Robert Greene is mostly an orange/yellow on the SD. He has the more strategic and holistic perspectives (Yellow) on his later books like The Laws of Human Nature and Mastery compared to his earlier books (which are heavy orange) 'The 48 Laws of Power' and The Art of  Seduction. 

He is one of the more developed self-help writers in the industry but has no clue about how deep spirituality and its implications go in shaping one's life. He has a 30 min daily zen practice but that is mostly for improving performance rather than investigating insights towards what is true.

Due to his ignorance on the depth of spirituality, his book on the laws of human nature is full of generalization on the assumption that a self that craves and desires is not only natural but also a fundamental aspect of being a healthy human being. Which means he assumes that self is real. And due to this, the book is not well suited for anyone who are on the path to awakening. Many things will rub you the wrong way. He is still relatively orange.
