Jenny MilamHave you ever noticed that you’re drawn to certain colors? That they can affect your moods, enhance your confidence, calm restlessness, or even make you feel more empowered? That’s because colors carry energy.
People often feel they have a “power color”—one that suits them best and makes them feel like they’re putting their best foot forward in the world. If you’ve never been able to figure out “your” color, take a look below at our list of power colors broken down by zodiac sign.
The color that vibes best with your sun sign could make a difference in your life. Why not surround yourself with it and see?
Aries (March 21-April 19)
As the first fire sign of the zodiac, it’s only natural that your power color is red, Aries. You’re fiery, passionate, and itching to lead the charge at every opportunity. Red is the color of boldness, courage, and excitement. It’s a great color to bolster your creativity, and it also demands attention, something you’re never shy about. It’s also no surprise your ruling planet is Mars, the Red Planet.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus season marks the beginning of springtime, all lush and green. It’s the perfect color for you, Taurus. It signals growth, progress, revitalization, and wealth. It also reinforces your connection to nature, a tie that’s already strong because you’re the first earth sign of the zodiac. Green makes you feel simultaneously grounded and vivacious.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Bright, cheery, and energetic, yellow is definitely your power color, Gemini. Your inquisitive mind and social demeanor lighten and brighten everything you touch. You spread warmth and happiness like sunshine. Yellow is also the color of the mind and the intellect, enhancing your mental acuity and focus. (And let’s face it, sometimes you need help with the focusing part.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Ruled by the moon, it’s only fitting that your power color is a shimmery silver, Cancer. It’s cool, calm, and soothing while also exuding an air of mystery and magic. Silver is the color of intuition, which is kind of your superpower. Wearing and surrounding yourself with these metallic tones might increase this effect and put you more in touch with the moon’s natural rhythms.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
You’re ruled by the Sun, Leo, so of course your power color would be gold. Regal, audacious, and just a bit flashy, gold expresses your energy like nothing else could. Gold gives you the attention you crave (not that you needed much help there to begin with) while also exuding the warmth and generosity that people feel when they’re around you.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Practical, analytical, and earthy, your power color is brown, Virgo. While not as flashy as some other sign’s colors—which is unfortunately a natural comparison with you following so closely on Leo’s heels—brown suits someone who’s more comfortable behind the scenes than center stage. Brown is classic and grounded, and represents stability.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
You have a love of both love and beauty, Libra, and delicate and airy blue and pink hues reflect that softness and sensitivity. While light blue can increase clarity, soft pinks invoke your sweet and loving nature. These pale colors bring a calming and likable presence to your personality, and could bring you balance and good luck.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Surprising absolutely no one, your power color is black, Scorpio. The intense shade is perfect for someone who likes to keep other people guessing so much. Black represents the depths where you dwell, and the mysteries you unearth when you question everything. In western cultures, the color black also represents death and rebirth, which is mirrored in your ruling planet, Pluto.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Your power color is purple, Sagittarius—the color of spirituality, philosophy, and awareness. It’s creative and clever, just like you, and pushes your mind toward enlightenment and openness. And purple’s bold, encouraging you to think out of the box and broaden your horizons. It’s also the color of abundance. Purple speaks to you on a soul level, Sag.
Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
Mature and perfectly poised, you’re naturally drawn toward strong neutrals like charcoal grey. It’s practical but still makes a statement, much like you. Grey represents and enhances stability, reliability, and traditionalism, and it echoes your driven, no-nonsense approach to life. You may find that wearing or surrounding yourself with this color grounds you and makes you feel stronger.
Aquarius (January 21-February 20)
You’re an air sign, Aquarius, but you’re also the water bearer—someone who brings knowledge to the people. A shade of rich, deep blue helps to calm and center you, keeping those vast thoughts and ideas from spinning out of control. It represents creativity, and a smooth flow of ideas, conversation, and experimentation. Blue is also the color of your ruling planet, Uranus.
Pisces (February 21-March 20)
You’re the sign of the fish, Pisces, and you have an affinity to all things oceanic. Your power color is aquamarine, something that restores that dreamy, mystical Piscean energy when you’re worn thin. It’s both refreshing and uplifting, and enhances creativity and inspiration. The color aquamarine calms and balances the mind and the emotions, something your sensitive soul needs regularly.
