All my favorite magic systems are color coded.

Magic the gathering, War hammer, Chrono cross, Eternal darkness. The colors really help with the fluff of the ernergies and makes magic more interesting.

So can anyone help me with ideas for the characteristics that could be attributed to these energies:

Violet
Blue
Green
Yellow
Orange
Red
Black
White

Thanks.

Violet: The magic of Memory, Dreams, and Illusion. The power to retrieve hidden thoughts and alter perceptions.
Blue: The magic of the Stars and the Darkness Between. The power to predict or even prescribe destiny and doom.
Green: The magic of Death and Silence. The power to drain life from the living, to still the quick, and to raise the dead as voiceless puppets.
Yellow: The magic of Warmth and Vitality. The power to heal the sick, close wounds, and invigorate those weary in body or mind.
Orange: The magic of the Heart's Blood. The power over emotion and circulation. Inflame passions and calm tempers (or vice versa), cause intense blushing, or give someone the cold, clammy pallor of a dead fish.
Red: The magic of Form and Creation. The power to change shapes, mold raw materials into new structures, or mutate a prince into a frog... Or an owlbear. Or an amphibious owlbear.
Black: The magic of Paths and Shadows. The power to alter distance and direction. Run full speed through a dense forest without striking a single tree branch or disturbing a blade of grass. Take a shortcut through an alley and emerge in a street across town. Curse someone to be lost in their own home like a twisting labyrinth.
White: The magic of Disintegration and Destruction. Disassemble a manufactured object into its component parts, rust a sword to dust with a touch, or turn friends into strangers with a whisper.

"Why isn't Death magic black? Why isn't the green magic about controlling plants?"
"It's magic, not a children's book of rainbows. Maybe the colors were more intuitive to the inhuman eyes of the ancients that assigned the colors to the strands of chaos that power these spells."

Short, but here's a guide to different colours as used and applied to visual design: https://zevendesign.com/color-association/

Violet - The color of domination and contract. Compulsions and demonic binding fall under this color. Spells that restrict or compel the target's behavior. Violet is the cloak of the king.

Blue - The color of sky and sea. Travel, water spells, air spells, flight, weather prediction and control. Blue is the flag of the admiral.

Green - The color of a sick child or a healthy herb. Poison and healing, imposing or removing bodily ailments. Green are the eyes of the witch.

Yellow - The color of bronze and sulfur. Acids and alloys, enhancing or destroying metal, transmuting gold or animating a golem. Yellow is the smock of the alchemist.

Orange - The color of nothing natural except that one weird fruit. Spells of this color invoke alien energies, summoning or commanding aberrations, allowing you to graft their horrific unnatural body parts to people, or temporarily bestowing aberrant traits upon a natural being. Also for some reason there's one orange spell which can help keep people healthy while at sea, but that's suspected to be a trap. Prolonged exposure to aberrations can turn a man's skin orange; such people are severely distrusted, and for good reason. Orange is the wand of the alienist.

Red - The color of fire and blood. Spells that emulate the aspect or powers of a dragon, such as fire, might, or fear; spells that unveil a person's bloodline; spells that detect blood impurities such as exposure to a lycanthrope or vampire. Red are the scales of the dragon.

Black - The color of ink and the eye's pupil. Spells that enhance sight, or allow you to see distant places, even unto the realm of dreams. Spells that grant knowledge or expose the unseen; divination, precognition, foresight, dreamwalking. Black is the robe of the graduate.

White - The color of bone and bleach. Purity, death, nullification, severing. Instant death effects; spells that restrict magic in an area like consecration / hallow / dimensional lock; spells that specifically target tainted or unholy beings; spells that remove curses; anti-magic. White is the wing of the angel.

What kind of world is this for? For instance, in some worlds black would be a shoe in for necromancy, with white being healing and blessing (although blue is often something like that as well), red can than do blasting and fire spells, green for nature, and to be fair it gets less obvious from there. Maybe violet for illusions? (Yellow or orange could be tied to energy? Like self buffs and maybe a lightning bolt here and there?) But if you're trying to subvert the standard good versus evil thing you might want to purposefully not do black and white like that. Or maybe you do want black magic being evil, your flavor of necromancy just isn't evil (but rather a good use of resources). Nature being green makes sense because of green plants. Does the setting have those? Are you even looking for obvious literal interpretations like that, or should the system be a bit more abstract, like a color is tied to an emotion and spells linked to that emotion are grouped in with the color? Or do you want spells grouped strictly by use, having a single color for summoning rather than having summoning spells in green (bears), black (zombies/demons) and white (angels)? Are you even looking for a spell based system, or could there be a color for shape shifting or super senses and clairvoyance? We don't have too much to go on here.

Here's a thought:

In painting, the primary colours are red, blue and yellow (printing is CMY and light is RBG, but they don't produce the right secondaries). The secondary colours are orange, green and violet. So you can divide them like this:

0 Elements: Black
1 Element: Red, Blue, Yellow
2 Elements: Orange, Green, Violet
3 Elements: White

That way, you only have to decide what you want red, blue and yellow to mean, and then orange, green and purple will fall into place, and so will black and white.

How about...

Black: Maintain
Red: Destroy
Blue: Alter
Yellow: Create
Orange: Teleport or transfer
Green: Add or enlarge
Violet: Remove or Reduce
White: Complicated stuff involving all three.

So, for example:

A black spell could protect creatures or counter other spells.
A red spell could set a creature on fire.
A blue spell could turn you into a dragon.
A yellow spell could heal you or create a wall.
An orange spell might include some kind of life drain effect.
A green spell might alter you by creating wings and thereby let you fly.
A violet spell might include one which causes the target's body to tear itself apart from the inside.
A white spell might transform your weapon into a giant blade of destructive energy.

Of course, just because a spell doesn't include a component doesn't mean it can't do that thing - create gunpowder might fit squarely into create, and so might alter foundation into blue, but that doesn't stop them from helping you destroy things. How you balance that is up to you.

Just take this (http://greenlantern.wikia.com/wiki/Emotional_Spectrum) and make the powers more varied than "hard-light constructs."

I have been working for years on a color based magic system with similar inspirations.

I even tried to use it on a a game here:

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?543787-The-Iron-Wiseman-A-simple-d20-game

So I'll just post my notes on here, they are just a draft so many dieas are badly written or even repetitve but it may help you.

Look at it's almost 11 pages worth of text, research, useless trivia and poorly organzied ctrl+c ctrl+P text.

It's also full of bad grammar and typos.

Arcane magic comes from the energy called mana, mana similar to the light is colorless but when it reaches the material plane it divides itself in a spectrum, each energy manifestation can do the same but has different connotations. All energies can do the same feats in arcane magic but some are better at certain schools.

Green

The color of life and corruption

Green is both the color of health, trees, plants and natural life as it’s the color of corruption, decay, poison and venoms.

By far the largest contributor to green in nature is chlorophyll, the chemical by which plants photosynthesize and convert sunlight into chemical energy. Many creatures have adapted to their green environments by taking on a green hue themselves as camouflage. Several minerals have a green color, including the emerald, which is colored green by its chromium content.

During post-classical and early modern Europe, green was the color commonly associated with wealth, merchants, bankers and the gentry, while red was reserved for the nobility.

It is the historic color of Islam, representing the lush vegetation of Paradise. It was the color of the banner of Muhammad, and is found in the flags of nearly all Islamic countries.

Green is the color most commonly associated with nature, life, health, youth, spring, hope and envy.

Green is also sometimes associated with toxicity and poor health, but in China and most of Asia, its associations are very positive, as the symbol of fertility and happiness.

The green mages are often thin and healthy or almost in the state od decay.

Because of its association with nature, it is the color of the environmental movement. Political groups advocating environmental protection and social justice describe themselves as part of the Green movement, some naming themselves Green parties. This has led to similar campaigns in advertising, as companies have sold green, or environmentally friendly, products.

Green is also the traditional color of safety and permission; a green light means go ahead, a green card permits permanent residence in the United States.

Green is common in nature, as many plants are green because of a complex chemical known as chlorophyll, which is involved in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs the long wavelengths of light (red) and short wavelengths of light (blue) much more efficiently than the wavelengths that appear green to the human eye, so light reflected by plants is enriched in green.

Animals typically use the color green as camouflage, blending in with the chlorophyll green of the surrounding environment.

The favored school of this energy is illusion.

There is no green pigment in green eyes; it is an optical illusion; its appearance is caused by the combination of an amber or light brown pigmentation of the stroma, given by a low or moderate concentration of melanin, with the blue tone imparted by the Rayleigh scattering of the reflected light.

Green is often seen as a color of healing and cure, unlike red that deals with raw life energy green deal with gentle haling and cure spells.

Green was the symbol of regeneration and rebirth in the old civilizations.

In Ancient Greece, green and blue were sometimes considered the same color.

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the color of clothing showed a person's social rank and profession. Red could only be worn by the nobility, brown and gray by peasants, and green by merchants, bankers and the gentry and their families.

Unfortunately for those who wanted or were required to wear green, there were no good vegetal green dyes which resisted washing and sunlight. Green dyes were made out of the fern, plantain, buckthorn berries, the juice of nettles and of leeks, the digitalis plant, the broom plant, the leaves of the fraxinus, or ash tree, and the bark of the alder tree, but they rapidly faded or changed color. Only in the 16th century was a good green dye produced, by first dyeing the cloth blue with woad, and then yellow with Reseda luteola, also known as yellow-weed.

Sometimes the pigments used to to get dye clothes in the color green were toxic.

The 18th and 19th century brought the discovery and production of synthetic green pigments and dyes, which rapidly replaced the earlier mineral and vegetable pigments and dyes. These new dyes were more stable and brilliant than the vegetable dyes, but some contained high levels of arsenic, and were eventually banned.

The main ideas behind green are Safety, nature, vivacity, health and permission.

Most mages that use green energy show virtues such as Calm, tolerance, and the agreeability.

But green is also associated with flaws such as Jealousy and envy.

Green mages are often great manipulators, using illusions and deception to reach their goals.

It’s a color associated with raw intelligence without wisdom.

It’s the color of healing but also of the restless spirits.

It’s often the color of Dragons, fairies, monsters, and devils.

It’s the color of Poison and sickness.

Like other common colors, green has several completely opposite associations. While it is the color most associated by Europeans and Americans with good health, it is also the color most often associated with toxicity and poison. There was a solid foundation for this association; in the nineteenth century several popular paints and pigments, notably verdigris, vert de Schweinfurt and vert de Paris, were highly toxic, containing copper or arsenic.

The intoxicating drink absinthe was known as "the green fairy".

Green in Europe and the United States is sometimes associated with status and prosperity. From the Middle Ages to the 19th century it was often worn by bankers, merchants country gentlemen and others who were wealthy but not members of the nobility. The benches in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, where the landed gentry sat, are colored green.

It’s the color Slytherin house values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness.

The lovecraftian horror associated with it is Cthulhu.

Green mages are often more intellectual then the ritualistic blues, for that reason they are great in the art of scribing and creating magical scrolls.

The green chakra is the heart chakra is located in or behind the heart.

Green spells often deal with the manipulation of emotions, dreams and minds.

It’s Phlegmatic (phlegm): Introverted, unemotional, and people-oriented.

The special form of undead created by this energy is the swamp undead, a cadaver imbued with the life energies of swamp returns as a greenish mummy under control of the green mage.

Blue

The celestial color of the sky, sea, oceans and distance.

The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering. An optical effect called Tyndall scattering explains blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called atmospheric perspective.

A color of union.

Blue has been an important colour in art and decoration since ancient times. The semi-precious stone lapis lazuli was used in ancient Egypt for jewellery and ornament and later, in the Renaissance, to make the pigment ultramarine, the most expensive of all pigments. In the eighth century Chinese artists used cobalt blue to colour fine blue and white porcelain. In the Middle Ages, European artists used it in the windows of Cathedrals. Europeans wore clothing coloured with the vegetable dye woad until it was replaced by the finer indigo from America. In the 19th century, synthetic blue dyes and pigments gradually replaced mineral pigments and synthetic dyes. Dark blue became a common colour for military uniforms and later, in the late 20th century, for business suits. Because blue has commonly been associated with harmony, it was chosen as the colour of the flags of the United Nations and the European Union.

The colour most commonly associated with harmony, faithfulness, confidence, distance, infinity, the imagination, cold, and sometimes with sadness.

In US and European public opinion polls it is the most popular colour, chosen by almost half of both men and women as their favourite colour. The same surveys also showed that blue was the colour most associated with the masculine, just ahead of black, and was also the colour most associated with intelligence, knowledge, calm and concentration

It’s the color of Judaism.

A blue giant is the largest type of stars. A blue supergiant is even bigger.

Another important factor in the increased prestige of the colour blue in the 12th century was the veneration of the Virgin Mary, and a change in the colours used to depict her clothing because of this, Blue became associated with holiness, humility and virtue.

King Louis IX of France, better known as Saint Louis (1214–1270), became the first king of France to regularly dress in blue. This was copied by other nobles. Paintings of the mythical King Arthur began to show him dressed in blue. The coat of arms of the kings of France became an azure or light blue shield, sprinkled with golden fleur-de-lis or lilies. Blue had come from obscurity to become the royal colour.

Once blue became the colour of the king, it also became the colour of the wealthy and powerful in Europe. In the Middle Ages in France and to some extent in Italy, the dyeing of blue cloth was subject to license from the crown or state. In Italy, the dyeing of blue was assigned to a specific guild, the tintori di guado, and could not be done by anyone else without severe penalty. The wearing of blue implied some dignity and some wealth.

It’s a dualistic color.

In the English language, blue often represents the human emotion of sadness, for example, "He was feeling blue".

Blue can sometimes represent happiness and optimism in popular songs, usually referring to blue skies.

In China, the colour blue is commonly associated with torment, ghosts, and death

Blue mages use worlds, wisdom and rituals to perform their spells.

Their favored form of magic is Conjuration, they sue the blue energy to create portals between interdimensional distances.

Blue energy demands a lot of concentration and focus to use.

The blue mages are often perceived as the stereotypical look of a wizard, long blue robes, pointed hats and astrological motifs.

Many engage in astrology and astronomy but instead of using it for divination they wait for the moment when the stars are right and the barrier between planes is weak to open portals between dimensions.

Blue mages are often down to earth, cool-headed and may use their wits and intelligence to lead others but sometimes can be arrogant and aloof.

Where red mages are sought because they are passionate and intense, blue mages are sought because they are wise, trustworthy and resolute.

Blue mages are usually clam and resolute.

Blue, especially the lighter-to-medium tones or combined with white, is often associated with calmness, kindness of heart and connection with the heavens, making it one of, if not the most common color to convey good.

But blue can also be cold and distant, worried too much about arcane and astral matters to relate to mundane humans.

Evil blue energy is often a favored form of magic of evil chess masters and Aristocrats.

Blue is the color of the chaos god Tzeentch, The Changer of the Ways - God of Change, Sorcery, Fate and Hope.

It’s not concerned with physical realm, being very rare in nature and inexistent in food.

Purple is the color most often associated with royalty, magic, mystery, and piety.
It’s a very spiritual color.

It’s not often seen on nature.

When combined with pink, it is associated with eroticism, femininity, and seduction.

Purple was the color worn by Roman magistrates; it became the imperial color worn by the rulers of the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, and later by Roman Catholic bishops. Similarly in Japan, the color is traditionally associated with the Emperor and aristocracy.

In the West, purple or violet is the color most associated with piety and religious faith.
In AD 1464, shortly after the Muslim conquest of Constantinople, which terminated the supply of Tyrian purple to Roman Catholic Europe, Pope Paul II decreed that cardinals should henceforth wear scarlet instead of purple, the scarlet being dyed with expensive cochineal. Bishops were assigned the color amaranth, being a pale and pinkish purple made then from a less-expensive mixture of indigo and cochineal.

It is the symbolic color worn on Spirit Day, a commemoration that began in 2010 to show support for young people who are bullied because of their sexual orientation. Purple is closely associated with bisexuality, largely in part to the bisexual pride flag which combines pink – representing homosexuality – and blue – representing heterosexuality – to create the bisexual purple. The purple hand is another symbol sometimes used by the LGBT community during parades and demonstrations.
