Besides the seven main chakras, I also tested for the application of color to the spleen chakra (front or rear aspect to the left of the third chakra) and the chakras on either side of the temple. There are many small chakras on the skull, but I chose to work with the one above the ear because light could be projected on it without proximity to the sixth and seventh chakras.
The spleen chakra most often benefited from a bright pink color. It made sense that a shade of red would be used with the spleen which is a blood filter. The rear aspect of the spleen chakra absorbs solar prana when sunbathing.
The temples most often received the same darkest shade of blue that was used most on the third eye.
I found the fourth through seventh chakras required treatment much more frequently than the lower three chakras. I believe this was because the lower three chakras are active in all people, while the upper four chakras hunger for stimulation of their latent spiritual energies.
Another statistical analysis of the data that proved meaningful was the percentage of time a chakra received one of the 60 colors falling within a spectral band. The following table illustrates this for the upper five chakras, as the first chakra, second chakra, spleen chakra and temples were not treated often enough for a valid interpretation.

In looking at the data this way, we again see that green and blue are the most commonly used colors, with the blue coming out on top. Orange remains the least frequently used color.
