinese) are made by Bokhee(or FuHsi in chinese), who is an ancester of chinese people, who was in about 3500 B.C., and also who comes from the ancient korea, Shinshi(God's city). So to speak, the first Chien is the same structure as white's Ascii codes in color, the second Tui is as cyan or aqua, the third Li is as magenta or fuchsia, the firth Chen is as blue, the fifth Sun is as yellow, the sixth Kan is as lime, the seventh Ken is as red, the eighth Kun is as black. Once again speaks, white is originated from the south, cyan or aqua is southeast, magenta or fuchsia is east, blue is northeast, yellow is southwest, lime is west, red is northwest, black is north.
     So I can figure out that all colors are originated from the six dragons or something like that in ancient space, which is said as trigram or hexagram in I-Ching. Six ascii codes of colors come from these six dragons, hexagram, which is also said as the three dimensions. Actually, Colors are made of the hamony of positive and negative waves in three dimentions, as which sun project the lights to space. I am quite sure. So, 'FF' in ascii codes is '111' in I-Ching as the positive, '00' in ascii codes is '101' in I-Ching as the negative. There are 16 tones between 'FF' and '00'. Especially, an ancient history book in korea says that Bokhee(FuHsi) have seen several dragons chased to the sun, and dragons have changed their colors 12 times in a day. The eight basic symbols of I-Ching were made by Bokhee(FuHsi) as have seen these situations. After Bokhee(FuHsi), 64 symbols(Gua) are modified and finished by King Wen in Chou times. At that times, about 1150 B.C., All history books in china and korea, say the heaven with stars and constellation have changed, and also changed color's origination. Lately five basic colors' direction after king Wen are like this. Blue in east, red in south, white in west, black in north, yellow in center.
