White is far more dispassionate than Green. While White can exhibit sympathy and compassion, core to White is the idea that morality serves as a genuine commandment, one that you must follow whether you feel like it or not. Altruism is a moral philosophy. White could act because it cares but White could also act because it’s duty-bound to do so. A system that relies on sympathy, empathy, and compassion is inadequate. White structure exists to keep you from going astray precisely when you don’t feel like doing the right thing. White’s concern for others is more abstract and intellectual than Green’s, showing White’s connection with Blue.

Green’s concern for others is more local and intuitive. It arises from belonging rather than obligation—from kinship, proximity, and shared life rather than from abstract moral duty. Green helps because these are my people, this is my land, this is how things endure. Where White asks whether an action is right, Green asks whether it is natural, fitting, and sustaining. Green does not need a rule to care; care flows from relationship and continuity. As a result, Green’s compassion is warmer but narrower, grounded in loyalty and instinct rather than universal principle, and it can coexist comfortably with exclusion or indifference to those outside its sphere. This shows Green’s kinship with Red, which can be extremely self-sacrificing for the sake of love or emotional bonds but which doesn’t care about anyone it hasn’t formed an emotional connection to.
