Relevance of colours in magic T-hexagon diagram

[edit]
Are the colours relevant?

I wish to vectorise this diagram. Would anyone know if the colours are mathematically relevant (or purely aesthetic)? Thanks, cmɢʟeeτaʟκ 18:33, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They were helpful in explaining restrictions on the search space that made its discovery possible, as described on this archived page: "The Magic T-Hexagon of Side 2". This specific one was the first found. I do not see a relevance extending beyond its use as an aid in explaining the search process on that archived page.  --Lambiam 21:35, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
