Bellow is a list of colors whose names derive from the Saguza Language. These are colors experienced by Saguzahar eyes alone, as many are mixtures of familiar colors with the color cébre, located below violet on the traditional spectrum, a color visible only to Saguzahar.

Cébre
Cébre, also known as false-black, is a color that resides on the spectrum bellow blue and violet (what we would call ultra-violet) It is a color invisible to most races, the exception being the Saguzahar. Saguza color vision is shifted down the spectrum slightly-- they cannot see red anymore than humans can see cébre. The word cébre comes from the Saguza word tsábar.

Aura
A being's Aura is a metaphysical manifestation of spiritual energy. Personality, morality and intent are reflected in the Aura, and this aspect of spirit can be discerned by those sensitive to it. Though the different qualia of the aura is not directly comparable to color, it is often described this way, as the feeling of an aura is best expressed in visual terms. Listed below are different shades an aura can take, with notes on what they indicate about the individual they surround.
✶- Bright Blue: Purely Philanthropic
a shining, sapphire blue aura. The alignment of saints, martyrs, and intensely charitable deities. Unerringly benevolent, even to one's own detriment or death.
⬧- Blue: Benevolent, Lawful
pol: Socialist
⬧- Azure: Benevolent, Inconsistent
pol: Activist
⬧- Cyan: Benevolent, Volatile
pol: Communist
⬨- Black/None: Fundamentally Ordered
a black aura, or perhaps the absence of one. This is the alignment of simple automatons, insects, and deities of pure Order.
⬧- Purple: Indifferent, Lawful
pol: Authoritarian
⬧- White: Indifferent, Inconsistent
pol: Centrist, a white, poorly defined aura. This is the alignment of the opportunist, the vagrant, most semi-intelligent beasts (apes, cetaceans)
⬧- Pale-Green: Indifferent, Volatile
pol: Anarchist
✶- Bright Red: Singularly Misanthropic
an overwhelming, glowing scarlet aura. Utterly possessed of a hatred for mankind. Undeviatingly chooses to cause harm, even to its own detriment. Almost exclusively found among divinities, and otherworldly entities.
⬧- Red: Malevolent, Lawful
pol: Fascist, a hot red aura.† The alignment of some devils, most politicians, and psychopaths. Selfish, but principled.
⬧- Orange: Malevolent, Inconsistent
pol: Conservative
⬧- Yellow: Malevolent, Volatile
pol: Libertarian
✶- Bright Green: Fundamentally Chaotic
an intense, iridescent green aura. Mostly incompatible with life, this is the aura of elementally chaotic entities. Occasionally associated with deities, and certain types of magical energies.
† Aura in shades of red are described as appearing cébre by Saguzahar sensitive to aura. This seems to indicate that the shade of malevolent aura are actually emsabre, the color of blood.
Amnestic Occlusion
Amnestic Occlusion is an effect that may lock a set of information behind a meme (perhaps a word, a phrase or image) which has an amnestic property to it, preventing the associated information from being recorded in a viewers mind. These "amnestic locks" may only be circumvented by a viewer inoculated to that specific meme- that is, typically, possessing meta-knowledge of the meme such that its effects are less pronounced. This could, for instance, take the form of a word with inherent amnestic properties, a word that could go overlooked by a viewer despite its presence in apparently plain sight. It is difficult to provide a tangible example.
Consider perhaps how the mind processes an article like "the" constantly in everyday speech, without ever taking much time to consider the word's meaning or properties. It is a similar concept to this. Once attention has been drawn to the word, the brain may process it differently for a time, rendering the apparent innocuousness negated.
Amnestic
An amnestic is, loosely speaking, anything pertaining to forgetfulness. This included amnestic elixirs, which may cause an individual to forget events within a certain time frame, or of a particular nature. Amnestic memetic elements are those which make an ideon challenging for a mind to hold on to, or may otherwise hide correlated information from memory. An amnestic field is a region where in things inside the field will slip from the viewers mind.
