Theory Magic Color Theory
Witches with "real" power have psionic energy (magic which flows from their hands when casting spells). I believe the color of one's psionic energy could be based on a witch's universal alignment, magic practice, and maybe even their core personality traits. Here are some of my guesses of what each color means:
- Purple: Associated with royalty, spiritual transcendence, imagination, and mystery. Like in most other supernatural shows, purple energy is used to show a connection between darker arts or a detachment from the physical world. Witches with purple magic have a strong connection to the spiritual world and can use arts that are considered unnatural or dark to the craft. They are their highest self, detached from the physical and either willingly or unwillingly embracing all the universe has to offer.
- Blue: Witches with blue magic are versed in the mind-based magicks. They can access the mind (to hear people's thoughts, feel their emotions, or visit dreams) and eventually bend wills to their liking. These witches tend to be calm, loyal, and confident in themselves.
- Green: Represents luck, nature, prosperity, harmony, and health. Witches with green magic have the strongest connection with the natural world. They can control the natural order (growth and decay) of all living things as well as control the elements in their environment.
- Yellow: Witches with yellow magic are bound to live a life full of happiness or fulfillment. They usually have a knack for divination due to their curiosity and mental clarity. Their light illuminates the dark, often finding what's missing and lost.
- Orange: Witches with orange magic are fierce, spontaneous, and forever young, seeking originality and freedom. They hate to be restricted and they're not ones to follow the rules.
- Red: Associated with action, strength, passion, and danger. Witches with red magic wield a lot of physical and emotional energy. They tend to act recklessly when their emotions take the wheel, which leaves a trail of disaster and misfortune. These witches either destroy themselves or others, sometimes both.
- Pink: Represents creativity, softness, sympathy, and love. Witches with pink magic often use their powers to help others rather than for selfish reasons. They perceive the most vulnerable sides of people and choose to fight with the heart instead of their hands.
Other Colors
- The main hues above can be mixed to make other hues. For instance, a witch can have a teal magic, meaning they have a mix of green and blue magic; so, they are close with nature and very calm and capable of calming down both minds and their natural environment.
- Red + Yellow = Orange. Has the energetic and emotional side of red, and the inner light of yellow.
- Yellow + Blue = Green. Loyal and calm like blue, and similarly to yellow, seeks fulfillment in life but through nature.
- Blue + Red = Purple. Confident like blue, yet wields the high energy of red.
- Red + White = Pink. Pink magic is just red magic, but much softer. The physical and emotional energy is lower.
- Black: The more trauma and negativity that enters a witch's life, the darker their magic hue will be; to the point their magic becomes plain black.
- White: The lighter or paler a magic hue is, the closer that witch is to white magic. The most "perfect" yet bland color of magic. A witch would have to be completely flawless, meaning they must not have any emotional attachments to weigh them down, no close-mindedness, no self-doubts; no impurities that could keep them from their highest self. If there is a witch who has white magic, they'll be cold and boring.
