Rha is the color of personality and leadership. It represents the sum of your choices and their consequences on others, expressing who you are and what you stand for. In short, it describes how belief translates into action, and the difficult decisions made along the way.
With Sace, Rha represents love, hate, or other bonds of friendship or passion. It bridges the gap between anger and fire, or emotional intimacy and passions of the flesh.
With Ela, Rha helps define your character or personal style. Some believe that these are the base colors of the soul, or that they're the basis of one's social life and interactions.
With Dau, Rha includes the element of fire and the season of summer. Activities such as fishing, bonding, or wrestling that include the draw of Rha with the physicality of Dau are also associated with the colors.
Pfi and Jutu are the colors with the least associations with Rha. Logic and technology have little concern for your feelings. Rogues most often break with leaders, and so that role is generally in opposition to Rha (and Ela).
A fallen paladin or samurai might be a good example of a character based in Rha. They have strong personalities with Dau and Sace as supporting colors, and a conflict with Ela. Their struggle is how to align their beliefs and actions; once they were leaders, and they can be so again.
In the real world, Einstein might be a good example of a Rha+Pfi character that breaks convention without relying on Sace or Dau. A pop music star might have high Sace, but low Rha, as they remain popular but struggle to differentiate themselves. Hitler would arguably fit the classic mold, having high Rha, Dau, Ela, and Sace.

Pfi is the color of intelligence, analysis, and deductive reasoning. It includes your ability to identify patterns or decipher complex codes, apply them to the problem at hand, and solve puzzles rationally. As a mental and physical color, it represents the mechanics of the mind or conscious thought.
With Wim, Pfi assumes the aspects of war and peace. Where discipline and morale might fail, a brilliant strategy can succeed.
With Jutu, Pfi comprises logical thought, craft/technology, and the devices and structures yielded by those efforts. Rogues depend especially on dexterity and intelligence to operate.
With Quae, Pfi manifests as the element of air and the season of autumn. As animals and plants fly through the sky, these colors provide the structures to propel them.
Ela and Rha are the colors with the least associations with Pfi. Beliefs and emotions are classically opposed to logical reasoning and execution. Matters of the soul have no bearing on the mechanical complexity of the universe.
A scientist, engineer, or inventor might be a good example of a Pfi-based character. These characters translate knowledge (Quae) into power (Wim), whether or not they are the ones to ultimately utilize the results of their work (Jutu). Such characters endeavor to reduce personal bias or unjustified beliefs, relying on experimental or theoretical results rather than social approval (Rha+Ela).
In many ways, Pfi is the defining color of humanity, with our ability to reason and conceive of abstract concepts. Historical examples are numerous, but other creatures share this ability as well. Ravens and crows are among the smartest birds, able to concoct complex plans. Octopuses and squids can recognize and mimic complex patterns, and have been known to make tools to solve problems.
Pfi maps most closely to the classic color Purple:
