The PURPLE-Centered Full Spectrum

Political battles are often won by those who are able to frame a conflict so that their own position is seen as the best (or only) place for everyone else to go in a compromise. The standard left-right framing of political conflicts implicitly empowers anyone who can reasonably claim the center.

The image below is the COLOR Spectrum that most closely matches the mainstream left-right continuum. From left to right it goes GREEN-AQUA, AQUA, DENIM, BLUE, PURPLE, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, YELLOW-GREEN. This way of framing politics privileges the PURPLE unity position and marginalizes anyone with more than a hint of GREEN. While this way of looking at politics dominates, PURPLE is the logical point of compromise in every conflict between the mainstream DENIM consensus and the mainstream ORANGE consensus.
