Aura Colors and Their Meanings: A Complete Guide
What your energy field is actually telling you - and how to read it.
Whether you've just had your first aura photography session or you've been curious about energy fields for years, you've probably wondered: what do the colors actually mean? Not in a vague "red means passion, blue means calm" way - but in a real, specific, what is my aura telling me right now way.
After thousands of aura readings using biofeedback technology, here's what I've learned: your aura colors aren't a personality type or a permanent label. They're a live signal. They shift with your nervous system, your emotional state, your season of life. What shows up in your field today is a snapshot - honest, specific, and remarkably consistent once you know how to read it.
This guide covers every color that appears in a Soma Lumin aura reading: what each one means, where it might show up in your field, and what it's pointing you toward.
First: How Aura Photography Actually Works
Aura photography - and its evolution, aura videography - uses biofeedback sensors to read the electrical signals in your body. Your hands rest on sensors that detect subtle changes in your bioelectric field. A proprietary algorithm translates that data into a spectrum of colors, rendered as a luminous overlay around your physical form.
In traditional aura photography (like images from a classic instant-film aura camera), this produces a single still photo. In aura videography - which Soma Lumin pioneered - the field is captured as live video, updating in real time as you shift, breathe, and settle. You can actually watch your energy change.
The colors that appear aren't random. They correspond to frequencies being detected, which map onto different energy centers, emotional states, and areas of life. Here's what each one means.
Your aura is an energetic field that surrounds you, reflecting your emotions, thoughts, and personal energy.
Each color and shape in your aura carries a distinct frequency and meaning. While auras are dynamic and can shift over time, the image captured in your aura photo represent the energy you are radiating in this moment.
Your aura photo captures a unique moment in time, but your energy is both constant and ever-changing.

①
🔴 Red – Vitality & Passion
Keywords: Grounding, safety, security, ancestral connection
Red in the aura speaks to your relationship with the physical world - your sense of safety, belonging, and rootedness. When red appears at the edges of the field, it can indicate ancestral connection or the presence of loved ones nearby in spirit. When it radiates from the body itself, it's a signal that movement-based practices - dance, walking, yoga, anything that gets you back into your body - would feel especially nourishing right now.
Red is also the color of vitality. It's life-force energy, grounded and present.
Crystal Ally: Red Jasper | Plant Ally: Ginger Root
Grounded, energetic, and action-oriented
Strong physical presence and connection to the material world
Can indicate ambition, determination, or intensity
If deep red: Focused and determined
If bright red: Expressing passion and excitement
🟠 Orange – Creativity & Social Connection
Keywords: Creativity, movement, vitality, self-generated power
Orange and amber are among the rarer colors to appear in aura photography, and when they do - take notice. This is the color of an inner locomotive force that is very much online: self-generated creative energy that isn't borrowed from anyone or anything else. It speaks to vitality, movement, and a creative impulse that wants to be expressed now.
If orange appears in your aura reading, something in you is ready to move. Honor that.
Crystal Ally: Carnelian | Plant Ally: Calendula
Highly creative, expressive, and enthusiastic
Outgoing and enjoys deep, meaningful connections
Linked to the sacral chakra (pleasure, emotions, and relationships)
A strong orange hue may indicate charisma and confidence
🟡 Yellow – Joy & Intellect
Keywords: Intellect, clarity, analysis, mental energy
Yellow is the color of the engaged mind. It signals a period of sharp analytical thinking, clarity, and cerebral focus - the mind is online and working well. This is a great color to see when you're in a research phase, writing, problem-solving, or making decisions that require focused thought.
Yellow doesn't mean you're in your head in a dissociated way. It means your intellect is a resource right now. Use it.
Crystal Ally: Citrine | Plant Ally: Rosemary
Radiates happiness, optimism, and mental clarity
Associated with strong intellect, curiosity, and an analytical mind
Linked to the solar plexus chakra (personal power and self-esteem)
Bright yellow suggests a playful, joyful nature
Golden yellow can indicate spiritual wisdom and enlightenment
🟢 Green – Healing & Balance
Keywords: Growth, healing, compassion, openness, integration
Green is the color of the heart in motion - not just love, but active growth. It shows up in fields that are in a genuine period of change, healing, or expansion. There's a tenderness to green: it often appears when someone is doing real inner work, learning to receive as well as give, or opening up after a period of closure.
It's also the color of integration - of the heart and mind learning to work together.
Crystal Ally: Green Aventurine | Plant Ally: Hawthorn
Connected to nature, healing energy, and emotional growth
Often seen in those with nurturing, empathetic qualities
A deep green suggests stability and grounding
Bright green may indicate personal growth or a strong heart chakra
🔵 Blues – Communication & Intuition:
🩵 Turquoise | Throat Chakra / Bridge
Keywords: Communication, sacred space, guidance, articulation
Turquoise sits at the bridge between heart and voice. It's the color of the communicator and guide - patient, articulate, and gifted at building containers for other people's experiences. If you carry turquoise in your field, you likely have a natural ability to create spaces where others feel genuinely safe to open up.
This is a mercurial, in-between energy. A steward of conversations. Someone who can hold complexity without collapsing it.
Crystal Ally: Amazonite | Plant Ally: Peppermint
💙 Cerulean | Throat Chakra
Keywords: Emotional fluency, somatic awareness, deep empathy
Where turquoise is about communication outward, cornflower blue is about deep inner attunement. This is the color of emotional fluency - a natural ability to hold space for others while remaining grounded in your own emotional landscape. It often appears in people who are deeply attuned to somatic experience: the body as a source of knowing.
If cornflower blue shows up in your aura reading, you likely carry more emotional wisdom than you give yourself credit for.
Crystal Ally: Blue Lace Agate | Plant Ally: Chamomile
Linked to strong communicators, deep thinkers, and intuitive individuals
Associated with the throat chakra (truth, expression, and wisdom)
Sky blue represents honesty and openness
Deep blue (indigo) connects to higher intuition and spiritual awareness
🟣 Purple/Violet – Spiritual Awareness & Transformation
Keywords: Embodied presence, openness, nurturing, chosen family
Violet speaks to openness and a deep comfort in one's own natural expression. It often appears in people who carry a lot of nurturing energy - not in a self-sacrificing way, but in the sense of creating warmth and belonging for others. Chosen family counts here.
Violet is also the color of spiritual permeability: an openness to what's beyond the visible, held lightly rather than grasped at.
Crystal Ally: Amethyst | Plant Ally: Lavender
Indicates connection to the divine, heightened intuition, and psychic abilities
Often seen in highly spiritual or introspective individuals
Violet suggests deep transformation and enlightenment
Lavender shades point to a dreamy, imaginative nature
💖 Pink – Love & Compassion
Keywords: Protection, presence, trust, big sibling energy
Pink is rare and precious in aura photography - and when it appears, it means something specific. This is big sibling energy: the space holder, the secret keeper, the quiet protector. Not maternal, but fiercely present. People with pink in their field are the ones others instinctively trust with the things they've never said out loud.
If pink shows up in your reading, you are someone's safe harbor - and you may not fully know it yet.
Crystal Ally: Morganite | Plant Ally: Rose
Strong heart energy; indicates unconditional love and kindness
Often present in highly empathetic, gentle, and nurturing individuals
Bright pink suggests self-love and confidence in emotional expression
🤍 White – Pure Energy & Higher Consciousness
Keywords: Higher awareness, clarity, spiritual presence, luminosity
White in the aura is the rarest color in the Soma Lumin system, and it signals a quality of presence that transcends ordinary emotional categories. It often appears in moments of genuine clarity, spiritual breakthrough, or deep stillness - or around people who are in active service to something larger than themselves.
When white shows up, pay attention to what you're in the middle of. Something real is happening.
Crystal Ally: Clear Quartz | Plant Ally: White Sage
Rare and often seen in deeply spiritual individuals
Can indicate purity, truth, and a connection to divine wisdom
Often reflects a temporary energetic state during times of clarity or awakening
⚫️ Black – Protection & Absorption
Can appear in aura photos when someone is absorbing energy from others
May indicate a need for energetic protection or a time of deep transformation
Not inherently negative—often means deep self-work is occurring
🌈 Multicolored or Rainbow Auras – High Vibrational Energy
Indicates a person who is adaptable, creative, and spiritually open
A mix of colors suggests many different influences at play
Often seen in healers, artists, and those undergoing a period of energetic expansion
📍 Aura Color Placement & Its Meaning
The position of colors in your aura photo can also reveal different aspects of your energy field:
🔺 Above the Head (Thought/Consciousness) – Represents your current mental state, spiritual connection, and future potential. Colors here indicate where your thoughts and consciousness are focused.
Example: Bright yellow above the head may suggest mental clarity, optimism, or a period of learning and growth.
🔹 Left Side (Self/Inner Energy) – This area reflects your inner world, subconscious emotions, and personal energy that others might not immediately see.
Example: Deep green on the left may indicate personal healing or deep emotional work.
🔸 Right Side (Persona/External Energy) – This represents the energy you project outward, how others perceive you, and how you interact with the world.
Example: Bright blue on the right suggests a strong communicator or someone currently focused on self-expression.
💜 Around the Heart (Emotional Center) – The center of your aura, around the chest, relates to your emotions, relationships, and overall heart energy.
Example: Pink around the heart indicates strong love, compassion, or a deep connection to others.
⚡️ Lower Area (Grounding & Stability) – Colors near the lower part of the aura represent your connection to the physical world, stability, and action-oriented energy.
Example: Red in the lower area suggests strong grounding, vitality, and physical energy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aura Colors
How do I know what color my aura is?
The most accurate way is through a biofeedback-based aura reading - either in person or remotely. Soma Lumin offers both. Some people also have a strong intuitive sense of their dominant colors, especially after seeing their field captured in an aura photography session.
Can my aura color change?
Yes, constantly. Aura colors aren't fixed personality traits - they reflect your current energetic state. Most people see different colors across different readings, though certain colors tend to appear repeatedly, suggesting a more stable underlying frequency.
What does it mean if I have multiple colors in my aura?
Most aura readings capture 2-3 colors. A multi-color field means complementary energies are working together - inner and outer worlds in dialogue. It's a sign of complexity and richness, not confusion.
What is the difference between aura photography and aura videography?
Traditional aura photography produces a single still image - a snapshot of your energy field at one moment. Soma Lumin's aura videography captures the field as real-time video, which means you can watch your energy shift and move during the session. It's a more dynamic and complete picture, and the only system of its kind in the world.
What's the difference between aura photography and Kirlian photography?
Kirlian photography captures the electrical coronal discharge around an object or body part (usually fingertips) on photographic film. Aura photography uses biofeedback sensor data to generate a colorful field overlay around the whole body. They're related in spirit but quite different in method and output.
Is aura photography real or fake?
Soma Lumin's system is built on real biofeedback technology - not filters, not AI generation, not guesswork. Your hands rest on sensors that measure your body's bioelectric field. That data drives the colors. The interpretation layer is intuitive, but the technology underneath it is real. Summer Ray wrote the code and built the cameras herself.
