Wow! Thanks for reading through the whole thing. I was wondering if anyone would even stop to read it.

Concerning the whole robots and Red Dust theory, I based that off of Adam cutting them up and their insides being completely red. If I assume your grey Dust theory to be true, then really the reason they glow red might be because of lights or as you said "some red-colored lens."

Actually I kind of like the grey Dust powering machinery idea. Maybe it's something like the "inner essence of metal" that can be used to animate metal objects.

I know that when Ruby cut the Beowolves open, they were red inside. But see the thing is...they were also red inside when they were alive. Just look at their eyes and the inside of their mouths. That was the reason for me saying they were beings of red Dust.

BUT I now realize that I had misheard Jen Taylor's narration at the beginning of the series. Nowhere does it say that Man AND the Grim were born of Dust. Man was definitely born from Dust but the Grim are just "creatures of destruction." Origins unknown. So...the Beowolves probably aren't made of red Dust.

As for Ruby's cape and the rose petals...yeah I'm not even going to try and explain that.

Blue is definitely water. Actually the opposite of blue on the color wheel would be orange. Since orange is fire and heat, blue has to be water.

I knew that the green one was really iffy. I think I was just desperate to come up with something. I wanted to come up with something different from just "Oh its Nature and life" like it says on the wiki because I already had red pinned down as vitality. If we use the color wheel to reason out what green is, since it's the opposite of red, green has to be poison...or something like that. If red is vitality and strength, then green is what will suck that out.
