(3rd replier replying again)

On the color part : I just found out Bryke said energybending ALWAYS has the lights, so my excuses on that part - Amon is in no way an energybender.

Nonetheless, energybending (as I'm pulling from the Energybending page on this wiki) was once a common art that (for so far we know; we don't know if it's a nature or a nurture ability) 'everyone' was able to use; it's very well possible some people are born as energybenders without ever using the alongcoming abilities because they don't know - it seems as if energybending is lots harder - but Amon found some way to do it.

With that second alinea to soothe my failure in my earlier reply, again, it needs the colors and thus is impossible Amon uses it.

On a sidenote, something I just thought of : when Amon took Zolt's bending, his powers degraded, whereas Ozai's (real) power loss was accompanied with seeming pain; Ozai was unable to bend.

thus it seems rather illogical if the same effect would be the result, the same rate of loss wouldn't be in place... But instead, while Ozai lost his powers 'right' away (with no chance of using them between bending ability and loss of bending), Zolt's loss looked more like a numb-going; like a vein was pressed shut.
