What do the colors of a rainbow mean?

Answer 1

Whilst everybody agrees on the colours of the rainbow in their order of Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet, there, is no overall agreement on what they signify, it varies with the Spirtual School of Thought. There is even less agreement on what they mean when perceived in an Aura of a person.

In a general way, they tend to be linked to the colours of the Chakras in the 7 Chakra system(there are others). Conceptually, they are in ascending order of spirituallity, with red being the physical matter and the mid point is green. A school of thought looks on them as being folded about this mid point forming the duality, so the duality of red would be violet, orange with indigo and yellow with blue.

In the chakra system, which is linked to the centres of energy in the body, Red would represent the physical body, especially the skeleton. Orange relates to the numbril, and thus the creative energies, particularly the sex drive. Yellow would be the solar plexus, the seat of the ego. Green, being the heart, often considered in two parts, one being love as it is generally understood, and the other higher part being altruistic love.

Blue is for the throat and is linked to the communication of thought and the mental process, indigo is for the third eye, linked to the pineal gland, which, if it is not much solicited, often becomes calcified in most people by the age of 50, and violet to wisdom, a sign of at least some enlightement.

They are all the colors of visible light spectrum. They come about with the dispersion of white light which breaks it down into individual wavelengths. Red has the longest wavelength and shortest frequency of light. Violet has the exact opposite. ROYGBIV is from longest to shortest wavelength of visible light only. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation and other forms exist such as infrared, ultraviolet, and microwaves; but they are INVISIBLE to the human eye so they have NO COLORS.
