Your aura is essentially your “vibe” — the energetic frequency your body radiates. Just like a radio signal, the subtle vibration of your cells broadcasts information that others can sense when they’re around you.
Your aura appears as a spectrum of colors, and each hue reflects something about your emotional, mental, and energetic state in the present moment.
If you’re wondering, “How do I figure out my aura color?” you’re in the right place.
The most reliable way to see the colors surrounding you is through aura photography or aura imaging. Once you have your photograph, you can use the guide below to interpret what each color says about your energy.
Before we begin, remember that this guide offers general insights. Aura interpretations go much deeper when you consider color pairings, placement, density, and movement — all of which can shift based on what you’re experiencing in life.
Auras are not fixed. As your energy changes, so does the field around you. Two readings taken at different times can look completely different.
Oh, green auras — we adore them. Bright, vibrant greens are tied to the heart chakra and often show up in people who are balanced, compassionate, and easy to be around. This shade reflects harmony between caring for others and caring for yourself. If the green appears muddy or dull, it can point to jealousy, fear, or insecurity lingering beneath the surface.
Red is the color of power, passion, and physical drive. Lots of red, especially bright tones, often means you’re someone who takes action, gets things done, and channels ideas into reality. It’s a very grounded, energetic color. Darker or heavier reds may indicate unresolved anger or burnout.
Yellow radiates warmth, optimism, and confidence. If your aura glows with yellow, you likely lift the energy of the room just by showing up as your true self. This color is tied to joy, self-esteem, and intellectual clarity. The shadow side appears as perfectionism or overcompensation — a sign you may be trying too hard to prove yourself.
Think of orange as the fire that people naturally gather around. Folks with orange auras tend to be social, relationship-focused, and deeply connected to family and community. You’re enthusiastic, adventurous, and eager to experience life fully. If the orange looks muddy, it might signal impulsiveness, avoidance of commitment, or codependent tendencies.
Blue represents depth, intuition, and honesty. Lighter blues reflect strong communication and open-hearted self-expression. Darker blues point to inner wisdom, truth-seeking, and a grounded sense of self. When the blue leans toward navy or nearly black, it may mean you’ve become disconnected from your intuition or are struggling to trust your inner voice.
People with purple in their auras often feel connected to something larger than themselves. This color aligns with the crown chakra — the energy center linked to insight, cosmic awareness, and spiritual openness. Purple auras belong to innovators, visionaries, and individuals who think big. Your challenge is to trust that expansive awareness and allow your ideas to flow.
Indigo represents intuition, inner wisdom, and heightened perception. Those with indigo in their aura often sense things deeply and see beyond the obvious. Very dark indigo can signal overwhelm or feeling disconnected from grounding.
Hello beautiful soul — white in the aura is all about purity, clarity, and spiritual connection. It’s a sign of openness, enlightenment, and universal awareness. A soft gray within or surrounding the white may indicate a transitional period where you’re shifting from one phase of life into the next.
Pink auras reflect gentleness, compassion, and loving energy. People with pink in their aura tend to be kind-hearted, creative, and emotionally open. Softer or murky pinks may indicate people-pleasing or feeling drained from giving too much.
Absolutely. You’re a dynamic being, constantly shifting emotionally, mentally, and energetically. Your aura mirrors those changes.
Some people have signature colors that show up repeatedly, but even those shades can brighten, soften, or transform depending on what’s happening in your life. That’s why many people choose to have their aura photographed regularly — to track energetic growth and understand where they may need more support or self-care.
Your aura offers beautiful insight into your strengths, your blocks, and your current state of being. A professional reading can help you interpret the layers, interactions, and nuances of your energy field.
