Color and interpretation of the aura
The color of every individual is doubtless somewhat different, and with the same individual it differs at various times according to his state of health, the mental and psychical changes, etc.
The majority of highly-developed clairvoyants agree, however, with C. W. Leadbeater, that the following colors may be distinguished, and that they signify the existing physical, mental and spiritual conditions, as follows :
Black: indicates hatred and malice, anger and hate thought forms are like heavy smoke.
Red: deep red flashes on black ground show anger, lurid red indicates sensuality.
Brown : dull brown-red shows avarice, dull, hard brown-grey selfishness
Greenish Brown: with red or scarlet flashes, denotes jealousy.
Grey: heavy leaden shows deep depression, livid grey shows fear.
Crimson : indicates love.
Orange : pride or ambition.
Yellow: shows intellectuality, duller tints show it is used for selfish purposes.
Green: deep blue green shows good qualities, deep sympathy, while grey-green shows deceit and cunning.
Blue: dark, indicates religious feeling, light blue shows devotion to a noble spiritual ideal.
White or near white: shows high spirituality.
Dull Brown and blue: show selfish religious feeling, dull yellow, low type intellect.
Apricot shows pride
Brick Red indicates selfish affection and avarice, light and bright red show pure affection.
Greyish green with reddish tinge, shows deceit.
The health aura is clearly visible to the clairvoyant as a mass of faintly luminous violet grey mist, interpenetrating the denser part of the physical body and extending very slightly beyond.
It is easy to understand how almost infinite may be the combinations and modifications of all these hues, so that the most delicate gradation of character, or the most evanescent of mingled feelings may be expressed with the greatest accuracy.
Many of the colors are unknown to our physical faculties, so that it is impossible to picture them with psychic hues.
When a clairvoyant sees these colours in the aura or surroundings of an individual he may feel that the characteristics indicated are present and the same thing is true when they are seen in the “surroundings” of a returning spirit.
