You’ve probably heard about the chakra system on your path of spiritual growth. The word chakra comes from the Sanskrit (sacred Hindu language), and it literally means “wheel of light”.
Chakras can be described as colorful vortexes of energy that constantly spin like wheels at different speeds.
Chakras are an ancient model of the human energy field that extends beyond the physical body and creates your energetic body, also known as the aura. The aura itself is generated by the spinning of chakra vortices within the body.
People who have the ability to see auras have often described seeing a luminous halo around a person, typically consisting of one or more colors.
As you might have guessed, each chakra is linked to a particular color. The speed of these energy centers depends on their health and wavelength of light associated with a particular chakra.
With all this in mind, interacting with a certain chakra color will assist you in attracting the energy, or frequency of that color into your life.
In this article, we are going to look at all 7 chakra colors in order (from root chakra to crown chakra), learn how to work with them and find out what is the exact meaning of each color for your energy centers.
Chakra Colors In Order
Let’s begin by looking at each of your chakras and their color correspondence in order:
- Chakra 1 – Root Chakra | Muladhara – Red Color
- Chakra 2 – Sacral Chakra | Svadhishthana – Orange Color
- Chakra 3 – Solar Plexus Chakra | Manipura – Yellow Color

You might have noticed that these are actually the 7 colors of rainbow!
When you take a close look at the seven colors of rainbow, you will realize that they always appear in a specific order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
All of your 7 chakra colors also appear in the same order within your energetic body.
This particular color arrangement is known as the spectrum of white light or the visible light, and it ranges from 700 nanometers (dark red color) to 400nm (violet color).
The wavelength of each color is different.
The longest wavelength is red, and the shortest wavelength is violet.
Interestingly, your chakra spinning speeds correlate with these wavelength frequencies:
– Root chakra spins at the lowest speed.
– Crown chakra vibrates at the highest frequency.
All of these waves make white light when they are seen together by the human eye.
White light is made of all rainbow colors, as it includes all seven wavelengths.
When you examine some of the ancient spiritual teachings, white is often revered as the color of enlightenment, divinity, and oneness.
It is very beneficial to visualize lots of bright, white light in your aura when you are working with any of your chakras through color therapy.
