The story behind the colors
My Color Meaning began with a personal experience: seeing aura colors around people, and wanting to explore what those colors could mean.
This is a space to bring that curiosity. Whether someone has described your aura, you’ve noticed a color yourself, or you’re just exploring, you’re welcome here.
Stay curious. There’s a whole spectrum to discover.
Find a meaning that resonatesA little clarity
New to auras? Start here.
In spiritual traditions, an aura is described as a field of energy surrounding a person. Its colors are interpreted as symbols of emotions, personal qualities, or a stage of life. This guide explores those symbolic meanings as a way to reflect on yourself and others.
You can start with a color you’ve noticed or one an aura reader has described. To try an observation exercise yourself, follow our beginner tutorial on how to see aura colors. If you’re simply curious, choose a color that draws your attention and read its meaning. Feeling drawn to a color can prompt reflection, but a website or color preference cannot verify an aura.
Many aura readers describe layers or combinations of colors. You can explore each color separately, then consider how their themes fit together. Blue and green, for example, bring together ideas of communication and compassion. There’s no need to fit yourself into a single description.
Within aura-reading traditions, colors are often understood to shift with feelings, experiences, and periods of change. You might find that different descriptions resonate at different times. Use them as an invitation to check in with yourself.
Darker colors are often interpreted through themes such as grounding, boundaries, rest, or transition. They do not make someone a bad person or predict something harmful. Explore our black, brown, and gray aura guides with the same openness as the brighter colors.
Treat the descriptions as spiritual and symbolic interpretations, with room for your own experience. Meanings vary between readers and traditions. Take what feels useful as a reflection prompt, and let your own understanding of a person come first.
