"Black--" because obviously she'd start with her own "--is the magic of amorality and free will. It's blight and decay, freedom through power. It's the magic of the utmost responsibility and the refusal of fatalism - we strive to be the masters of our own selves and our own destinies, and to give up that power, to give in, is the worse sin. Black mana is, at it's heart, competence and using everything in your power to thrive. Blue is is the magic of logic and technology, and seeks freedom through knowledge. Blue is cunning and riddles and questions, seeking out secrets and creating opportunities by manipulating what it knows compared to what others do not. Blue is the color of control, of denial of resources to others, and most of all, of mastery. If black is mastery of the self, then blue is mastery of a subject. It's the magic of illusion, thought, and the future."
She paused to take a sip of her wine. Red and blue were easy, they were allied with black and she sometimes dabbled with both, like with her attack on the Walmart. Green and white were black's enemy colors and, sure, she used to use white as a healing cleric, but that had been two hundred years ago.
"White is the magic of community, of structure, of law. It is the magic of civilization, ultimately, prioritizing morality, order, and conformity. White magic believes in freedom through peace - any peace. Peace through fascistic crackdowns is just as legitimate as peace through cohesion and even the peace of the grave."
White did have the most board removal spells, after all.
"It's proud and righteous, through rigid. It is very much the magic of 'the needs of the many'. It is healing and solace and succor, but it is also...uniformity. Conformity. And finally green. It's the power of nature, of growth, of unchecked vitality. It is the magic of ancient wisdoms that cannot be taught, only experienced. Freedom through interdependence. It is the color of harmony, but also the color of survival of the fittest. Nature is violent, the foodchain is a type of interdependence as well. It's instinct over thought and nature can cruel."
She looked at him. "There are no 'good' or 'evil' colors. They come from the land, which means they have no morality, which is a purely sapient construct. They simply are."
