In China, colors were used thousands of years ago to heal and today many people wear their astrological lucky color. Not everyone has the same color choices because colors are very personal. One prefers red, another blue and a third swears by green. Colors not only create the right atmosphere for our interior, but they also influence the human mind. They are indispensable, because each color provides a certain effect and feeling.
The power of colors
Colors have both positive and negative properties and they acquire a certain value depending on their location and use. Colors can be used to create the desired mood of a certain behavior. Just think of a commercial about coffee, which always contains warm, dark colors and thus influences our urge to purchase. Even in traffic, colors are used as signaling, which positively influence our behavior on the road.
Colors are also seasonal in clothing. People simply feel better dressed with light, fresh colors in the summer and dark, warm colors in the winter. In the magical world it is very important to decide which color to use in a particular ritual, because each color has a certain meaning and must be suitable for the type of ritual you want to perform.
