The root text for the Six Sages comes out of the short version of the Guhyagarbha in twenty-two chapters. The colours of the six different sages are not always consistent between 'Revealed Treasure' traditions. There are different Treasure Revealers (terton) associated with the Six Sages such as the Karma Lingpa, Ratna Lingpa and Jatson Nyingpo traditions.
