=Significance of some the colours=
I never heard of two lotuses in the heart centre; but it is the seat of two powers, in front the higher vital or emotional being, behind and concealed the soul or psychic being.
The colours of the lotuses and the numbers of petals are respectively, from bottom to top:—(1) the Muladhara or physical consciousness centre, four petals, red; (2) the abdominal centre, six petals, deeper purple red; (3) the navel centre, ten petals, violet; (4) the heart centre, twelve petals, golden pink; (5) the throat centre, sixteen petals, grey; (6) the forehead centre between the eyebrows, two petals, white; (7) the thousand-petalled lotus above the head, blue with gold light around. The functions are, according to our Yoga,—(1) commanding the physical consciousness and the subconscient; (2) commanding the small vital movements, the little greeds, lusts, desires, the small sense-movements; (3) commanding the larger life-forces and the passions and larger desire-movements; (4) commanding the higher emotional being with the psychic deep behind it; (5) commanding expression and all externalisation of the mind movements and mental forces; (6) commanding thought, will, vision; (7) commanding the higher thinking mind and the illumined mind and opening upwards to the intuition and overmind.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-system-of-the-chakras</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?''
The pale blue light is Sri Aurobindo’s light—the white light is the Mother's. The world you saw above the head was the plane of the illumined Mind which is a level of consciousness much higher than the human intelligence. It is there that the Divine Light and Power come down to be transmitted to the human consciousness and from there they work and prepare the transformation of the human consciousness and even the physical nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p23</ref>

The red lotus is the flower of Sri Aurobindo, but specially for his centenary we shallchoose 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>

===VioletRelated Colours===
<center>~</center>
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>
<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>
