"C lights COSMOGONE, the colour of remembered suns. The fecund, the foetid, the fungal: these flourish in the glow of cosmogone."[1]

A shade of the Neathbow heavily associated with Parabola, cosmogone is the color of remembered sunlight. The name "cosmogone" probably comes from the words "cosmogony", the study of the origin of the solar system or of the universe, and "gone".

Properties

Cosmogone light is warm,[2] albeit with a touch of coldness,[3] and encourages the growth of flora and fungi alike.[4] It is the color of the Parabolan sun, the Skin of the Sun, and is irresistible to the denizens of mirrors.[5]

Cosmogone is consistently portrayed as a shade of golden yellow or orange.

Uses

Cosmogone is the most prominent color in Ray-Drenched Cinders,[6] which also contain the radiances of other Neathbow colors like irrigo and violant.[7] It is also the tint of a Silverer's spectacles, thanks to its effect on Parabolan creatures.[5]
