What each colour means

Colour is meaning you can see. Long before numerology assigned colours to numbers, every tradition that thought seriously about symbols had already worked out that red does something different to a room than blue does โ€” and numerology simply gives that intuition a number.

Below is what each colour carries: the quality it amplifies, the number it resonates with, and where it helps. For the colours attached to your own number, see lucky colours by Life Path.

Using colour with your number

Start with the colours of your Life Path number โ€” those are your baseline. Then use individual colours deliberately: a colour is most useful when you are short of the quality it carries, not when you already have plenty of it. See also aura colours and crystals by number.
