~~Diamond blue~~ There are no separate colours of the beings. There is ~~Krishna's light~~ a characteristic colour of mind, yellow, of the psychic, pink or pale rose, of the vital, purple; but these are colours corresponding to the forces of mind, psychic, vital—they are not the colours of the beings.

"LAVENDER. The vital, especially the higher vital or emotional vital. MAUVE. The vital. Mauve is a colour of the vital, light mauve tending to indicate the higher vital or emotional vital, deep mauve the vital proper. VIOLET. The vital; vital power; protection; Divine Compassion; Divine Grace. Violet" is a colour of the vital plane, dark violet indicating vital power. Violet is also the colour of protection and of benevolence or compassion, but ~~also~~ more vividly of the Divine ~~Grace—represented in the vision as flowing from~~ Grace; it is the ~~heights~~ light of the ~~spiritual consciousness down on the earth~~Divine Grace and Compassion.

Violet is indeed the colour or light of Divine Compassion, so also of Krishna's grace. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p49</ref>

The crimson colour is the light of Love in the vital and physical. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p75</ref>

===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>

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>

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>

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>

==Orange==

[[File:Flower-orange.jpg]]

===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>
