absolute gem

A fact is absolute.

An uncolored truth.

Or is it?

Come closer, explore, and take another look.

Is it actually a prism? Shading each volume of the room with variants of color.

In this space, truth bursts with overtones of fiery red.

And over there, it’s morose—a shade of blue peeled from a cocoon, reluctant to the exposure.

A sliver between casts a plume of purple—mashing together a layered perspective.

All the colors radiate, sparkle, and energize this space. 

Perhaps we rephrase?

A fact is an absolute gem.
