Rha is the color of personality and leadership. It represents the sum of your choices and their consequences on others, expressing who you are and what you stand for. In short, it describes how belief translates into action, and the difficult decisions made along the way.
With Sace, Rha represents love, hate, or other bonds of friendship or passion. It bridges the gap between anger and fire, or emotional intimacy and passions of the flesh.
With Ela, Rha helps define your character or personal style. Some believe that these are the base colors of the soul, or that they're the basis of one's social life and interactions.
With Dau, Rha includes the element of fire and the season of summer. Activities such as fishing, bonding, or wrestling that include the draw of Rha with the physicality of Dau are also associated with the colors.
Pfi and Jutu are the colors with the least associations with Rha. Logic and technology have little concern for your feelings. Rogues most often break with leaders, and so that role is generally in opposition to Rha (and Ela).
A fallen paladin or samurai might be a good example of a character based in Rha. They have strong personalities with Dau and Sace as supporting colors, and a conflict with Ela. Their struggle is how to align their beliefs and actions; once they were leaders, and they can be so again.
In the real world, Einstein might be a good example of a Rha+Pfi character that breaks convention without relying on Sace or Dau. A pop music star might have high Sace, but low Rha, as they remain popular but struggle to differentiate themselves. Hitler would arguably fit the classic mold, having high Rha, Dau, Ela, and Sace.

Biz is the color of fortune, wealth, and luck. It's the accumulated karmic value of your actions and the material value that flows from that. High Biz individuals seize opportunities, making the most of their lucky breaks while surviving their worst star-crossed days.
With Ela, Biz serves as the liquidity of water or the harshness of winter. It also describes creatures that dwell in those habitats, such as swimming creatures.
With Dau, Biz represents fate, destiny, survival, and nature. Natural selection and survival of the fittest are the hallmarks of these colors.
With Yun, Biz includes workers, traders, laborers, and merchants. Those whose physical efforts and personal wealth are intertwined stem from these colors.
Glei and Quae are the colors with the least overlap with Biz. Chance and skill have always been somewhat at odds, and the high minded aspirations of those colors often conflict with the immediate needs of Biz.
A rich merchant might be a good example of a Biz centered character. She thrives by capitalizing on opportunities by facilitating the flow of goods and services. Especially in this pseudo-medieval fantasy world, goods produced in lands of abundance (Yun) often travel over the sea (Ela), threatened by brigands or bandits that take what they want by force (Dau).
Frane Selak might be a real-world example of a Biz centered character. He survived his first brush with death by swimming from a train wreck through an icy river. He then went on to survive several other freakish accidents by sheer luck. Later in life he bought a lottery ticket and managed to win a million dollars. Many of his worst encounters were against fire or required clutch strength to pull through.
Biz maps most closely to the classic color Spring Green or Turquoise:

Once a stockpile (some say graveyard) of ancient Teotl, this junkyard has been stripped of all its worth. Now considered the slum of slums in the capitol city of Ravenoir, the Heap is home to those who've wasted their lives...and have nothing else to lose.
Examples:
...Tag the Heap to pull a scrap from the junkyard (create an advantage)
..Heapsters believe it to be bad luck to remove old junk without replacing it with new junk
