2 pm, 1600 mcg mB12 and methylfolate, 150 mg 5-HTP.
The colour represents a mood between mania and depression at the baseline, while being between stability and instability/mixed (a tiny bit more towards mixed). So rather changeable. Volatility scale is not linear time-wise, but it is linear frequency-distribution-wise (more or less).
The lighter the colour, the more volatile the mood, the more mood changes, cycling moods.
I might change that scheme to include severity and reduce the current dimensions.
Edit:
But severity may be rather dependent, able to be described by a function, derived.
Now, there is dimension including dysphoric mania and incongruently/bipolar psychotic depression or clearly alternating mood polarity but faster than one can determine the colour.
Anxiety may deserve a separate dimension, but may also (in part) be derived from volatility and mood range.
Another edit:
I've added two dimensions: strength of (possibly ambivalent) beliefs and anxiety. Together with volatility (say over the last week; this could mean the end of a long period of mania and severe depression, not just longer mixed states) they determine the colour's tone.
The valences (points on each scale) are 2, 2 and 4, respectively. The proportional (ratios of) influences are 1/2, 1/4 and 1/4 respectively.
If anyone is interested I might write a decision tree algorithm.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
