Serious or not seems beside the point.  Why think in a color at all?  Do so
if that's the way your mind works.  Why not think in terms of a particular
sport?  The Sixth = soccer; The Eighth = baseball.  It's one's own mind,
after all.  The question I have is why the arbitrariness of one mind should
be seen as applicable to others.
