Colour Magic

There’s a good reason this was the colour code for Beyonce’s Beyhive performance at Coachella. Also being coined the shade of our generation (#GenZyellow). Universal for happiness and joy. Wear to activate your mind, uplift your mood and bring mental clarity. Great for studying and positivity. Try this season’s must have colours of turmeric or mango.

High-octane, energetic and creative. Connected with our sacral chakra this colour has a sexiness to it too. If the juicy bright is too much for you, try the more earthy shades of orange like terracotta which is having a macro moment on the insta feed.   

Think action, passion, power and courage. A very strong colour to be used wisely as can sometimes amplify anger or intimidate others. Toned down shades like paprika are all the rage, get the benefits without being too loud. Otherwise a bright floral prairie dress always has the right kind of confidence boost for day or night.  

Serenity now. The colour of communication and calm. Perfect wardrobe supplement when you have a big presentation or meeting scheduled. Settles the nerves. Navys are very comforting where as denim is the ultimate mix between relaxed and cool. Pale blues like sky are also great to encourage sleep.

Healing and symbol of new growth. If feeling a bit wired or drained from our high-tech lifestyles then wearing this colour will help to connect back to nature. Bright shades are great for new beginnings or deeper hues like forest are very rejuvenating. Khaki is a balanced mix of both qualities. When needing to make a decision from the heart, this is the perfect colour to wear.

The strength is in the softness. Think of the pink pussy hats at the women’s march. Ooze compassion and heart in this colour. Great if trying to get more in touch with yourself. Pastel shades are very loving where as magenta can be magnetic and super-boost focus.

For those who meditate, violet is known to activate your spiritual energy. Where as lavender can bring out your feminine nature. At its core the benefits include enhancing imagination and relieving stress. Great to add in a splash when feeling a bit lack lustre or wanting to stand out from the pack.

White is the colour of all colours. It is said that when you wear it your energy reflects out and expands your aura. In the colder months it is a great substitute for sunshine given that it can stimulate serotonin production. Given its cleansing nature, wear when feeling heavy to lighten the mood. Love off-white and cream layers to feel ultra fresh.

Grounding. Duh. Given the chaos of modern life there’s no wonder brown is showing up in a big way as our new neutral favourite. When you are feeling a bit spacey or frazzled bring yourself back down-to-earth with caramel, bark or cinnamon. It also holds warming and nurturing traits.

Beloved by the cosmopolitan crowds. Black is like a security blanket - great to protect your energy in overwhelming scenes but also blocks connection. If you want to keep a low-profile this is your dark friend.
