Color Symbolism
Is the "red" I see, the same as the "red" you see? Maybe we'll never know because each one of us interprets the frequencies of the color spectrum in our own way. Nonetheless, each frequency, or color, affects us differently. Many studies have been done to determine how colors affect our moods, what the colors in our auras mean, and how colors can be used in healing. Here you'll find some color ideas to experiment with in your own life.

If you like red, it will charge you up and make you feel powerful. You are probably a person with a real zest and passion for life.
If you don't like red, it will feel intimidating to be around. You may be seeking more peace in your life and less drama. Red is definitely a color that moves you into action!
|
| Orange |
Orange is a color between red and yellow that stimulates energy, creativity and activity. Orange is an appetite stimulate and definitely a color for those who like to experiment a little. Orange speaks of friendliness and fun.

If you're not too fond of green you may not like the social scene, and you may tend to want to be more withdrawn. |
| Pink |
Pink is often associated with the feminine energy, with love, nurturing and the heart. It can be sensual, but in an innocent way, unlike its hotter cousin, "red." People who like pink are often nurturing and emotional, peope who don't would rather have red's passion and intensity, and may be uncomfortable with the softer side of feeling.
|
| Blue |
Blue is a peaceful color symbolizing the heavely skies, and the bottomless depths of the ocean. Blue is calming and uplifting and speaks of truth. It has been shown to help one lower blood pressure, respiration, and heart rate. Blue is believed in many cultures to ward off evil spirits, and was considered the color of the gods in others. It is calming, balancing, and comforting.
If you don't like blue you may find it a bit too severe, or you may want more change in your life.
|
| Purple |
Purple signifies deep passion, royalty, spirit, and perhaps because it has the highest frequency in the visible spectrum, purple is the color of the mystic. People who like purple are often individuals who are creative and generous.
If purple is too frivolous for you, you may tend toward the more practial side of life. |
| Brown |
Brown is the color of the earth -- stable and well-rooted. Brown makes one feel strong, firm, and secure. People who like browns tend to want security rather than change, or perhaps prefer to go with the flow a bit, rather thank seeking change out in an assertive manner.
If you don't like brown, you probably crave more excitement and glamour in your life. |
| Black |
Black has been given many negative connotations but it is actually the color of death, mystery, and the womb. It signifies the great unknown, and therefore can be appealing or very frightening to some. If you like black, you may want an air of mystery around you, while if you don't, you would probably prefer to know what is coming up on the road ahead. |
| White |
White has been used to symbolize purity and the divine. It is clean, crisp and inviting to some, too cold for others. When many shades of white are mixed,you have an inviting and cozy atmosphere. When there is only one shade, the room may feel too stark. If you like white, you may pay attention to cleanliness and detail and prefer simplicity.
If you don't , you may want a little more chaos and friendly clutter in your life. You're a little more easygoing; perhaps a little more colorful yourself. |
