The Tenth Heightening grants Color Distortion, the natural and intrinsic ability to bend light around white objects within their BioChroma, creating colors from them as if from a prism.{{book ref|wb|15}} It is unclear if these colors can be used to fuel Awakening.

White objects cannot be be drained to grey.{{wob ref|11713}}
