Without color, what would life be like? There would be no differential in what we saw, or if we could see at all. Color is created by the different frequencies and wavelengths of light, which is then perceived by our eyes and transmitted to our brain. By adding color correspondences to our practices, we can utilize these frequencies and wavelengths to not only influence our workings, but everyday life as well. In fact, it has been shown that certain colors can affect our emotions and thoughts. Standing in a blue room for example will calm the mind and body, while yellow will make our minds anxious. If we can successfully utilize these colors, then we can use them to our advantage. Below are a few correspondences that can apply when using anything with color.
