Hmm, I feel like my childhood would be very beige, a polished limestone color perhaps - other people's ideas, wants, needs pressed and congealed into a muddy color that I've slowly had to extract myself from to find my crystal self (I like purple/amethyst these days.) The color of Neapolitan ice cream when we used to let it melt and stir it up in our bowl. ;)

Those are gorgeous colors—and guess what? Some lovely meanings

…here’s the color psychology of those choices:

Beige - trustworthy, dependable; calmness, simplicity and elegance.

Limestone white - tranquility.

Purple/amethyst - deep love, happiness, humility, sincerity, and wealth.

Dark pink/Desert sand (that color you get when you mix Neapolitan ice cream together) - confidence and ambition!

What do you think of these meanings @Mr. Troy Ford ?

I like it! Jenna @witchcraftandmetaphysics often talks about the shadow/light sides of the same things - I was def coming at my colors from a shadow perspective, but I love the light side you've presented. Thanks Tess!

I'm wondering what the shadow side of these colors were! But...if you think about it, wouldn't beige be Taurean? Wouldn't dark pink be all Leo?? Isn't that jazzy?

There was a time I imagined myself getting married in a hot pink tuxedo, top hat, tails, stick - the works, so yeah, very jazzy! *meow* 😘🐈‍⬛🦁
