Color Correspondences
By CinnamonMoon
While I can't do a complete color
definition at this time, I can share some of my own resource
notes that may prove helpful to some of you who have been showing
interest in this field of study...such as they are.
Black
Somberness, the unknown, night, fear, the womb comfort, night,
evil, loss, discord, confusion. High understanding in a quiet
way. Formality and convention. Dignity without false pride,
commanding respect. Dynamic, enabling driving home facts and
purposes emphatically. Strength. Gloom. Positive: protection,
birth, magic. Negative: secretiveness, sacrifice.
Blue
Womb, protection, spirituality, truth, sensitivity mixed with
fervor, eagerness to do the right thing. Devotion, good friendships
but formally so; self-sufficiency, aloof nature that is "cooler".
Cooperative natures. Business, social, and educational energies.
Thinking. Positive: happiness, calm, truth. Negative: depression,
loneliness.
Sky blue:
moodiness with ranges from azure to that of midnight skies,
inconsistent *shades*, from deep depression to high aspiration
and optimism.
Indigo/Ultramarine blue:
Leans less to devotion and more to affection. Outlets for ideals
by helping others. Occasional moodiness.
Azure blue:
Leans toward foregoing the world and dedication to noble causes.
Token of unselfish focus and spiritual interests.

Tranquility, understanding, patience, and health.
Dark blue:
Impulsiveness, depression, changeability.
Navy blue:
Strength, faithfulness, trust, consistency of purpose. Self-sufficiency
in a cooperative way. Reliability.
Brown
Hearth and home, earth energies, happiness in the home, hesitation,
uncertainty, neutrality. Firmness, definition, grounding, plain
and practical in nature. Plodding to success, solidity, plain-spoken
honesty, can cloud matters if going muddy. If dull and reddish
it betokens sensual trends.
Medium brown
shows a grasping personality.
Dark brown
indicates an irascible, fault-finding temper. Positive: grounded,
new growth. Negative: lack of discrimination.
Green
Fertility, regeneration, renewal, active energy, money, luck.
Nature, adaptable to circumstances, sympathetic, sentimental,
companionship, slow to anger, restrained in action, firm and
immutable as nature itself. Power that grows slowly but is formidable.
Friendly and determined. Conformistic nature, but in unique
ways. Positive: growth, healing, abundance. Negative: uncertain,
miserly, greed.
Emerald green:
Is a strong and rich hue. It is the most volatile expression
of this color. It raises adaptability to the status of adventure
with powerful vibrations of vigor. Lends the ability to make
the most of situations in forthright and indomitable ways that
will sway sentiment and sympathy.
Olive green:
Is weak, and lends to avoidance of issues, the seeking of excuses.
Evasive, unable to express or help in a given situation.
Apple green:
Is happier, hopeful, pleasing, striving for the sympathy that
characterizes green itself but is overly sentimental.
Sea green:
Carries envy, cunning, and defeats its own purpose.
Greenish-yellow:
Sickness, discord, cowardice, anger, jealousy.

stimulation. A color of high aspiration, pride, self-sufficiency.
Direct manner and approach brings impressive appearances of
strength. High-minded, restrained, social, popularity, overcoming
opposition, inventive abilities, contentment, confidence, ability
to recognize limitations, intelligence, and logic. Positive:
warmth, joy, creativity. Negative: pride, agitation, worry.

nature, tension, ambition, business progress, power. Royalty,
pomp and ceremony predominate. Swayed by success, high-achievers,

and intense to the point of exacting. Willingness to overlook
small things in favor of larger goals. Affectation.
Red
Passion, sexual love, strength, anger, health, vigor, bravery,
revenge, exhilaration. Turbulent energies in motion, and should
be used with caution for that reason. Red is the most forceful
of colors, containing a constantly active urge. It does not
necessarily denote a headstrong nature as it can be cool and
calculating as well as vigorous. It represents virility, challenge,
primitive urges, brute force, heroes and heroines, reflection
of one's nature magnified. Positive: sex, passion, strength.
Negative: anger, aggression, impulse.
Maroon red:
Is a deeper hue reflecting stamina and strength, purpose, restraint,
a fighting spirit in the face of adversity. If it leans to the
brownish tones it reflects mundane affairs and selfish actions.

in nature, eager for success or championing a cause. Action
and aggression on intellectual levels, higher achievements.
Ability to sway opinion. Affectionate disposition.
Scarlet red:
Is impassioned and attraction but often tied to spite. Sudden
bursts of temper, actions that lack purpose, restlessness, superficial
attitudes or views, selfish urges, vivacious too.
Pink red:
Reflects perfect love, platonic love, friendship and family
(passion of red and purity of white), honor, morality. Love
over mere affection, willingness to serve and help others, softened
natures, delicate and easily hurt but with quick recovery.

caution for details and manners. Understanding of others. Compassion.
Sincere, fair, can be overly critical. Positive: purity, sharing,
truth. Negative: scattered, overextended.
Grey
Cancellation, neutrality, stalemate. Uncertainty, fear to false
bravado to selfishness. Strict conformity with self-effacing
results, biding time before pressing interests at the expense
of others. With a silver tinge it becomes stronger, more constant,
gaining finer qualities. Positive: initiation, imagination.
Negative: imbalance, secretiveness.
Yellow
Warmth, happiness, well-being, healing, courage, attraction,
persuasion, confidence, strength, intellectuality, dispels evil,
scientific minds, artistry. Wisdom restrained by caution. Creativity,
retiring natures, wishful thinking, timidity toward risk-taking
if pale in hue.
Dull yellow
is selfish, introspective to a fault. Brownish hue brings a
muddy feeling to bear.

charm. Positive: communication, optimism, inspiration. Negative:
