What does the color yellow mean?

The color of the sun, yellow is also the color of gold and wheat: it evokes wealth, power and abundance. Very warm, it stands for joy, good spirits and celebration, and symbolizes human warmth and the bonds that unite us. It is a stimulating color that lifts the mood.

Yet it has a flip side: betrayal, deceit and jealousy. Some people still avoid it for fear of being betrayed. As the color of the desert, it can also evoke a certain dryness of the heart.

👉 In the Middle Ages, painters often dressed Judas in yellow: this is where its Western reputation as the color of betrayal comes from. In China, by contrast, imperial yellow was reserved for the emperor.

What yellow says about your personality

If you love yellow, real strength lies within you. Strong but careful, you never rush in headfirst: you analyze the situation and every option before deciding. Methodical and strategic, yellow lovers make excellent project leaders.

Deeply optimistic, you radiate a joy of living, and it is contagious. Faithful, even exclusive in love, you bond easily and surround yourself with people who resemble you. Yellow is the color of Leo: sunshine, radiance and a taste for luxury suit this sign perfectly.

Optimism

Contagious good spirits, even in hard times.

Method

The art of analyzing before deciding.

Faithfulness

Strong bonds in love and friendship.

Watch out for

Naivety, stubbornness, well-hidden stress.

Yellow in spirituality: the light of the solar plexus

Yellow is associated with the 3rd chakra, Manipura, the solar plexus chakra: the center of will, confidence and personal radiance. The brighter the yellow, the more it symbolizes self-esteem and pride; the paler it gets, the more it speaks of lost confidence.

In excess, it can tip into selfishness and vanity. As the color of light and clarity, above all it helps you know yourself better and find the drive that moves you forward.

In India, yellow is the color of spring: at Vasant Panchami, the festival of the goddess Saraswati, people dress in yellow in honor of knowledge and of the flowering mustard fields.

  • Keep a citrine on your desk: the sun stone extends the energy of its color.

Key takeaways 📌

  • The color of the sun and gold: joy, wealth, celebration and human warmth.
  • A flip side: betrayal, ever since the Judas of medieval painters.
