Have you ever wondered why certain colours make you feel energised, calm, or uneasy? In the world of energy healing, colour is everything. Our aura — the energetic field that surrounds our body — communicates through colour, and learning to read those colours can offer profound insight into your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
As a Psychic Medium and Crystal Healer, I work with colour and crystal energy every day. I’ve seen how understanding your aura can be truly transformative. Here is my guide to aura colours, their meanings, and the crystals that support each one.
Red – Vitality and the Physical Body
Red pertains to circulation, the heart and the physical body. It is a dense, powerful colour that can attract or repel. In a positive light, red energy reflects a healthy ego, strong willpower and grounded survival instincts. In a negative light, it can give way to anger, anxiety, nervousness or an unforgiving nature.
Shades of Red: Deep Red – strong willed, grounded, realistic. Muddy Red – anger. Clear Red – powerful, sensual, passionate, energetic. Orange Red – confidence. Bright Pink – sensual, artistic, loving, compassionate, can indicate clairaudience. Dark Muddy Pink – dishonesty, immaturity.
Supporting Crystal: Garnet — a stone of vitality, passion and grounding that beautifully supports red aura energy.
Orange – Creativity and Emotional Health
Orange pertains to the reproductive organs and emotional feelings. It is the colour of good health, vitality and excitement. In a positive light, orange energy is productive, creative, sociable and courageous. In a negative light, it can give way to stress and addictive tendencies.

Pastels pertain to sensitivity and a need for serenity. They are seen as soft blends of light and colour, often indicating a gentle, empathic soul who is in a period of spiritual opening.
Brown – Blocked or Stagnant Energy
