Beginners' Guide To Manifesting With Colour
Mixing the hue with the woo!
If you’re new here you might be wondering what all this ‘manifesting with colour’ malarkey is all about so this week I’m doing a little reintroduction to the whole concept.
I discovered the real power of colour a few years ago.
I say ‘real’ power because even though I had an understanding of colour theory through my work as an artist and designer, it wasn’t until I started applying colour consciously and strategically in my own life that I got just how transformative it can be.
So today I’m gonna go right back to basics.
What is manifestation?
At its core, manifestation is turning your dreams into reality through intention. You align your thoughts, emotions, and actions (your T.E.A.) toward something you want, and then you let that energy ripple out into the world. Vibrations, energy, mindset — all of it matters.
Why colour is such an effective tool
Colour is visible energy. Each hue vibrates at a different frequency. When you surround yourself with certain shades — in clothes, décor, nature — you’re absorbing their energy. It can shift your mood, sharpen your focus, ease your anxiety.
Colour therapy (aka chromotherapy) has been doing this for literally ages: the ancient Egyptians used it, in India colour is associated with balancing the energy centres (or chakras), Chinese medicine assigns colour to different organs.
But most importantly, colour speaks to your subconscious mind. It can unlock things you never even knew were there. And shifting these subconscious beliefs is the foundation of manifestation.
So if you’re trying to call something into your life — your dream job, more peace, better health — colour can help you feel aligned—mentally, emotionally and physically.
And feeling aligned makes you magnetic for what you want.
The best colours for manifestation
The visible spectrum is made up of what are known as the seven ‘absolute’ colours. Below is a list of what they help you bring in.
Pick what feels right for your goal:
Red
Safety, stability, action-taking.
Great for manifesting a dream home but it also works for fitness goals thanks to its energising and stimulating properties.
Orange
Creativity, sensuality, adventure, joy, spontaneity.
Orange is the colour of fun and pleasure so use it to manifest holidays, travel, new friends—even a baby.
Yellow
Mental clarity, learning, focus.
Wanna boost your brainpower? This is your colour. It’s great to work with when studying or taking exams. Yellow will also fill you with confidence as it relates to the solar plexus chakra, the seat of our personal power.
Green
Abundance, harmony, healing, matters of the heart.
Think love, peace, nature. Green is the ultimate allrounder, bringing balance to everything. It’s also the colour so money so use it to increase your bank account.
Blue
Truth, communication, business.
Blue is ideal for career goals so if you’re going to interview for your dream job, wear something blue! It will also help to open your throat chakra so use it when you need to speak up or express yourself.
Indigo
Physical and mental health, rest, relaxation, intuition.
Use indigo when you’re focussing on health goals. And if you have trouble sleeping indigo is your new BFF.
Violet
Inspiration, spiritual purpose, higher self.
The most spiritual of all the colours and the highest vibration, use when you’re seeking meaning, purpose, insight. It’s also good for connecting to divine intelligence and can open your channel to receive ideas and spiritual downloads.
How to use these colours daily
You don’t have to go overboard. This isn’t about going colour crazy—it’s about being colour conscious. Pick one colour that matches your current goal. Then:
During meditation, visualise that colour. Feel it spread through your body.
Use physical reminders: crystals, artwork, clothes, accessories.
Surround yourself — your workspace, room, phone wallpaper — with it.
The more you feel aligned with that colour, the more it amplifies your intention.
Fade to black…
Colour isn’t magic by itself — but used with intention and consistency, it absolutely heightens manifestation. When you match what you feel with what you want, you move from “meh” to “magical.”
