Ok, so the "Seventh Coloumn" design definitely has a meaning, like everything else related to bungie, but I dont think it has anything to with that theory. Sorry.
You all seem to think that the wave of death from the Rings can be avoided, it can't. The Ring's effective range is 2.5 galactic radii. (343 guilty spark says it.) that means that the area affected is 5 times the size of the Milky Way galaxy. Sorry dude, but you are dead if you activate a Ring.
Sorry to burst your bubbles even more, but as 343 says, "In the case of an emergency shutdown, all of the rings are put on standy to be activated from a remote location." "The ARK, of course." That means that the ARK is not the primary means of activation, but a secondary failsafe.
I will however mention that there may be some truth to your theory of the Monitor color, but the hologram should have something more.
