To quote the guy in A Princess Bride, "I'm not sure that word means what [he] think[s] it means"--namely, "quaternity," which means "a union of a group or set of four." So what the heck is "the simple [union-of-four] of colour"? Hmm? And "chiaroscuro" means shading, a mix of light and dark. Does color (whether in a group of four or not) "complexify" into a mix of light and dark? These big words aren't making any kind of sense.
(And actually, you could argue that the others aren't, either. What is a flux of flash, exactly? And the meaning of "firmament" that he's used is very obscure--usually "firmament" means "the heavens," but here he's using it to mean "activity"--but what does it mean to talk about fierce activity in the deep structure of the afterworld. What is meant by "the deep structure of the afterworld," for that matter?)
Complex, ornate language can be okay, but you have to make it mean something.
