What Is Colour Energy?

The concept of Colour Energy

Our most important energy source is light, and the entire spectrum of colours is derived from light. Sunlight, which contains all the wavelengths, consists of the entire electromagnetic spectrum that we depend on to exist on this planet.

Light flows through our eyes and triggers hormone production, which influences our entire complex biochemical system. This biochemical system then affects our being. And light does not travel alone. Light travels with other energies, as illustrated here.

We know that each colour found in the visible light spectrum has its own wavelength and its own frequency, which produces a specific energy and has a nutritive effect. We know some rays can be dangerous if we are exposed to them. But the visible light, the rainbow, has a soothing effect on us.

Prism spectrum: dispersion of visible lightWhite light, which combines all visible wavelengths, enters a glass prism. Each wavelength bends by a different amount (dispersion), so the light leaves the prism spread into the visible spectrum from 400 to 700 nanometres. Violet 400–450 nm (670–750 THz), indigo 450–475 nm (630–670 THz), blue 475–495 nm (605–630 THz), green 495–570 nm (525–605 THz), yellow 570–590 nm (510–525 THz), orange 590–620 nm (485–510 THz), red 620–700 nm (430–485 THz). Shorter wavelengths carry higher energy and higher frequency; longer wavelengths carry lower energy and lower frequency.WHITE LIGHTAll visible wavelengths combined.GLASS PRISMEach wavelength bends bya different amount (dispersion).VISIBLE SPECTRUM400 – 700 nm400450500550600650700WAVELENGTH (nm)

What is Colour Energy?

Light is the only energy we can see, and we see it in the form of colour.

Visible light within the electromagnetic spectrum, from the Sun to EarthThe Sun, at about 5,800 K, emits a broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation peaking around 500 nm. The spectrum runs from gamma rays (under 0.01 nm), X-rays (0.01 to 10 nm) and ultraviolet (10 to 400 nm), through visible light (400 to 700 nm), to infrared (700 nm to 1 mm), microwaves (1 mm to 1 m) and radio waves (over 1 m). Shorter wavelengths carry higher energy. The visible spectrum runs from violet at 400 nm to red at 700 nm. Earth receives only part of the Sun's radiation due to atmospheric absorption. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles, not part of the electromagnetic spectrum.VISIBLE LIGHT WITHIN THEELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUMFROM THE SUN TO EARTHTHE SUN~ 5,800 KBroad spectrum ofelectromagnetic radiation,peaking around 500 nm.COSMIC RAYS(HIGH-ENERGY PARTICLES)Primarily protons and atomic nucleifrom the Sun and beyond.Not part of the electromagneticspectrum shown below.GAMMA RAYS(γ)< 0.01 nmHIGHEST ENERGYSHORTESTWAVELENGTHNUCLEAR ORIGIN(IONISING)X-RAYS(X)0.01 – 10 nmVERY HIGH ENERGYELECTRON ORIGIN(IONISING)ULTRAVIOLET(UV)10 – 400 nmHIGH ENERGYCHEMICAL EFFECTSEXTREME UV ISIONISINGVISIBLE LIGHT400 – 700 nmVISIBLE TOHUMAN EYEINFRARED(IR)700 nm – 1 mmTHERMAL RADIATIONHEATMICROWAVES1 mm – 1 mMOLECULAR EXCITATIONCOMMUNICATIONSRADIO WAVES> 1 mLOWEST ENERGYLONGESTWAVELENGTHWAVELENGTH (meters)HIGHER ENERGYSHORTER WAVELENGTHLOWER ENERGYLONGER WAVELENGTHVISIBLE SPECTRUM (ENLARGED)400450500550600650700WAVELENGTH (nanometers, nm)400 nmVIOLETHIGHER ENERGYSHORTER WAVELENGTH700 nmREDLOWER ENERGYLONGER WAVELENGTHEARTHReceives only part of theSun’s radiation due toatmospheric absorption.

Light consists of the seven Colour Energies

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Each colour is connected to various areas of our body and will affect us differently emotionally, physically, and mentally. By learning how each colour influences us, we can effectively use colour to give us an extra boost of energy when we need it.

If you wake up in the morning with little energy, or you need to prepare for a business meeting, this is where the power of colours can help. All you have to do is reflect on the type of day you have planned; choose the colour that will help you meet the demands of the day; and then absorb that particular colour. It's like fueling your system with the right kind of gas.
