In Alchemy, yellow was also sometimes included as another phase I think, but was apparently mixed into red and left out after the 15th century. The four colors were associated with Alchemy because they are associated with the chemical processes used in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, an act which they refer to as the Magnum Opus (the "Great Work.") In Alchemy you blackened things (nigredo), whitened things (albedo), reddened things (rubedo), or yellowed things (citrinitas).

If anyone has any information as to how useful studying alchemy would be in the context of the Ra Material, or the Law of One itself in general, I would be very interested in it.
