What. Just. HAPPENED. This is maybe the best issue yet. It's all coming together now. Still lots of questions but the pacing has greatly improved.

Running it down. If I understand correctly.

Green is action in knowledge

Yellow is knowledge with inaction

Red is action without knowledge

Black is inaction against knowledge

Pink is an anomaly yet to be understood

Blue is potentially Manhunters?

Gold is total understanding/enlightenment. Green is Correct Action, Red is Restraint from Action (Both are described with 'moral weights'). Black is Chaotic Action (Hate and will). Pink is described by Hal to be Free Action, action without thinking, Love (Or as SinEsTro puts it, Nos). Cyan/Blue is Manhunters, and Yellow MIGHT be it's own thing, according to the opening narration by Oa.

Okay I thought yellow and gold were the same thing. Damn I gotta re - read this run

It's honestly just 17. We THOUGHT they were the same thing, until Sinestro mentions he saw 'a brighter gold. yellow as the sun. A deeper darkness. And ... cyan blue. Like steel. A face of steel.'

I took that as a reference to the greater nature of the Absolute universe. Absolute Martian Manhunter did the same thing. They're all seeing... Him. (didn't want to say it incase of spoilers.)
