In many magical traditions, color magic is used because colors have certain associations. You may wish to keep a variety of colored paper, fabric, ribbons, or ink on hand to use in different magical workings. Also, bear in mind that some traditions may set their own correspondences that differ from this list. Typically, color correspondences are as follows:
- Red: Courage and health, sexual love and lust
- Pink: Friendship, sweet love
- Orange: Attraction and encouragement
- Gold: Financial gain, business endeavors, solar connections
- Yellow: Persuasion and protection
- Green: Financial gain, abundance, fertility
- Light Blue: Health, patience and understanding
- Dark Blue: Depression and vulnerability
- Purple: Ambition and power
- Brown: Earth-related or animal-related workings
- Black: Negativity and banishment
- White: Purity and truth*
- Silver: Reflection, intuition, lunar connections
* Note that in candle magic, many Pagan traditions hold that it is acceptable to use a white candle in place of any other color.
