Whether you had a favourite outfit growing up that you refused to take off (mine was purple tie-dye corduroy pants and butterfly hair clips [1] à la Lizzie McGuire [2]) or home decor that leans heavily to one colour scheme, chances are you're more drawn to certain hues than others. And there's a reason for that, because as it turns out, every zodiac sign has a specific power colour [3]! Your zodiac power colour is something you can wear, accessorise with, decorate with, or use to bring out and enhance your sign's best qualities [4]. Curious what your power colour is? Keep reading to see a detailed breakdown for every sign.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Brown and Gray
Capricorns are known for being disciplined, responsible, down to earth, realistic, and hard workers. Their power colours are brown and grey, which are both neutral hues that are staples of any outfit or home. Brown is associated with seriousness and stability [6], and grey is known as being neutral [7], indecisive, in between black and white, steady, mature, and a little mysterious. This also describes a Capricorn, who isn't flashy yet is a cornerstone of any design.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Blue
Creative, socially conscious, independent, friendly, and strong, Aquarius's power colour is blue. This is a bright, pretty colour that brings peace and joy to the onlooker. Blue is associated with art [8], jewellery, water, thoughtfulness, serenity, and tranquility. Wear blue to channel your artistic side and feel calm.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Light Green
Pisces's birthdays are right before spring, so their power colour is a pretty, fresh light green. This sign is known for being emotional, empathetic, creative, and spiritual, and green is associated with new growth [9], health, nature, relaxation, connection, and vitality. Surround yourself with green by going on a walk in nature to feel refreshed.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Red
The power colour for the happy, bold Aries is red. This is a fire sign, known for their passion, motivation, determination, leadership abilities, and love for adventure, so it's no wonder that red — a colour known for intensity [10], romance, celebration, danger, and excitement — represents this strong sign. Swipe on red lipstick to tell the world you're in charge.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Green
The Earth always has greenery — it's dependable and consistent, just like a Taurus, which is why it's so fitting that it's this sign's power colour. Green is known for growth [11], relaxation, connection, tranquility, innocence, and dependability. Wear green when you want to feel grounded.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Yellow
Sunshine yellow is bright and inspiring, which means it's the perfect colour for upbeat Geminis. This sign is known for being outgoing, intelligent, and easygoing, similar to yellow, which is known for happiness and optimism [12].
Cancer (June 21-July 22): White and Silver
Loyal, intuitive, caring, and sensitive, Cancers have dual power colours of white and silver. Like sparkly diamonds, clean linens, and blank canvases, these colours are known for purity [13] and beauty. Wearing white or silver can help Cancers feel calm, comfort, and hope.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Gold
When Leos want to stand out from the crowd and feel like their most confident selves, they should wear gold! This colour is traditionally associated with royalty, wealth, success, and extravagance [14], so you'll feel positive, generous, and like the star you are.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Green and Brown
Virgos are practical, loyal friends, perfectionists, and focussed on self-improvement. This is an Earth sign, so it's fitting that its colours are green and brown. These colours are found in nature, with brown being reliable and wise [15] and green being fresh, healthy, and invigourating [16].
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Pink and Blue
Libras are lovers of balance, peace, generosity, and indulgence. This sign's power colours are pink and blue, which seem opposite but actually balance each other out. Pink is calming [17], linked with love, femininity, optimism, and kindness, while blue is restorative [18], linked with the ocean or sky, sincerity, intellectuality, and thoughtfulness.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Black
Perhaps the most mysterious sign in the zodiac, Scorpios are brave, ambitious, secretive, and assertive. Their colour is black, which is known for being sophisticated [19] and powerful. Encourage your strength and inquisitive nature by wearing black.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Purple
A Sagittarius can feel even more friendly, funny, honest, and spontaneous when wearing their power colour: purple! This colour is known for luxury [20], nobility, wisdom, dignity, grace, mysticism, and calm, so surround yourself with purple to feel more positive, open, and social.
