The multicoloured-hatted god—the stranger god—is a trickster.
She, like Being, shows ‘many colours’: 
.
But there are several pitfalls here, as with any comparison.
First, Being isn’t as simple as two colours: there are infinite colours. And colours are metaphoric: there are infinite dispersals.
Second, there isn’t one entity, one being, underlying all appearances. The trickster god is an image of an essential duplicity—or, rather, multiplicity, multiduplicity—at the core of occurrence. — This is ultimately the trickster’s greatest trick: she makes it appear as though all appearances are emanations from one central figure. (This is the trick that the prismatic gods play in leading us to think of Being as a pure white light; §3.35.)
Third, it isn’t that, at first, both farmers got only a portion of the story and then, at the end, got the whole account; rather, the farmers each had a whole story earlier, too. Imagine, for instance, that by the end they were still arguing and only we knew the story of the stranger god. — The stranger god is our explanation: the farmers each see things from their world — just as we see the red-black combination from ours. In other words, ‘red-black’ is just another ‘colour.’ (To understand this point, note we aren’t discussing empirical reality; the colours represent different worlds.)
We know that there are other worlds — without ever knowing how they are fully.
