Aura Colors: What Each One Means and a Quick Test
Aura colours are a vocabulary, not a scan. Each of the twelve below carries a set of meanings that readers have attached to it over the last century, and the list works best read in reverse: instead of asking which colour you emit, find the description that matches your week and see what it tells you about the week. Nothing here measures a field, and the colours move with sleep, company and workload, so a tone that fits today may not fit in a month.

RedOrangeYellowGreenBlueIndigoVioletPinkGoldWhiteBrownBlackTwelveRedReaders give red to the body and its appetite: drive, heat, hunger, the will to push. It is the colour they name when someone is alive in a physical, unsubtle way.
OrangeOrange is read as sociability and play: the pleasure of people, food, making things with your hands, laughing in the middle of work.
YellowYellow is the colour readers give to a head that is working: curiosity, plans, jokes, the bright nervous energy of thinking fast.
GreenGreen is read as care and growth: tending people, plants and projects, and the steadiness of someone who heals by being useful.
BlueBlue is the colour readers give to calm speech and honesty: saying the true thing quietly, and needing quiet in order to do it.
IndigoIndigo is read as inward perception: noticing the mood under the sentence, and needing time alone to process what you noticed.
VioletViolet is given to imagination and meaning: dreams you remember, questions that are too large for the day, art that changes the week.
PinkPink is read as tenderness: wanting closeness, giving it easily, and being easy to touch in both senses of the word.
GoldGold is the colour readers give to someone in their element: warm authority, generosity, the person a room quietly organises itself around.
WhiteWhite is read as a cleared space: a blank page, a fresh start, or the simple wish for everything to be empty and quiet for a while.
BrownBrown is read as groundedness: roots, practicality, the body asking for earth, sleep and simple tasks. It is a tired colour, not a bad one.
BlackBlack is read as a closed door: protection, holding things in, keeping your last reserves for yourself. It is a boundary, not a curse.
Twelve colours, and not one of them is the bad one.
