Colours and Their Meanings

RED is the colour of fire and blood, signifies power and has a stimulating effect.

ORANGE is said to increase the craving for food. It also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity.

Like the energy of a bright sunny day, YELLOW brings clarity and awareness.

GREEN contains the powerful energies of nature, growth, desire to expand and increase.

Using BLUE to relax will encourage feelings of communication and peace.

Use PURPLE when you want to encourage fantasy, mystery and imagination.

BROWN creates a warm, comfortable feeling of wholesomeness, naturalness and dependability.

The energy of GREY imparts void, emptiness, lack of movement, emotion, warmth and identifying characteristics.
