The Chromatic Threshold exists only at the exact moment of bag tag transfer, creating a visible prismatic shimmer in the air that temporarily reveals the true geometric worthiness of competitors. It marks the precise instant when the cosmic composition shifts to accommodate new color relationships.

The Chromatic Threshold represents the ultimate test of worthiness - competitors who can maintain their chromatic integrity through multiple Threshold moments are deemed worthy of the Grays' eternal observation and continue to be curated as meaningful brushstrokes in the eternal masterpiece.
