Chromotherapy proposes that each color has a distinct wavelength and vibration that influences mood, attention, and energy. Visible light spans roughly 380 nm to 750 nm; longer wavelengths are generally stimulating, while shorter wavelengths are often calming.

  • Red (620-750 nm): energy, courage, activation
  • Orange-Yellow (570-620 nm): creativity, positivity, intellect
  • Green (495-570 nm): balance, healing, harmony
  • Blue-Indigo-Violet (380-495 nm): calmness, intuition, meditation
