c. When the defensive player uses the colored portion of the double base, the batter-runner can run in fair territory when the throw is coming from the foul side of first base, and if hit by the thrown ball, it is not interference. If intentional interference is ruled, the runner is out.

Yeah, of course they would hide it in the Double-First Base rule, and not mention it in the runner's lane rule like USA Softball does. I stand corrected.
Good catch.
