===Based on Mother’s Experiences===
 
Often while I was rising up in this way, I used to see at my left an old man, silent and still, who looked at me with kindly affection and encouraged me by his presence. This old man, dressed in a long dark purple robe, was the personification—as I came to know later—of him who is called the Man of Sorrows. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/01/february-22-1914?search=purple</ref>
<center>~</center>
Mirra’s [Mother] experience is that the protection must take the form of a white light constantly kept round the circle. But even this is not enough as the forces will attack constantly and try to find a gap in the protection; there must therefore be round the white light a covering of dense purple light sufficiently opaque for these beings not to be able to see through it. It is not sufficient to have this light in the mental or psychic levels. It must be brought down into the vital and fill it, because it is in the vital that there is the attack. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/36/to-barindra-kumar-ghose?search=purple#p38</ref>
 
===From Savitri===
 
A glory is his dream of purple sky. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/34/the-debate-of-love-and-death?search=purple#p29</ref>
<center>~</center>
Oceans and rivers of the mirth of God
 
And griefless countries under purple suns. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/33/the-glory-and-fall-of-life?search=purple#p38</ref>
<center>~</center>
Day came, priest of a sacrifice of joy
 
Into the worshipping silence of her world;
 
He carried immortal lustre as his robe,
 
Trailed heaven like a purple scarf and wore
 
As his vermilion castemark a red sun. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/34/the-finding-of-the-soul?search=purple#p17</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.

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

==Orange==
[[File:OrgFlower-orange.pngjpg]]
===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>
<center>~</center>
Orange is the true light manifested in the physical consciousness and being. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p71</ref>
<center>~</center>
Orange is the colour of occult knowledge or occult experience. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p72</ref>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
The red colour was the sign of Power. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-associated-with-the-psychic#p22</ref>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
The deep red is the light of the Power...for the transformation of the physical. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p95</ref>
<center>~</center>
Deep red is the Divine Love—rosy is the psychic love. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p94</ref>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
...the golden red is the touch of the Truth in the physical. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p24</ref>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
The red lotus is the flower of the Divine Presence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-plant-world#p27</ref>
<center>~</center>
Red lotus—symbol of the manifestation of the Supreme upon earth. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/sri-aurobindo-and-the-mother#p1</ref>
<center>~</center>
''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>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
...the red fire is the fire of renunciation and tapasya. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/sun-moon-star-fire#p40</ref>
<center>~</center>
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>
<center>~</center>
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>
