• Colors and Life: How They Can Affect Our Emotions

Aries: the Red Color

Red is one of the boldest and brightest colors that humans can see. It stimulates and inspires a lot of different things: hunger, anger, love and luck. Red reminds us of sports jerseys and landing the winning goal. It’s energizing and competitive. It can also make us feel hungry (that’s why so many food chains use it in their branding). Red also encapsulates the passion you feel when falling in love. In the East red is a color for good luck and is worn by brides on their wedding day.

Taurus: the Power of the Green Color

Bright greens are the color associated with Taurus. Green is the color that connects us to mother nature; its effects are calming. Have you ever wondered why the waiting room backstage is called a green room? That’s because the color green connects us to a feeling of safety and it helps regulate your nervous system. The color green can also help you enhance your memory! 

Gemini: Yellow Color Theory

Yellow energizes and inspires. It’s the color of mental clarity and extroversion, two arenas where Gemini tends to shine. Yellow is often used for children’s toys because of its ability to inspire creative thinking and problem solving. There is the downside that too much yellow can overstimulate the mind, so be cautious of this and use it sparingly if you have a tendency to become overstimulated.

Cancer: Silver Color Theory

Silver is the color associated with the moon, the luminary which rules over Cancer. Mirrors used to be made of silver, so this is a color which inspires self reflection and observation. Silver connects us both to the past and the future. There is a refined sophistication and quiet luxury found in the color silver, but it is also the color associated with technology and futuristic imagery. Cancer often finds themselves torn between the past and the future!

Leo: the Power of the Gold Color

Gold is the color associated with royalty–kings and queens. Unlike understated silver, it’s a color that evokes a sense of superiority. When utilized in excess it can promote a grandiose self image. At the same time it is a color of wisdom. The sun–the ruling planet of Leo–is the oldest human deity and its color is gold.

Virgo: Dark Green and Light Brown

Think of the color of hazel eyes, that’s the color combo that can supercharge your Virgo placements. Virgo’s colors are earthy, muted yet bursting with growth and life. These colors can sometimes fall into the background, but it is their foundational nature that enhance Virgo’s dexterity, determination and steadfastness. Inviting more greens and browns in your life will enhance your natural curiosity and keep you focused on your goals and to do lists.

Libra: Pink Color Theory

It’s only very recently (as early as the mid 20th century) that pink became associated with gender, up until then it was worn by everyone. Pink invokes the gentle, sweet feelings of love and romance. It enhances nurturing and sensitivity, and also promotes a sense of fun and playfulness. However, too much pink can invoke childishness or naivete, so be sure to balance it out with your other power colors. 

Scorpio: Black Color Theory

Black is the color of protection. Using black in spell work helps to keep the caster protected from unwanted energies and entities. In a social setting it can help you hold stronger energetic boundaries. Black invokes a feeling of power, but it is also sophisticated and sexy (think: little black dress). Black also symbolizes death and the mourning process of grief. 

Sagittarius: Purple Color Theory

Purple is the color associated with royalty since, in the past, purple dyes were expensive and hard to come by. This meant that only royalty could afford the color. Purple is also the color of the crown chakra, the energy center connected to our spiritual selves. So this color invites a sense of intrigue, mystery and spiritual calmness as well. 

Capricorn: Dark Brown and Grey Colors

Dark brown is grounding while also invoking a certain sophistication. Dark wood is bold, in a very earthy way. It’s a muted luxury that inspires intellectualism and comfort, like a beautiful library. Grey enhances wisdom (think of the grey hairs you grow as you get older). Too much grey inspires conformity though, so it’s best used as an accent piece, unless getting lost in the crowd is your goal.

Aquarius: White and Light Blue Colors

White inspires new beginnings, much like a blank white piece of paper is ready for the artist’s undertaking. While that blank page is ready for whatever comes its way, white also represents the emptiness and the daunting feeling that comes before creation. However, light blue inspires calmness and helps to cultivate a space of contemplation (so that you can actually fill up that blank page).

Pisces: Pale and Seafoam Green Colors

Seafoam green connects us to the serenity one feels in the presence of the ocean. Though the ocean can be a tumultuous place, seafoam green invokes the peaceful qualities of the sea. Green can also inspire you to make healthier choices (think: green smoothies). Inviting pale green into your life allows more space for spiritual healing.
