Color magick is one of my favorite types of magick
It can be used for so many things, including spellwork
I don’t think there is a specific brand of witch that uses it
I think everyone uses it for their own purposes
Not that it matters
I am eclectic so I use parts of many types of witchcraft to create my own style
It is nice to understand what makes colors magickal though
By understanding this, you can understand more about many parts of witchcraft since colors are such a huge part of our life
What are colors?
Color is how light reflects off surfaces and how our brain understands that light
If you have ever seen that image of white light breaking into the colors of the rainbow, that is how color works
Wavelengths of light hit an option, bounce off, and then we see that wavelength
Then our brain translates it into the color
That is why color is so hard to see when it is hard and much clearer when there is good lighting
If there is no light to reflect, we don’t see the wavelengths bouncing off the object
In addition, everything in existence has energy
That includes light and color
Energies are attracted to similar energies
What gives color meaning?
The meaning of color is actually what their specific energy attracts
Have you ever been around someone that is naturally so happy that they make it really hard NOT to be happy too?
Their energy attracts similar energy
Energies on the same wavelength want to be together
So color gets its meaning by understanding what energies are on the same wavelength as that color
Different energies also attract different amounts of energy
Were you ever told not to wear black on a hot day?
That is because dark colors can hold a lot more energy (heat) than light colors can
Choosing the color that keeps you cool or warm is part of color magick
Why is knowing color meaning important for witchcraft?
If witchcraft, we have so many options
A lot of spell jars are sealed with wax
Flowers and herbs have color
Bowels and jars have color
Pens and pencils can even add color!
If you are using these things anyways, why not add another layer of magick?
It only makes sense to do as much as you can for your spells
Instead of just using wax, use a green candle to seal your spell jar if you want prosperity
Or a green candle in your money bowl
You can use pink for a self-love spell jar
Choose colors you want to wear to attract things throughout your day or to protect you while you sleep
The possibilities are endless
Color magick is also great for closet or busy witches because you can do with with your clothes and makeup alone
The main colors and their meanings
There are countless shades of color and they have their own meanings
But it is important not to get overwhelmed when learning something new
So start with the basics and the main colors
Learn their meaning
Learn to use them
And move on if you decide to
Red
Red is one of my favorite colors
I love a nice deep red
Red is used to attract:
- Passion
- Stamina
- Confidence
- Will power
- Creative energy
- Courage
I like to add red lipstick when I need a confidence boost or if I feel stuck while working on a project
Blue
Blue is another favorite color of mine
I love how calm and it makes me feel
It reminds me of the beach
Blue is used to attract:
- Communication
- Forgiveness
- Focus
- Good fortune
- Peace
- Wisdom
- Remembering dreams
If you want to remember dreams, wearing blue pajamas may be a good way to make that happen
Blue eye shadow or blue jewelry can help you focus if you are struggling with getting a task done
Green
Green is one of the most common colors that I see used in witch Facebook groups
Everyone wants more money and prosperity
It also helps me remember that the world we live in is full of prosperity
There is green everywhere in nature
Green is used to attract:
- Growth
- Money
- Success
- Earth energy
- Prosperity
- Attraction
- Health
- Expansion
There is a lot of green magick in money bowls between the bowl, candle, and herbs
White
White is one of the most spiritual colors because it is a combination of all the colors
I see it as the symbol of full balance in life
White is also associated with purity, innocence, and new beginnings
White is used to attract:
- New beginnings
- Peace
- Calmness
- Wisdom
- Truth
- Balance
- Harmony
- Spiritual protection
- Healing
- Hope
- Open-mindedness
Yellow
Yellow isn’t one of my favorite colors visually, but it has amazing energy potential
I often think of the sun when I think of yellow
Yellow can be used to attract:
- Intelligence
- Focus
- Learning
- Breaking mental blocks
- Wisdom
- Confidence
- Clarity
- New ideas
- Logic
As you can see, it is great for learning and getting things done
Next time you are stuck on a project or need new ideas, try adding some yellow to your makeup or clothes
Orange
Orange is similar to yellow, but the energies are quite different
It is used for more social things instead of mental things
Orange can be used to attract:
- Intellect
- Networking
- Legal affairs
- Joy
- Stimulating energy
- Attraction
- Justice
- Celebration
Try adding some orange next time you are doing anything social and want a boost!

Another one of my favorites
I wear a lot of purple when I feel a little lost
Purple can be used to attract:
- Heightened intuition
- Meditation
- Wisdom

- Deepening spiritual wisdom
- Knowledge
I like to wear purple while working with my tarot cards or when I want more spiritual guidance that day
I have a veil that is blue and purple that I wear when I feel the need for extra help
Brown
Brown isn’t one of the most attractive colors
It isn’t flashy, but that may be a good thing
I like it for around my home
It makes my home feel more grounded
Brown can be used to attract:
- Energy
- Nurture
- Comfort
- Relaxation
- Wealth
- Blessings
- Growth
Think of it like the soil
Without soil, nothing will grow
Black
Black is my favorite for protection spells because it is perfect for repelling or absorbing energy
This is the color you are told to avoid when it is hot because it absorbs so much energy
When you have black on, it absorbs the negative energy that you want to be protected from
Black can be used for:
- Protection
- repelling/absorbing/banishing energy
- putting an end to an unhealthy situation
I am wearing a protection spell right now that was topped with black wax
I love the way it makes me feel!
Pink
Pink is a cute color that is very connected to love
I thought it would be red, but love is actually connected to pink
Pink can be used to attract:
- Unconditional love
- Romance
- Friendship
- Self-love
- Happiness
- Forgiveness
- Reconciliation
- Intimacy
I avoid love spells because I don’t mess with free will
But I love using pink for my self love spells
