A Guide to Color Symbolism


You’ll find the messages and meanings of over 100 colors in “A Guide to Color Symbolism.” Psychological symbolism (both positive and negative associations), religious and political symbolism, and much more is covered in this guidebook.

Choosing colors can’t get any easier than this. You’ll be able to pinpoint the precise symbolism of any shade of a color – from light to dark. All of the 100 color swatches are identified by specific symbolic associations, RGB formulas and HEX codes. Color swatches are grouped into red, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, brown, black, white and gray categories. Groupings include a light, medium, dark, bright and muted color versions.

Note: The color accuracy is far better than books in print because they’re e-books (PDF’s). Instead of the compromises that occur with color reproductions in printed publications, Color Voodoo achieves remarkable color in all the illustrations.

  • “The color symbolism guide has been very helpful. Some of what is there is intuitive – gut feel and experience, but the confirmation, reinforcement, as well as the new information, is really helpful – I also think it’s going to be helpful to have adjectives that I can use with clients to discuss my decisions. Your publication is also easy to use.” … Laurel
