Sarumon of Many Colours - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ever see a rainbow? Its source is none other than white light. Saruman's point was that white could be broken into 'many colors' rather easily. Another issue is that one color apparently had advantages over another. There is yet another color greater than white if I remember correctly. If I'm not mistaken, according to the hierarchy black was yet stronger.

Had white been the strongest of colors, then There would have been lesser problems (or fewer) than confronting the dark lord. Even Radagast the brown could have defeated Sauron if this were the case. Black can not be easily masked, yet it covers over everything (any doubts, just try using a black highlighter next time you study); which brings up another point: A white page is a blank page.

By changing his color, Saruman could have taken advantage of the weaknesses of others in his order; All save Sauron (I'm still looking into the Maiar, of which Saurons order originated).
