The Color Red

The color red is the color of energy, passion and action

This color is a warm and positive color associated with our most physical needs
and our will to survive. It exudes a strong and powerful masculine energy.
Red is energizing. It excites the emotions and motivates us to take action.
It signifies a pioneering spirit and leadership qualities, promoting ambition and
determination. It is also strong-willed and can give confidence to those who are
shy or lacking in will power.
Being the color of physical movement, the color red awakens our physical life
force. It is the color of sexuality and can stimulate deeper and more intimate
passions in us, such as love and sex on the positive side or revenge and anger
on the negative. It is often used to express love, as in Valentines Day, however
it relates more to sexuality and lust, rather than love love is expressed with
pink.
At its most positive it can create life with its sexual energy, or use its negative
expression of anger and aggression to fuel war and destruction.
The color red can stimulate the appetite, often being used in restaurants for
this purpose. It also increases craving for food and other stimuli.

Being surrounded by too much of the color red can cause us to become
irritated, agitated and ultimately angry. Too little and we become cautious,
manipulative and fearful.

In Eastern cultures such as China red is the color for good luck. Although
times are changing and many Chinese brides now wear white, it is traditionally
the color for weddings. In Indian culture it symbolizes purity and is often used
in their wedding gowns.

and blue. Violet has the highest vibration in the visible spectrum.

While the violet is not quite as intense as purple, its essence is similar.
Generally the names are interchangeable and the meaning of the colors
is similar. Both contain the energy and strength of red with the

spirituality and integrity of blue. This is the union of body and soul
creating a balance between our physical and our spiritual energies.

consciousness. For this reason it is associated with transformation of the
soul and the philosophers of the world are often attracted to it.

imagination and dreams, while spiritually calming the emotions. They

psychics are all inspired by violet and its magic and mystery.

indecisive - the fence-sitter.
From a color psychology perspective, gray is the color of compromise - being

gets to silver or white, the more illuminating and lively it becomes.

sense of calm and composure, relief from a chaotic world.

maturity and responsibility, associated with the gray hair of old age. It will
never be the centre of attention, the dynamic leader or the director - it is too
safe and toned down.
It can stifle and depress energy but it is also the stable base from which the
new and positive can come.
Gray is controlled. It has a steadying effect on other colors with which it comes
into contact, toning down the stronger and brighter colors and illuminating the
softer colors. Rarely is gray a perfect mix of black and white - it often has
elements of other colors such as blue, green, pink, mauve or yellow within it
which lift it and energize it.
Too much of the color gray creates sadness and depression and a tendency to
loneliness and isolation. Add some color to change this.
Most people are indifferent to gray- it relates to the corporate worker in the gray
suit - conservative, reliable, formal and independent and maybe boring.
If your favorite color is gray, it will reflect in your personality! Personality color

The Color White
The

meaning

of

the

color

white

is

purity,

innocence, wholeness and completion

White is color at its most complete and pure, the color of perfection. The color
meaning of white is purity, innocence, wholeness and completion.
In color psychology white is the color of new beginnings, wiping the slate clean,
so to speak. It is the blank canvas waiting to be written upon. While white isn't
stimulating to the senses, it opens the way for the creation of anything the
mind can conceive.
White contains an equal balance of all the colors of the spectrum, representing
both the positive and negative aspects of all colors. Its basic feature is equality,
implying fairness and impartiality, neutrality and independence. It is
interesting to note that babies come into the world with a perfect balance of
white, ready to imprint their lives with all the colors of the spectrum
(hopefully!) from all their life experiences.
White is totally reflective, awakening openness, growth and creativity. You can't
hide behind it as it amplifies everything in its way.
The color white is cleanliness personified, the ultimate in purity!! This is why it
is traditionally worn by western brides, and the reason why doctors wear white
jackets.
White is a color of protection and encouragement, offering a sense of peace and
calm, comfort and hope, helping alleviate emotional upsets. It creates a sense
of order and efficiency, a great help if you need to declutter your life.

White offers an inner cleansing and purifying of your thoughts, emotions and,
ultimately, your spirit, refreshing and strengthening your entire energy system.
While there are very few negative connotations to white, particularly in western
culture, too much white can be cold, isolating and empty. It implies a feeling of
sterility, detachment and disinterest, providing little stimulation for the senses.
In other cultures it is traditionally related to death and mourning. In these
cultures death usually means the end of one life and the beginning of another,
moving forward to a new life, so the color psychology meaning of new
beginnings still holds.
White may indicate the completion of a cycle in your life - you may find you
have a desire for white clothing or white in your surroundings at a time when
you are moving in a new direction in your life - for example, planning an
overseas trip for the first time, or moving house after a long time in one place,
or in seeking a new relationship or a new career direction.
Many people use white as a recall of their youth and innocence. It reminds
them of a time when their lives were easier and less complicated.
White is used in many medical practices such as dental surgeries and doctors'
rooms as an indication of cleanliness and efficiency; however it also can give
the feeling of sterility and coldness of emotions and may lead patients to think
the doctor or dentist won't relate to them on an emotional and personal level. It
can be too clinical and sterile.
Too much white can cause feelings of isolation and emptiness; it can be too
pristine and immaculate, making you feel as though you can't make a move for
fear of upsetting it or creating a mess.
If your favorite color is white, it will reflect in your personality!Personality
color white will give you more information on this.

this trait.

You may be wishing to create simplicity in your life - perhaps a wish to

re-create your childhood, lost youth and happier times in your past life.

You can be quite sexually prudish with your need for self-control and
perfection.

You hide your flaws from others to give an impression of perfection.

You may appear to be shy, but you do have strong beliefs about most

Your deepest need is to create simplicity in your life and to be independent

and self-reliant so you do not need to depend on anyone else.
The Color Black
The color black relates to the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, and as a
result it creates an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside, hidden
from the world.
In color psychology this color gives protection from external emotional stress. It
creates a barrier between itself and the outside world, providing comfort while

protecting its emotions and feelings, and hiding its vulnerabilities, insecurities
and lack of self confidence.
Black is the absorption of all color and the absence of light. Black hides, while
white brings to light. What black covers, white uncovers. We all use black at
various times to hide from the world around us in one way or another. Some of
us use it to hide our weight; others among us use it to hide our feelings, our
fears or our insecurities.
In color psychology, black means power and control, hanging on to information
and

things

rather

than

giving

out

to

others.

Black is intimidating, unfriendly and unapproachable because of the power it

exudes. It can prevent two-way communication because of its intimidation. The
salesman wearing all black will make a lot of sales, but no friends! It radiates
authority, but creates fear in the process.
Black implies self-control and discipline, independence and a strong will, and
giving an impression of authority and power.
Black absorbs negative energy. It is useful to carry something black with you to
protect you from harm and negativity when traveling or when going about your
usual daily activities outside your home.
People who like black may be conventional, conservative and serious, or they
may think of themselves as being sophisticated or very dignified.
The color black is often seen as a color of sophistication, as in 'the little black
dress', or 'the black tie event'. Affluent and success orientated women often
choose black as it can give an impression of elegance, sophistication and
confidence.
Black is often associated with sexiness and seduction, as in the temptress in

sexy black lingerie creating an air of mystery and intrigue. It can also imply
submission to another (including a sexual partner), similar to the priest
wearing black robes in submission to God.
Black is the end, but the end always implies a new beginning. When the light
appears, black becomes white, the color of new beginnings.
Teenagers often have a psychological need to wear black during the stage of
transition from the innocence of childhood to the sophistication of adulthood. It
signifies the ending of one part of their life and the beginning of another,
allowing them to hide from the world while they discover their own unique
identity. It is important they go through this stage but a worry when it
continues on into adult years if they continue to wear black to the exclusion of
other colors.
Too much black can cause depression and mood swings and create a negative
environment. Combined with white only, it can create an argumentative
atmosphere. It is best to use some color with black to lighten and brighten its
energy.
