Conditioned to think of paint or pigment as color, but it's actually more of a magical substance that alters the frequency of rebounding light waves. Paint has no actual color, but its' material composition is magical in that it can alter ambient energy that results in a metaphorical pouring out of color into the microcosm via the visual mechanism - ergo - magic in plain sight. No pun intended.
The beauty, the aesthetics of color, and the pigments whose function serve as medium for the resulting energetic(serpentine) transverse waves that propagate the terrestrial as well as the aethereal medium.
One may call it science, but in all actuality, it is a single facet of a greater, and for all intents and purposes, ineffable illusion, that goes to the very core of existence, and beyond...
So my take on it, in which I would place in a reasonable context, only focuses on an entity that is a light bearer, or, bringer; is, or is in control of light energy.
The serpentine association fits well since its' mode of transport is analogous to that of energy in the form of a 'sine' wave, noting that 'sine' and 'serpentine' are quite similar. Similar transport, different mediums, or, elements.
So there really isn't much trouble in making a significant and reasonable(scientific) connection between Lucifer, Satan, serpents, and light bringers, to energy and propagating(or slithering) serpentine energetic or materialistic waveforms.

There is light; there is dark. Light appears to be very relevant here the distance it may traverse in a year; how its' velocity affects time and allows me to complete a simple rhyme.
