Yun is the color of constitution, endurance, and fortitude. It's the sum of one's parts, the greater whole, and how well they're put together. A high Yun individual is healthy, vigorous, and capable. In other contexts, Yun refers to the fertility and health of the land and earth.
With Biz, Yun includes workers, traders, laborers, and merchants. Those whose physical efforts and personal wealth are intertwined stem from these colors.
With Wim, Yun controls the axis of power and aspects of the physical form or body. Many extraordinary abilities are based in these colors, as Wim asserts itself as the source of all power and Yun emerges as the effect of that power.
With Jutu, Yun represents freedom and oppression. Corporeal and symbolic bondage is no match for a thriving and liberated people.
Sace and Vei are the colors most indifferent to Yun. Magic subverts power and the natural laws upon which it depends. A man can use fortitude to resist its effects, but ultimately he is powerless to control magic unless he also possesses the wisdom or charisma to properly manage the emotions of himself and others.
A nomad is perhaps a good example of a Yun character. Living off the land, exchanging goods and services with various peoples, and generally seeking an escape from war or oppression well describe a nomad. The aimlessness that comes from a lack of motivation or direction highlights a conflict with Wim.
Most real life commoners, tradesmen, middle or low class individuals would probably fall under this color. Douglas Mawson might be a good fit for the color, both because of his career as a geologist and his incredible story of endurance in the artic. Biz played its characteristic karmic role as both a boon in his early life and a curse in the winter of his life (see his unlucky arrival after his ordeal). Jutu plays less of a role, but his dedication to exploring new spaces is notable. While certainly motivated and determined to survive, he requested leave from military service in WWI and expressed concerns about the use and maintenance of certain munitions, hinting at a conflict with Wim.

Ohm represents the absence of the other colors. Sometimes considered a color, other times a tone, it defies definition. Classically associated with the primes of Death, Order, and Good, it could just as easily apply to Life, Chaos, and Evil. It is said that all things begin as Ohm before showing their true colors.
When paired with any other single color, Ohm brings out the essence of that color. As a result, mono-colored Ohm cards are stronger than other cards, but lack the versatility of multi-colored cards. Ohm can also appear alone.
Few keywords naturally fit within Ohm, as the absence of other colors strongly implies that Ohm cards do not exist or have no effects. Thus, concepts such as the Void or the Basic keyword often fall to Ohm.
Ohm maps most closely to the classic color Gray:

These apples were dipped in a pot of hot caramel and then rolled over sesame seeds for extra flavor. They come with a convenient stick for easy eating. Some are decorated especially for Halloween, and they're a hit with the kids.
