Widely used in defensive magic. The color of the element of Fire. Red is associated with blood (and thus, life and death), birth, volcanoes, and intense emotions. The Zuni of America linked this color with the South. Throughout Polynesia, red was sacred color associated with both the deities and with the highest social classes.    Fire, Force, MechanicalPINK: Love, friendship, compassion, relaxation. Pink is symbolic of gentle emotions and of emotional unions. It's less intense then red.    Charm, Sound, PersonORANGE: General attraction, energy. Orange is a lesser aspect of red.    Lava, Lightning, MetalYELLOW: Intellect, confidence, divination, communication, eloquence, travel, movement. Yellow is the color of the element of Air. It symbolizes the sun, grain, and the power of thought. To the Zuni, it symbolized the North. In polynesia, yellow was a color of royalty and divinity.    Air, Mist, SpaceGREEN: Money, prosperity, employment, fertility, healing, growth.

Purple was once a European symbol of royalty; today it symbolizes the divine.    Time, Space, VoidWHITE: Protection, purification, all purposes.

White symbolized the East to the Zuni.    Light, Good, AbjurationBLACK: Banishing negativity, absorbing negativity. Symbolizes outer space and the universe. Black is the absence of colors. In some cultures, black represented fertility (as in quite fruitful black earth); in others, wisdom. In our culture it has been curiously linked with evil, due to religious associations. It is not an evil color.    Shadow, Undead, HexBROWN: Animals. Used for spells involving animals, usually in combination with other colors. Brown represents soil and, to a lesser degree, fertility of the Earth.    Earth, Beast, Plant???    Acid, Ooze, Evil</blockquote>
