Complete Colour Reference
by Zeus
~~RED~~
Red is the most forcible of colors, with a constantly active urge. It does not necessarily denote a headstrong nature, despite such phrases as "seeing red," for it may be cold and calculating as well as vigorous. People who like red are stalwart and their bravery is often evidenced. But if badly goaded, they may become vengeful. Analysts are therefore apt to regard this as a fiery color whereas it actually represents virility, so flair-ups by persons with this preference may result from normal experiences. Being challengers, they frequently have encounters with persons who are just as determined as themselves. Red includes such traits as passion, drive, endurance, boldness and other qualities that lead to joy of life and love of adventure. Add to that the fact that the vibratory influence of red, like that of other colors, may run from he extremes of the utter physical to that of the sheer mental. You will then realize how rarely all the red elements are embodied in one personality.

So from a psychic standpoint, red has all of the significant meanings that are relevant to the conscious and subconscious awareness of our nature because it is a life-giving ray. Some interpret it as the energy of the other God. It also is associated astrologically with the planet Mars, the God of War. In meditation, you will see red with your mind's eye but it has a tranquillity in it's transparentness. Feeling will bring focus to the meaning of the color that you sense or feel with someone else.
~~ORANGE~~
Orange is a color of high aspiration. People with that vibration are proud and self-sufficient, yet by direct manner and approach they impress other people stronger. The drive of red is found in the orange aura, but it is high-minded and usually restrained or deficient on the sensual side, its one aim being ambition. That handicaps the orange nature, for it shows a lack of warmth. The orange temperament is social because it wants success. So orange folk go out of their way to gain popularity, which may cause people to mistrust them. Orange rides over opposition, however, through sheer exuberance and inventive ability. Orange people get what they want, and if conceited, they are also contented. Whatever their course, they justify it in their own minds, which gives them confidence, but often narrows their outlook. With orange as your color, you must learn to recognize your own limitations. You must realize that intelligence and logic are not the only things that count in life. To make people like you, first you should like them.

~~YELLOW~~
Yellow is a much maligned color that actually deserves the highest rating, but only as a strong, full-bodied hue. Where orange leans to intelligence, yellow shows intellectuality. It is the color of the sun and Oriental mystics use it to dispel evil, as the sun's rays banish the dark. In more practical terms, yellow denotes the scientific mind that overcomes ignorance. Yellow also denotes artistry. As your color, yellow gives you wisdom and marks you as creative, but to what degree is the question. Many persons admit that the yellow which appeals to them is not the golden glow, but a paler, duller shade. With such a yellow, wisdom is restrained by caution. This shows a retiring nature, given to wishful thinking, too timid to take the risks that would lead to success. Vivid yellow, in contrast, shows the person who will take a chance with confidence and win. Dull yellow marks a selfish individual, too introspective to make the most of opportunity. Yellow-brown is worst, literally both muddy and muddly. If such a color appeals to you, it is time to think in better shades of your favorite color, yellow.

~~GREEN~~
Green is the great color of nature and those who emanate that aura are not only adaptable to circumstances, but are generally both sympathetic and sentimental. Those factors are perhaps their greatest weakness. They are fond of companionship and therefore inclined to take life too easily. If they don't succeed as they should, they sometimes blame everybody and everything except themselves. As the diametric opposite of red, green is slow to anger and restrained of action. People with this vibration are as firm, as immutable as nature itself. Their power grows slowly but formidable, and there is no way of repressing their friendly but determined spirit. They are conformists, but in their own way. Once they feel that they are right, nothing can force them to change their opinions. If green is your color, you may be a bit "green" at times, but people will like you all the better. Just don't fritter away idly, as this calm color vibration is apt to let you do. Seek action, because you should be capable of it. However, the shade of your aura may have some bearing there. With greens, shades make the difference, more so perhaps than with any other color. Various other hues could be mentioned, but the general rule will suffice. Toward yellow, green becomes unstable; toward blue, it turns overly smart. Find the balance point and focus your vibration there is green is your favorite color.

~~BLUE~~
Blue is a powerful vibratory influence, living up to the expression of "true blue" and at the same time going far beyond such scope. It is a color that mixes sensitivity with fervor, so eager to do right that it may take the wrong way to that purpose. The sky is blue, but it varies from the light hue of azure to the near-black of midnight. Thus do the moods of the blue vibration vary. Not only that, it is difficult to find a person whose blue aura maintains a constant shade. It may descend to the depths of the "blues" and then rise to the inspired heights that come "once in a blue moon." So with blue, you should try to find your most suitable hue and hold it. Generally speaking, all blue shows some measure of devotion. You make friends readily, but often in a formal way. Blue is a cold color, with a certain self-sufficiency, but persons with this aura recognize the value of cooperative effort and therefore exert it. Where red responds to warm, primitive urges, and green absorbs the vitality of nature, blue turns to the sky and sea for inspiration. In seeking higher, deeper things, blue has become the predominate color in modern life. In business, social and educational circles, blue far exceeds red as a motivating color, making blue the favorite color of many thinking persons. Mixtures with other colors disturb the steadfast trend of blue. A leaning to black or brown shows morbid or selfish inclinations. A strong tinge of gray creates uncertainty and even fear. A leaning to green, found in some shades of turquoise, shows an impetuous trend.

~~INDIGO~~
Indigo is a borderline color with a purplish tinge. It has the basic qualities of blue, but leans less to devotion and more to affection, finding outlets for their ideals by helping other people. Moodiness is more apt to grip such persons than those who favor lighter hues. Indigo is also a spiritual energy. There's not that much known about the vibration of indigo because it is so vast in feeling. Corresponding Characteristics

~~PURPLE~~
Purple is a color of grandeur and importance, often too strongly so. Its very richness seems to sway persons with this aura, and many people shy away from it as a favorite color, perhaps for that very reason. Like blue, this color has high ideals, but purple is given more to ritual than to devotion. Its self-esteem is so pronounced that people tuned to this vibration try to influence others accordingly. Sometimes that works out, but often the purple vanity proves its own undoing. Usually, persons who favor purple are unaware of their own faults, as they habitually avoid criticism. They turn their idealism into a form of perfectionism, living in their own world of illusion, often to their own full satisfaction. With purple, the term "out of sight, out of mind" applies to anything they do not like. Purple, as a result, is a soothing, harmonious color, with its meditative side. People with the purple aura often have literary, artistic or dramatic ability and they are highly imaginative and creative. This increases their self-satisfaction, for once aware of their genius, they are apt to flaunt it. But they are by no means self-effacing; the term "shrinking violet" refers strictly to the flower, not the color. Fewer persons emanate this aura than any other, but that is all the more reason why purple folk regard themselves as different, if not unique. Often they have a yearning for the mystic, for theirs is the hue of twilight, denoting the transition from day to darkness. Turning fantasy into reality is a common purple practice.
