This page uses red, green, and blue as moral and tribal signals, showing a world where color, honesty, work, and loyalty are all unstable.

The corrected title and line readings keep the angular tension intact. Its shifting colors make judgment feel arbitrary, as if the speaker is trapped inside social codes where dishonesty is rewarded and even a job becomes part of the color logic.
