Colour is one of the easiest ways to bring numerology into daily life. Each number from 1 to 9 is linked to a ruling planet, and each planet is linked to certain colours. Wearing or using these colours is believed to strengthen the positive qualities of your number.
Lucky colours for birth numbers 1 to 9
| Number | Planet | Lucky colours |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sun | Gold, orange, yellow |
| 2 | Moon | White, cream, silver, light green |
| 3 | Jupiter | Yellow, gold, purple |
| 4 | Rahu | Electric blue, grey, khaki |
| 5 | Mercury | Green, light grey, turquoise |
| 6 | Venus | Pink, light blue, white |
| 7 | Ketu | Sea green, light yellow, white |
| 8 | Saturn | Dark blue, black, deep purple, grey |
| 9 | Mars | Red, crimson, maroon |
Simple ways to use your colours
- Interviews and meetings: wear a shirt, tie, saree or dupatta in your main lucky colour.
- Accessories: if bold colours aren't your style, use a wallet, watch strap or phone cover.
- Workspace: add a cushion, plant pot or notebook in your colour to your desk.
- Branding: business owners often use the colours of the owner's or the business's number in their logo.
Colours to use carefully
Numerologists sometimes suggest avoiding the main colour of a challenging number. A birth number 1 person, for instance, may be advised not to wear a lot of black, which is associated with Saturn and number 8. This is a gentle guideline, not a strict rule.
Daily colour guidance
You can also choose a colour based on your personal day number. If today is a personal day 3, yellow may feel especially supportive; on a personal day 8, deep blue. Our Daily Vibes page suggests a colour for you every day.
