Energy of Colors
Because color frequency is a sound wave, it has the inherent ability to pass through our energetic field, whether we see the color or not. As the color passes through our energy field, it will have an impact on us. The following definitions based on research by Dr. Annette Patterson and her belief that color touches every area of our being, discusses the possible impact.
Red – Physically affects the lower portion of the body, and internal organs within the lower abdominal area including the sexual organs. Red ignites and stimulates. It is life-force energy. Good for circulation. It has the ability to ground us. Red triggers characteristics of ambition, change, anger, war, power, sex, alertness, liberation, and survival. It’s a primal color. The medical profession recognizes red for use in cancer treatment.
Orange – Physically affects the area around the naval and upper abdomen; ovaries, spleen, prostate, kidneys, bladder, and sacrum. Characteristics of orange are joy, happiness, warmth, creativity, pleasure, sensuality, sexuality, and generosity. Orange moves energy gently. It awakens one to wisdom.

Good for menopause, as a sedative and relaxant. Purple/amethyst works well to combat addictions.
White – Physically affects the pituitary, brain and head. White contains all colors, so it does everything on all levels; physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Characteristics are purity, truth, brilliance, radiance, innocence, and illumination. White resonates with every part of our being. It helps to merge God/Goddess/Universe/ Nature/Spirit.
Dr. Patterson goes on to say that there is a huge range of various hues and shades to each of these colors that have their own subtle vibrations and that each individual’s experience with color will be unique.
Whether or not these colors actually effect us in the manner described, we do know that color is energetic and therefore, must mingle with our energetic bodies. Just that very fact is exciting, making the possibilities endless for artists. Through the use of color, we’re able to communicate to the very essence of the viewer. At the same time we’re painting, we’re receiving the benefits of working with color.
One more thing that pertains to the concept that all things are energetic is the impact of your intention when you do your art. Intention is also vibrational. If you paint with the intention of enjoyment, your finished piece will reflect that joy and that intention will be imbued in the painting.
