Black-Hole Goblins Orbiting pattern

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described pattern as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

Sensitive goblins describe the energy of pattern as 'mostly indigo, with a teal undertone in the second half.' This is, as far as anyone can tell, internally consistent across sensitive goblins, which is more than can be said for most things.
