Colour for your Zodiac sign!

Aries 

Deep blood red is associated with Aries. It symbolizes passion and dares to stop the world on its tracks. People belonging to this star sign also need something to calm them down. White and pink help them to calm down, but it’s best to avoid black. In general, rust, saffron, golden yellow and mustard are the colours that will instantly appeal to an Aries person.
Tip: Wear red every Tuesday.

Taurus 

Pink, cream, black and white really suit your temperament. Avoid wearing red as it affects you negatively, but you can opt for maroon. Sky blue and earthy colours like khaki, brown and beige also appeal to you.

Tip: Wear pink every Friday.

Gemini

You love the colour green, as it symbolizes growth, rejuvenation and creativity. Other colours that work for you are black, white, pink and red.
Tip: Wear green every Wednesday.

Cancer 

Blue, white and sea green work for you, while yellow is auspicious for success. Red can help you perk up when you are down, but is avoidable as it can also have a turbulent effect on your emotions. Sea green is very good for work wear. Avoid black as it brings gloom.
Tip: Wear white, sea green, or light blue every Monday.

Leo 

The colour orange suits you well. Wearing it will add to the charisma and magnetic aura of your personality. Other colours that appeal to you are purple, red and gold. Pale and pastel shades do not go well with your temperament.
Tip: Wear orange or gold every Sunday.

Virgo 

Pastel and pale shades of all colours — from peach and mauve to light blue and light pink — appeal to you. Colours like moss green, bottle green and green mixed with black are rejuvenating and in harmony with the Virgo temperament.
Tip: Wear your shade of green every Wednesday.

Libra:

Blue is apt for you, as it symbolises balance and harmony in all spheres of life. White, pink and black also suit you.
Tip: Wear cream or off-white every Friday.

Scorpio:

Scarlet color captures the mystic aura of this sign. Shades of purple, maroon, bottle green and red with a shade of black appeal to you. Pale shades and pastel colours are not for you.
Tip: Wear maroon or deep red every Tuesday.

Sagittarius:

You love orange, red, yellow and canary yellow. Yellows and blues are the best colours for you. At times, white can soothe and relax too. Black, though appealing, does not have a very positive influence.
Tip: Wear yellow every Thursday.

Capricorn:

Capricorns prefer earthy shades like brown and khaki. They don’t wear red very often, but are partial to the shade. White compliments them and black-and-white combinations are all-time favourites.
Tip: Wear black every Saturday.

Aquarius:

Violets and other psychedelic colours appeal to them. They love unconventional shades.
Tip: Wear violet or navy blue every Saturday.

Pisces:

Yellow really does wonders for them. Bright and violent shades are jarring to the delicate sensibilities of an evolved Piscean. White is an all-time favourite. The colour that does not go well with the Piscean mood is green.
Tip: Wear pale yellow every Thursday.
