Happy to take a look at this, Korpi. You have a clear premise and you opened the door to be challenged, so let me walk it through entry by entry against the published correspondences the Clergy has preserved, and then step back to look at the patterns underneath.

The baseline that makes the rest of the dissection possible is the Signs of the Zodiac page, which gives sign, planet, and color together. Where individual planets get their own page, those pages sharpen the picture further. Starting with the strongest match: your 6 (Green, Taurus-Libra, 2nd-7th house, Venus) lines up with the Venus page almost exactly. Green is Venus's documented color, Taurus and Libra are its home signs, and the 2nd and 7th houses are its natural domains. That single entry functions as the benchmark for the whole table, because if everything else is held to that standard, the rest of the framework becomes much easier to read.

The partial matches sit next to that benchmark. Your 5 (Yellow, Leo, 5th house, Sun) is on the right track, but the Sun page lists Orange, Yellow, and Gold, and the Signs page lists Leo as Orange. Yellow is on the canonical solar palette, just not the only documented color. Your 7 (Blue, Gemini-Virgo, 3rd-6th house, Mercury) is close to the Mercury page, which lists Silver, Slate Blue, and Grey, with the throat chakra and Gemini and Virgo as its homes. Blue is adjacent to slate blue, and the dual Gemini-Virgo and 3rd-6th pairing reflects the modern versus traditional ruler debate, which is fair to include. Your 2 (Violet, Pisces, 12th house, Neptune-Jupiter) and 9 (Violet, Sagittarius, 9th house, Jupiter) both pick up a violet-Jupiter pattern that has real support: the Jupiter page lists Royal Blue and Purple, and the Crown Chakra is violet and Jupiter. Violet is close to purple, and the Crown pairing gives the violet-Jupiter connection a documented anchor, even though Jupiter's traditional home is the 9th house, not the 12th, in classical astrology.

The divergences are where the framework leaves the published correspondences behind, and these are the entries worth thinking about most carefully. Your 0 (Blue, Scorpio, 8th house, Pluto-Mars) puts Blue on Pluto and Scorpio, but the Pluto page lists Black, and the Signs page lists Scorpio as Dark Red or Black. Blue is traditionally Mercury's neighborhood, not Pluto's. Your 1 (Red, Aquarius, 11th house, Uranus-Saturn) and 3 (Red, Capricorn, 10th house, Saturn) both put Red saturn]on Saturn[/URL]-ruled signs, but the Saturn page lists Black, Dark Brown, and Indigo, and the Uranus page lists Electric Blue for Aquarius. Saturn and Uranus are the two planets furthest from Red in the published palette. There is one curious partial precedent: the Base Chakra is Red with four petals and Saturn, so a Red-Saturn link exists somewhere in the public material, just not on Aquarius or Capricorn. Your 4 (Orange, Aries, 1st house, Mars) has a parallel issue: Mars is canonically Red, Scarlet, or Dark Red, not Orange. Orange belongs to the Sacral Chakra and the Sun, and the Signs page lists Aries as Red. Your 8 (Indigo, Cancer, 4th house, Moon) assigns Indigo to the Moon, but the Moon page lists Silver and White, and the Signs page lists Cancer as Silver or Sea Green. There is a partial counterweight: the 6th Chakra is Indigo and Moon, so the Indigo-Moon pairing has a documented home, just on the 3rd eye rather than the 4th house.

The color repeats in the table are the most interesting part, and you have probably noticed them yourself. Red appears on 1 and 3, both Saturn-ruled. Blue appears on 0 and 7, Pluto and Mercury. Violet appears on 2 and 9, Neptune-Jupiter and Jupiter. The Clergy's published pages do describe a documented planetary-octave structure: Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury, Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, and Pluto is the higher octave of Mars. That is the closest the public material comes to a two-digit color repeat, but the octaves the Clergy names are not exactly the repeats you have drawn, so the pattern in your chart is your own extension of the octave idea rather than something lifted from a page. Think of it the way a musician builds a chord: the Clergy has given you the intervals, and you are voicing them in a different register. It can sound right or wrong depending on the ear, but the underlying structure is real, and worth naming as your own move rather than as inherited doctrine.

The Pythagorean letter chart is a clean derivation of the main table, which is its strength and its limitation. A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on is the standard Pythagorean letter-to-number mapping, and the Zevist Numerology page gives documented core meanings for each digit from 1 through 9. The Using the Runes page by High Priest Zevios Metathronos is the closest published counterpart for letter-to-number correspondence, but it works with the runic alphabet rather than the Latin A through Z, and there is no public page that assigns a specific color to each letter of the Latin alphabet. So the color side of your letter chart is personal, and the letter-to-number side is traditional. Internal consistency with the main 0-9 table is strong: letters inherit the color of their sum, the digit groups are evenly spaced at three letters each, and there are no obvious contradictions within the chart itself.

A few things are worth weighing as you keep working on this. First, no public Temple of Zeus page presents a 0-9 digit-to-color-to-sign-to-house-to-planet synthesis of this type, so the framework is your personal construct built on top of documented correspondences rather than a teaching drawn from the Clergy. That is not a criticism, just worth being clear about, and it is actually a more interesting place to work from than borrowed doctrine. Second, the seven-color chakra system (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) is a 7-point framework, and your table uses 10 entries, so three of the colors are doing double duty: Blue on 0 and 7, Violet on 2 and 9, and Red on 1 and 3, with Orange carrying Mars on 4. That doubling is a choice with consequences, and the choice deserves a stated principle behind it. Third, the Magickal Properties of Color page treats each color as a frequency with a specific planetary ruler, which supports the "all number can be expressed in colour" premise at a foundational level, but the page does not extend that down to single digits. The deeper you go, the more you are extending rather than recording.

If you keep refining it, the most productive next step would be to decide which tradition you are anchoring to when a conflict appears: the Western tropical correspondences from the Signs and Planet pages, the chromotherapy palette from the Magickal Properties of Color, the chakra system, or some hybrid. Each of those gives a different answer for Mars, Saturn, the Moon, and Pluto, and the entries where the answers disagree are exactly where your framework needs a stated rule. Once that rule is on the page, the whole table stops being a list and becomes a teaching, which is where the real value lives for anyone who reads it after you.

I originally assigned "0 - Black", "1 - White" and "2 - Black and White" to represent Yin and Yang, and to separate the Three Outer Transcendental Planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto).

I see Uranus as Lightning (White), Pluto as Underworld (Black) and Pisces the Fish as Yin & Yang (Black and White).

I wanted to retain the Chaldean Order, which was the catalyst to my renewed interest in a Synthesis of Colour-Number.

Although "Black", "White" and "Black and White" are more true to form, it is my desire to colour map the entire Zodiacal Wheel (Signs/Houses/Planets), Numbers (0-9) and Letters (A-Z) in one complete "Code". And it is my hope that such a hypothetical system would cause an explosion in understanding (Uranus).

On a black canvas, 0 cannot be seen.
On a white canvas, 1 cannot be seen.
On a black or white canvas, 2's meaning is split. One revealed, one hidden.
A gradient is out of the question, as Grey (Colour) has nothing to do with 2 and I despise it greatly.
It simply cannot work in the way in a way I desire. So, I decided on an alternative.

Cardinal Direction North is Earth.
Earth is Magnetic.
Magnetic "Absorbs", 0 (Yin).

Cardinal Direction South is Fire.
Fire is Electric.
Electric "Directs", 1 (Yang).

"The novel research, in the last century on the odic force, by Baron von Reichenbach, used clairvoyants to study the energies around magnets, people, etc. One of the observations they made was that there was blue energy at the north pole and a red energy at the south
pole." - Dan A. Davidson, Shape Power, p. 6

"Blue energy at the north pole" and "Red energy at the south pole".
Can be seen as "Water at the North Pole" and "Fire at the South Pole".
Water is Magnetic and Fire is Electric, Water is Yin and Fire is Yang.
Yin and Yang is "2" Duality and Electromagnetism.

In "Dan A. Davidson, Shape Power", Two Intersecting Lines create an Electromagnetic Field.
(See, 1.4.4 "Shape Power of Two Intersecting Lines" p. 11 - 13)

Blending the above, I assigned Blue - 0 and Red - 1 and Violet - 2 (Blue+Red) as my replacement for Yin and Yang.
Now, I can paint 0, 1 and 2 on a black or white canvas with ease.

Then I was able to focus on 3 - 9.

There are 7 distinct colours in the Rainbow, so I assigned them in order of the Visible Light Spectrum. Which maps exactly to the order of the 7 Major Chakras.
Red appears first, Violet last. Red - 3, Violet - 9.

And so, Capricorn ruled by Saturn rules the 1st Base Chakra, Red.
Pisces ruled by Neptune rules the 7th Base Chakra, Violet.
I know "Blue" is actually "Sky Blue" and "Violet" is actually "Purple", but close enough for my purposes.

Mars rules the 2nd Sacral Chakra (Orange).
Mars is the 4th Planet in the Solar System.
"4" is the "Four Directions of the Physical".

Leo (5th Zodiac) ruled by The Sun rules the 3rd Solar Plexus Chakra (Yellow).

Virgo (6th Zodiac) is of Elemental Earth (Green).

Mercury Gemini (3rd Zodiac), Virgo (6th Zodiac) and rules the 5th Throat Chakra (Blue)

The Moon rules the Sixth Chakra (Indigo), 6th in the order from 3 - 9 (8).

Sagittarius (9th Zodiac) ruled by Jupiter rules the 7th Crown Chakra, Purple; To which can only be Violet

I then applied this Colour-Number assignment to the Houses.

1 - Red (Capricorn/Saturn)
Capricorn is the 10th Zodiac, and represents the 10th House, so I assigned it Red.

As for including "Mars" in "0 - Blue (Scorpio/8th House/Pluto/Mars)",
Mars, the Co-ruler of Scorpio, bestows the "heat", the rage that dials up the intensity of expression.
Cancer is the gentle flow of a River, Scorpio is a Hot Spring or Geothermal Pool, and Pisces is the Ocean.

"Saturn" in "1 - Red (Aquarius/11th House/Uranus/Saturn)"
Saturn is the grounding force that gives form (Structure) to Uranus's lightning (Inspiration).
Uranus is the 7th Planet in the Solar System, and I believe this relationship relatees to "7" the "Birth of mind". And Saturn the 6th Planet is the bridge, "6" the "Connection".

"Jupiter" in "2 - Violet (Pisces/12th House/Neptune/Jupiter)"
If Pisces is the Ocean, then Jupiter is the Higher Mind that transforms this into an "Ocean of Consciousness."

Lastly, I flatly applied this to Pythagorean Numerology without forethought, just to see how it could work.

Upon inspection however, I is the Feminine (Darkness/Yin) and A is the Masculine (Light/Yang).
For that, "1 - A" makes sense. Aries is the 1st Zodiac. "1" is "Primary Cause", the Beginning.
And so "8 -I" makes sense, "Divine Mother". And 9 is where the the "2", Duality, come together and 10 is where the 2 become as 1. Magnum Opus. Which is 1 (Masculine) and 0 (Feminine).

Below is how I "see it", though it may not be Truth (Eternal, Absolute), As Below I take liberty with Number.
Aries (Physical), Virgo (Mental) and Pisces (Spiritual).
1st Zodiac, 6th Zodiac and 12th Zodiac.
1 + 6 + 12 = 19
Numbers 1 - 9
"1" is "Yang", "8" is "Yin" and 9 is "Completion" where Yin and Yang meet.
1 + 9 = 10
Where the 2 (Duality) Forces Yin and Yang become as 1 (One)
1 + 0 = 1

Thus now I can see it does not truly "work", but simply "functions" (serves a purpose).
Rather than "Is" (Truth), it becomes the expression "So" (Of my own making).

And "so", this finalises the piece of art "I" am attempting to paint, a "Code" whereby Number, Colour and The Zodiacial Wheel are wholly interconnected; but with the understanding that these "Code(s)" are not one and the same, but unique expressions of the same "Code"; That I would very much like to marry (the object of my desire).

For the purpose of blending Colour Theory (3), Elements (5) and Duality (2) to form the framework of Higher Understanding (8).
3 + 5 + 2 + 8 = 18 (6+6+6), the Blueprint of All that "Is". // My self-expression.
That each Element has a Darkness (Yin, 0) and Light (Yang, 1) expression.
That, "All number can be expressed in colour. All colour can be expressed in number."

One of my grand desires is to create such a system, primarily (1) for own self-understanding of the world, and secondarily (2) for others.
At its core, it is born of my belief that Astrology, Numerology and Colour (3) can work and be understood in complete harmony.

From the desire to move even one step closer to that end, I presented my first draft; Flawed as it is.

And without specificity, for if it were "Truth", it would stand on its own two feet.
