Colours in different religions today

Re: Colours in different religions today

I go the other way on that. White is the whole light spectrum, black is the absence of light. I don't consider any colours as symbolic of good or evil though. Black is void, just nothingness. White is the whole, complete. Then you have obvious ones like red symbolizing anger or violence, which again, is neither good nor evil unless it's attributed to a specific act.

Black is also the color of objects that take in all wave lengths of light while white is the color of ones that reflect them.

A useful thing, it is. I start to like dark colours, and use them for different things.
It's very useful if you don't want to be seen :cthulhu:

Not sure if any color is particularly bad or good. They just are to me. Red can stand for anger, hate and violence but also love, sex and passion.

True. I think it depends on the culture one is referring to.

Random musings from my own practice :

White: The underworld, mourning, sorrow, old age, removing impurities.

Red & White together: Healing.

Black: Wisdom, mystery, hidden things, Nav, protection.
