Story history — History and later developments — spoilers
Katma Tui cannot explain a green lantern through color or light to someone with no experience of sight. Instead she teaches Rot Lop Fan to focus through a tone and a bell. The result is an individual expression of the same Corps power, not a separate emotional-spectrum organization. The origin appears in Green Lantern Corps Annual #3 (1987).
Reference scope: DC’s oath history identifies the annual and explains Katma’s use of sound. “F-Sharp Bell” describes how he understands and expresses ring power.
