Converting the larger dots' RGB values (None go over 26) to letters gives:

Odd.

So how exactly did you capture each specific colour to then find out its values? I haven't seen one like this before so I am interested how you got to this point.

Manually, you can:

Highlight the target bullet
Right-click and select "Font"
On the "Font" tab, click the drop-down for "Font color"
Click on "More Colors..."

I made a Macro to do it a little faster.

I'm sure there is a clue in the structure, as well. But it eludes me.

Only the bullets seem to be relevant as all the spaces and carriage returns retain the last color used.

Yes, the stairstep structure is obviously meaning to point to something. I am pondering.

I know I'm pointing out the obvious, but a simple anagram is out. I would say a cipher, but this doesn't resemble any cipher I've seen before. Perhaps there is a keyword that we missed? I agree about the arrangement of the colors. It has to be significant somehow. Looking into it...

does the text at the bottom of the first page have anything to do with this?

Not sure at this point. It has been noticed that if you plunk the first square of letters (going down in columns to make 1 line of text) into a vigenere with the key 'jewels' you get ohdowncrl which resembles something but not much. This does not work for the nest "step" or square.

I thought the 3x3 pattern could have been a Caesar Square Cipher, but that doesn't look too promising either. Still looking.

I understand that I'm not the brightest star in the sky, but I still don't get anything in the Vigenere Square by reading down with the keyword "jewels". Is there something I'm missing?

I wasn't saying anything about using a vigenere square (I don't even know what that is). I was just saying that lisa was reading the letters in the wrong order, which might affect her findings.
