==Yellow==

===Significance of Yellow===

The Blue Light coming below the level of the Muladhara means that it has entered into the physical (physical mental, physical vital, material) consciousness. The two main obstacles here are the mechanical mind with its memories and desires of the past and the most outward sex movements; these have to be overcome (especially the mechanical mind, for the other may be easily overcome if not supported by the vital proper) for the Light to possess all the physical consciousness. It is probably why it rose so strongly when the Light came to these parts. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/descent-and-the-lower-nature#p32</ref>

...Blue the higher consciousness in the vital. So it must be peace casting its influence from above on the vital.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-animal-world#p105</ref>

The thousand-petalled lotus above the head, blue with gold light around. Commanding the higher thinking mind and the illumined mind and opening upwards to the intuition and overmind. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-system-of-the-chakras#p21</ref>

The plane with the blue light is the Higher Mind which is just above the ordinary human intelligence, the first of several planes of higher consciousness through which one has to pass in order to reach the Divine Truth . Something from your mind (thinking willing mind) is trying to rise up into the blue light of the Higher Mind so as to join and become one with it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p39</ref>

You probably went up into the illumined Mind which has a pale blue light and were receiving there lights from the higher planes and occasionally seeing the flash of the full orb of the Divine Truth.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-on-the-higher-planes#p23</ref>

The rosy light is that of love—so probably you entered the psychic worlds… <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p66</ref>

The colour of the psychic light is according to what it manifests—e.g., psychic love is pink or rose, the psychic purity is white etc. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p67</ref>

...the light of pink colour might be that of some influence or godhead of love or bhakti in contact with the mental being. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/kinds-of-vision#p38</ref>

'''Significance - Individual Power'''

Green is the higher light in the vital, especially the emotional vital. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p81</ref>

A green leaf means vital strength or energy or vitality. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-plant-world#p8</ref>

The green light is a vital force, a dynamic force of the emotional vital which has the power to purify, harmonise or cure. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p82</ref>

Green is a vital energy of work and action. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p83</ref>

Greenish yellow is mental.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/colours#p2</ref>

Green denotes a vast peaceful feeling with a direct contact and a very harmonious relationship with Nature. It could represent a continent with vast open spaces and an unspoiled population living close to the soil and Nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/the-olympic-rings#p5</ref>

Green light can signify various things according to the context—in the emotional vital it is the colour of a certain form of emotional generosity, in the vital proper an activity with vital abundance or vital generosity behind it—in the vital physical it signifies a force of health. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p84</ref>

When you are very tired and in need of rest and if you know how to exteriorise yourself, if you go out of your body and enter consciously into the vital world, there are regions there, in the vital world, which are like a marvellous virgin forest, with all the splendour of a rich and harmonious vegetation, and beautiful, mirror-like pools. And the atmosphere is filled with the living vitality of plants, with every shade of green reflected in the water... And there you feel so much life, so much beauty, so much richness and plenitude that you wake up full of energy. And all this is so objective! I have been able to take people there, without telling them anything at all about how it would be, and they were able to describe the place exactly as I can myself, and they had exactly the same experience. They were absolutely exhausted before going to sleep and they woke up with an absolutely marvellous feeling of plenitude, of force and energy. They had stayed there only a few minutes. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/1-february-1951#p30</ref>

Mother, keep us always green, so that we may advance without stop on the road Thou hast with such labour prepared for us. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/replies-to-prayers-of-the-physical-education-groups#p3</ref>

'''Significance - Power in the Higher Vital'''

Power that wants to be at the service of the Divine.

Gold is always the symbol of the higher Truth. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p58</ref>

Gold is the colour of the Truth that comes from above.

<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/dreams#p45</ref>

Gold: wealth of the world and supramental knowledge.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/christmas-messages#p50</ref>

Gold the hue of the supramental knowledge or of knowledge from the intermediate planes. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/light#p24</ref>

Gold indicates at its most intense something from the supramental, otherwise overmind truth or intuitive truth deriving ultimately from the supramental Truth consciousness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p63</ref>

Gold should not be used except in the service of the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p63</ref>

One can put it in this way (but this is very imprecise, more than diminished—deformed): it is as if our entire spiritual life were made of silver whereas the supramental is made of gold, as if the whole spiritual life here below were a vibration of silver, not lustreless, but merely a light, a light that goes up tothe summit, a light quite pure, pure and intense; but in the other life, the supramental life, there is a richness and a power that makes all the difference. This whole spiritual life of our psychic being and our present consciousness, which appears so warm, so full, so wonderful, so sparkling to the ordinary consciousness, well, all this splendour appears poor in relation to the splendour of the new world.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/15-november-1958#p11</ref>

They [gold stars in the sky] are simply indications of divine Truth in the mind—the sky is a symbol of mind very often. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/sun-moon-star-fire#p36</ref>

In the Mother's flag blue is the blue of the spirit and the gold is the colour of the Supreme Mother. The red of the cover surrounding the flag signifies the illumined physical consciousness.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/our-flag-and-our-cover#p2</ref>

The combined presence of Krishna and Durga Mahakali... <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p4</ref>

The thousand-petalled lotus above the head, blue with gold light around commanding the higher thinking mind and the illumined mind and opening upwards to the intuition and overmind.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-system-of-the-chakras#p21</ref>

The uniting of the Ishwara Shakti sides of the manifestation—as in the Hara-Gauri figure—with the result of a universalisation of the individual consciousness indicated by the shooting out towards infinite distances. The currents are of course the currents of the double force working to make this liberation. The blue and gold must be the blue of Krishna and the gold of the Mother (Durga-Mahakali). <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-on-the-higher-planes#p41</ref>

...is rather the light of the Truth in the physical. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p68</ref>

Red and gold mean truth and power joined together.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-human-world#p33</ref>

Orange or red gold is supposed by the way to be the light of the supramental in the physical.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p69</ref>

All was gold and gold and gold, a torrent of golden light pouring down in an uninterrupted flow and bringing with it the consciousness that the path of the gods is a sunlit path in which difficulties lose all reality.. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-path#p29</ref>

And perhaps it would be enough if some individuals became pure gold, for this would be enough to change the course of events.... We are faced with this necessity in a very urgent way.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/27-march-1957#p14</ref>

This evening the Divine Presence, concrete and material, was there present amongst you. I had a form of living gold, bigger than the universe, and I was facing a huge and massive golden door which separated the world from the Divine.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/messages-for-the-supramental-manifestation-upon-earth#p6</ref>

There was in fact this entire impression of power, of warmth and of gold. It was not fluid, but like a powdery mist. And each one of these things (they cannot be called particles or fragments or even points, unless point is taken in the mathematical sense, a point that does not occupy any place in space) was like living gold, a powdery mist of warm gold—one cannot call it bright, nor can one call it dark; neither was it light: a multitude of small points of gold, nothing but that. One could say that they touched my eyes, my face... and with a tremendous force! At the same time, there was the feeling of a plenitude, of an all-powerful peace—it was rich, it was full. It was movement at its maximum, infinitely more swift than anything that one can imagine, and at the same time it was absolute peace, perfect stillness. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/8-november-1958#p19</ref>

...the white light is the light of the Mother (the Divine Consciousness) in which all others are contained and from which they can be manifested.

<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p8</ref>

...white the purity and power of the divine Truth.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p11</ref>

...white may very well be the symbolic hue of Sachchidananda. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/35/indian-systems-and-the-cabbala#p3</ref>

The forces that come with white light are usually those of purity and peace.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p16</ref>

The white light is that of the Pure Conscious Force from which all the rest come. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p22</ref>

The colour of the psychic light is according to what it manifests—e.g., psychic love is pink or rose, the psychic purity is white etc. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p79</ref>

Psychic love can have a warmth and a flame as intense and more intense than the vital, only it is a pure fire, not dependent on the satisfaction of ego-desire or on the eating up of the fuel it embraces. It is a white flame, not a red one; but white heat is not inferior to the red variety in its ardour. It is true that the psychic love does not usually get its full play in human relations and human nature, it finds the fullness of its fire and ecstasy more easily when it is lifted towards the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/human-relations-and-the-spiritual-life#p92</ref>

In its essence, in its origin, love is like a flame, a white flame which overcomes all resistances.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/10/aphorism-49#p12</ref>

But my whole life I've had that sort of white light—not transparent white, white like... like WHITENESS, you understand. That light, which is extremely intense.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/11/february-18-1970#p21</ref>

...the Mother's light is of a white and at its most intense of a diamond radiance. The light is a sign of the Mother's presence in your heart and that is what you saw once and felt for a moment.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/objects#p10</ref>

The white light is the Mother's light and it is always around her. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/the-mothers-white-light#p14</ref>

By calling the Mother her white light comes upon the dark consciousness and begins to change the darkness into lustre. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/calling-the-mother-in-difficulty#p8</ref>

Before you go to sleep, when you lie down, you must summon the white Light, my white light, and then I will be listening. Wrapped like that: a cocoon, a nice little cocoon, all white. That way you can sleep peacefully. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/06/july-10-1965#p61</ref>

The Mother's special colour is white, but all the other colours are hers also. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/the-mothers-white-light#p11</ref>

Fire can manifest all the colours and the pure white fire is that which contains in itself all the colours. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/kinds-of-vision#p57</ref>

Saraswati is white. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/gods-goddesses-and-semi-divine-beings#p10</ref>

If we compare the essential truth to a sphere of immaculate, dazzling white light, we can say that in the mental medium, in the mental atmosphere, this integral white light is transformed into thousands and thousands of shades, each of which has its own distinct colour, because they are all separated from one another. The medium distorts the white light and makes it appear as innumerable different colours: red, green, yellow, blue, etc., which are sometimes very discordant. And the mind seizes, not a little fragment of the white light of the white sphere, but a larger or smaller number of little lights of various colours, with which it cannot even reconstitute the white light. Therefore it cannot reach the truth. It does not possess fragments of truth, but a truth that is broken up. It is a state of decomposition. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/10/aphorism-1#p11</ref>

...we then have all the golds of the Supermind, with its three layers. And then, after that, there is one layer of golden white—it is white, but a golden white. After this golden white, there is silver white—silver white: how can I explain that? (H. has sent me some ridiculous pictures of a sun shining on water—it has nothing to do with that''.) If you put silver, silver gray (''Mother shows a silver box nearby shining brilliantly in the sun), silver gray together with white... that is, it is white, but if you put the four whites together you see the difference. There is a white white, then there is a white with a touch of pink, then a silvery white and a golden white. It makes four worlds.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/04/may-18-1963#p1</ref>

Her mind, a sea of white sincerity, <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/33/the-issue#p140</ref>

Against the white purity of heaven's cleansing flame. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/33/the-house-of-the-spirit-and-the-new-creation#p43</ref>

A Bliss, a Light, a Power, a flame-white Love <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/33/the-house-of-the-spirit-and-the-new-creation#p209</ref>

==Orange==

===Significance of Orange===

Orange or red gold is supposed by the way to be the light of the supramental in the physical.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p69</ref>

Orange is the true light manifested in the physical consciousness and being. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p71</ref>

Orange is the colour of occult knowledge or occult experience. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p72</ref>

Orange yellow is the symbol of light.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/colours#p3</ref>

Red is the colour of the physical,—touched by the higher Light it becomes golden red. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p91</ref>

Red is the colour of the physical and material world. The red ring could therefore be allotted to a people that has achieved a great mastery over the physical world. This colour would also indicate that material success has given it predominance over the others. In any case, it represents a people that stresses physical and material things.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/the-olympic-rings#p6</ref>

The red Purusha may be the power of the true physical—red being the colour of the physical. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p92</ref>

The red colour was the sign of Power. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-associated-with-the-psychic#p22</ref>

It depends on the nature of the red. Red (when it does not mean the light of the physical consciousness) indicates always some kind of Force or Power, but what power it is depends on the shade. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p93</ref>

The deep red is the light of the Power...for the transformation of the physical. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p95</ref>

Deep red is the Divine Love—rosy is the psychic love. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p94</ref>

Orange or red gold is supposed by the way to be the light of the supramental in the physical.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p69</ref>

...the golden red is the touch of the Truth in the physical. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p24</ref>

For example, if you have a control over this [money]force—it is a force which, in the vital world, has a colour varying between red, a dark, extremely strong red and a deep gold that's neither bright nor very pale. Well, this force—when it is made to move, to circulate, its strength increases.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/28-july-1954#p5</ref>

The red lotus is the flower of Sri Aurobindo, but specially for his centenary we shall choose the blue lotus, which is the colour of his physical aura, to symbolise the centenary of the manifestation of the Supreme upon earth. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/centenary#p27</ref>

A lotus usually indicates an opening into the spiritual. The white and red are symbols of the Mother and the incarnating Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-plant-world#p25</ref>

The red lotus is the flower of the Divine Presence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-plant-world#p27</ref>

Red lotus—symbol of the manifestation of the Supreme upon earth. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/sri-aurobindo-and-the-mother#p1</ref>

''Q. In the picture which I received today from Thee, I see someone offering with two hands a full-bloomed red lotus, a lotus bud and a garland. The background of the picture is yellow in colour. What do all these signify?''

Red flowers would ordinarily indicate an opening of the consciousness either in the physical or some part of the vital according to the shade. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-plant-world#p17</ref>

The red rose is the flower of love and surrender, the white is the purity of psychic love.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-plant-world#p32</ref>

The java [red hibiscus] is the flower of the Divine Power.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-plant-world#p35</ref>

The red sun is a symbol of the true, illumined physical consciousness which is to replace the obscure and ignorant physical consciousness in which men now live. Red is the colour of the physical; the red diamond is the Mother's consciousness in the physical.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/sun-moon-star-fire#p14</ref>

Sunlight is the direct light of the Truth; when it gets fused into the vital, it takes the mixed colour—here gold and green—just as in the physical it becomes golden red or in the mental golden yellow. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p64</ref>

...the red fire is the fire of renunciation and tapasya. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/sun-moon-star-fire#p40</ref>

The fire is always the fire of purification—it is very red when it is acting on the vital; when the vital no longer covers the psychic, then the rose colour of the psychic comes out more and more. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/sun-moon-star-fire#p41</ref>

And there's a red in them... Oh, the most beautiful reds that Nature has been able to produce in flowers or sunsets—this is still more beautiful. But how he has done it I don't know. There is brown, there is green, there is yellow, there are all kinds of things. Some are more pretty, some less pretty, there are mixtures more or less happy; some photographs seem to have been taken with the help of a microscope: infinitely small things which, becoming large, look extraordinary; things like that. And we can see very clearly that there are superimpositions, but there are exceptional colour effects. There we are.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/9-february-1955#p44</ref>
