The Secret Colour Codes That'll Make You Unstoppable
The colour therapy fix you didn't know you need
Colour is more than aesthetics. It’s medicine for the soul.
Whether you’re feeling flat, frazzled, or fabulous, the colours you surround yourself with can either lift you up or drag you down.
You’re a light-sensitive being. You literally absorb wavelengths of energy through your skin and our eyes. Which is why some colours light you up like a disco ball… and others make you feel like you’ve been smacked round the face with a wet kipper.
But when you know how to match the symptoms to a colour you can give your energy a reboot and fine-tune your frequency, keeping you on track to your Ideal Reality.
Let’s start with the basics…
What is colour?
Colour = visible energy. It’s that simple.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the name given to the full range of electromagnetic radiation, of which visible light (aka colour) is just a teeny tiny band—0.0035% to be precise.
It sits smack bang in the middle between infrared and ultraviolet light.
Each colour has its own unique frequency and wavelength. Slower waves = warm colours like red. Faster waves = cool tones like violet.
The science isn’t important, all you need to know is this: colour affects you because your body feels it, even if you can’t see it.
Magnetic vs electric colours
In colour therapy the traditional seven colour spectrum is divided into two halves, magnetic and electric, with green being neutral in the centre.
🧲 Magnetic = red, orange and yellow.
These are your grounding, get-shit-done colours. They pull your energy downward into the body, connecting you to the Earth, your physical self, and your primal instincts.
These colour are all about doing—think drive, determination and discipline.
They correspond to the lower three chakras: the root, the sacral and the solar plexus.
⚡️ Electric = blue, indigo and violet.
These are your elevating, soul-expanding shades. They pull energy upward towards the spiritual realm, awakening your intuition, inner wisdom, and connection to something greater.
These colours are all about being—think insight, intuition and illumination.
They correspond to the higher three chakras: the throat, third eye and crown.
Green is nature’s neutral, sitting right in the middle. It is the heart chakra and acts as the bridge between body and spirit.
So let’s take a look at what these colours can actually do for you.
Magnetic Colours
❤️ Red – Stayin’ Alive
Red’s all about passion, physical strength, and that “let’s DO this” energy. It’s your survival instinct, safety and courage. Need to get moving? Red’s your go-to.

Yellow will give you mental clarity, optimism, boost to your confidence. It revs up your solar plexus chakra and helps you stand tall in your personal power.

Electric Colours
💙 Blue – Talking to the moon
Blue helps you find your voice and your calm. It’s the throat chakra’s colour and is ideal for anyone who’s anxious, overthinking, or bottling things up.

Why Green Is A Neutral
Green doesn’t pick sides. It sits perfectly between the magnetic and electric energies and acts as a calming, centring force.
Connected to the heart chakra, green is all about love, balance, and healing. It brings emotional equilibrium, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being.
Not enough: unable to adapt, low self esteem, heart problems
Too much: jealous, miserly, lazy
Bring it back with: hot red
The importance of balance
No colour is inherently “good” or “bad.” But too much of one and not enough of another? That’s when things go wonky.
The solution is to use complementary colours to balance your energy field. These opposites on the colour wheel help neutralise energetic overloads.
🔴 Red / 🟢 Green
🟠 Orange / 🔵 Blue
🟡Yellow / 🟣 Purple
Balance your colours like you’d balance your diet—listen to your body, notice what colours you’re drawn to, and trust that they’re trying to tell you something.
Fade to black…
Energetic alignment is crucial to calling in your Ideal Reality, and now you now the difference between magnetic and electric colours, and what to look out for, you can begin to notice where you’re ‘off colour’ and calibrate your vibe easily.
Then you’ll be able to attract on autopilot!
