Well - I swear I tried every colour combination but apparently I missed one. After trying again, I made it through the gates! Hooray for dumb persistence :D

Can you give more hints? I tried picking up the green/cyan/grey balls & was only able to pick up the grey. Can then place this in the centre of the 3 crystals and get a different colour depending on what the 3 crystals are set to. But I can't see what to do next. Can't place the re-coloured ball on the empty plinth. Still can't pick up the green or cyan. I've read the two plaques as well. Setting the 3 crystals (holy trinity?) to R/G/B (or R/G/clear) gives Gold but still can't do anything with it.
Replying to myself (always the way - post an ask and the problem goes away!). Had to max out Sensitivity to unlock some actions, allowing Desperation to be maxed, which unlocked other actions. Once all unlocked actions had been done at least once, Ruin maxed out and further actions resulted in things progressing.
Stuck too. Can increase Sensitivity * OR * Desperation to max, but when trying to fill the non-maxed bar, the maxed bar drops. Also Ruin is stuck at around 90% (percentage numbers on the bars would be a nice thing to add at some point!). I believe I've seen every action at least once.
There's also no way to exit (presumably until all three bars are maxed?) that I can see.
