3.3 COLOR COMBINATIONS
A highly interesting and informative phase of colorology is the study of color combinations. To list these in detail would be superfluous, as by comparing the charts just given it is easy to analyze a person’s composite traits. Here, however, you are moving from the psychic phase into the physical field, where subtle forces are supplanted by personal preferences.
So far we have have been dealing primarily with the aura. This is something that can at times be sensed. It is possible to type a person by color impressions, and sometimes a golden glow may be disturbed by spots of red; or a purple cloud may be streaked with brown, like an approaching storm. Then analysis becomes intuitive, being centered on the more definitive color, but with special interpretations for the intruding hues.
3.2 THE VIBRATORY COLORS
RED is the most forcible of colors, with a constantly active urge. It does not necessarily denote a headstrong nature, despite such phrases as “seeing red,” for it may be cool and calculating as well as vigorous. People who like red are stalwart and their bravery is often evidenced. But if badly goaded, they may become vengeful. Analysts are therefore apt to regard this as a fiery color, Whereas it actually represents virility, so flare-ups by persons with red preference may result from normal experiences. Being challengers, they frequently have encounters with persons who are just as determined as themselves.
Red is the most popular of colors, and when we realize that it is greatly favored by primitive tribes and persons of low mentality, it is easy to see how it has mistakenly been regarded as a symbol of brute force. Actually, red is the most controllable of colors, so no one should hesitate to admit it as a preference.
