The meaning of colors: what each color says about you

We often choose our colors by taste. Yet each one carries a meaning, an energy and a story: harmony, comfort, passion or serenity.

What does your favorite color say about you?

The color we prefer is never chosen entirely by chance: we wear it on a first date, paint our bedroom walls with it, find it in our favorite objects. It speaks of what drives us, what soothes us and what we need.

Conversely, a color that suddenly draws you in, when you had ignored it until then, often signals a new need: for calm, drive, protection or renewal. Each guide above helps you decode it.

A few color secrets

1.

Yellow owes its reputation for treachery to medieval painters, who dressed Judas in yellow.

2.

In the early 20th century, pink was recommended for little boys and blue for girls.

3.

The Egyptians called their country Kemet, “the black land”, after the fertile silt left by the Nile.

4.

Purple, long hugely expensive, became affordable in 1856 with mauveine, the first synthetic dye.

✦ ✦

The colors of the seven chakras

In the Indian tradition, each of the seven chakras vibrates with a color. A color that particularly draws you in often points to the chakra to pay attention to:

  • Red: the 1st, root chakra (Muladhara), grounding
  • Orange: the 2nd, sacral chakra (Svadhisthana), emotions and creativity
  • Yellow: the 3rd, solar plexus (Manipura), confidence
  • Green and pink: the 4th, heart chakra (Anahata), love
  • Blue: the 5th, throat chakra (Vishuddha), expression
  • Indigo: the 6th, third eye (Ajna), intuition
  • Purple and white: the 7th, crown chakra (Sahasrara), connection to the divine

✦

How to use colors in daily life

1.

In your clothes

Red to dare, blue to inspire trust, white for a fresh start.

2.

At home

Soft blues and greens in the bedroom, a touch of yellow or orange in living areas.

3.

In rituals

A candle in the color of your intention: pink for love, green for luck, white to purify.

✦ ✦

Your questions about colors

Which color should you wear to attract luck?

Green, the color of hope and growth, and yellow, the color of the sun and gold, are luck's two traditional allies.

Which color is the most soothing?

Sky blue and soft green are the colors of serenity; purple, by inviting meditation, also calms inner restlessness.

Does black bring bad luck?

No: the color of mourning in the West, it is also the color of elegance, protection and, in ancient Egypt, of fertile land.

Madison's insights: let colors guide you

Drawn to a color without knowing why? A psychic can help you understand what it says about this moment of your life and where it is pointing you. The future is mine.
