Here I found that in Taoist alchemy they have something very similar to the three-"chakra" system I proposed earlier. The middle is the heart, the top is the brain, and then at the bottom are the kidneys. That's curious, I haven't thought of the lower part as being the kidneys. Other than that I think the Taoist system can be matched to the three primary additive colors; 1) red for the bottom, 2) green for the middle and 3) blue for the top. And red+green=yellow/gold and indeed from Wikipedia: "Chinese alchemical texts and sources ordinarily call neidan the jīndān dào 金丹道 or Way of the Golden Elixir." And the Taoist master says in this video: "if your heart and kidney can be meeting together your life will be as high as the heaven" (red [kidneys] + green [heart] = yellow/gold)
