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.

Ela is the color of spirituality and faith. It's the sum of your principles and values, enshrining your moral and ethical code of conduct. Essentially it describes the intentions, if not the means, by which a person chooses to act.
With Vei, Ela carries the additional weight of honor and betrayal. Trust, accusations, and justice all emerge from these colors.
With Rha, Ela 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 Biz, Ela serves as life-giving water or the cold chill of winter. It also describes creatures that dwell in those habitats, such as swimming creatures.
Pfi and Jutu are the colors with the least associations with Ela. Logic and technology have little concern for your beliefs. Rogues trust no one and believe little, and so that role is generally in opposition to Ela (and Rha).
A pious cleric or political activist might be good examples of an Ela-based character. They are true believers with Biz and Vei as supporting colors, and a conflict with Rha. They often clash with leaders or the ruling class, and their efforts are aimed at converting others or enacting social change.
In the real world, a figure such as Mahatma Gandhi would be based in Ela, given his personal convictions and commitment to his cause. He'd have the support of his wealthy family and caste (Biz) or his wisdom and sensibilities (Vei), and he'd challenge the imperialists (Rha). Arguably, the man was actually much more complex, valuing goals such as love, truth, freedom, and peace simultaneously.
