What is the least magickal colour?

Colour wheel [1]A friend recently posed a similar question1 [2] and various answers were given, but the least magickal colour seems, to me, to be white.

The white of a blank page suggests potential, which is nice, but not magickal.

There has never seemed anything particularly magickal about the “white lighter” side of things either, for that matter. Unattainable mystical aspirations and intangibles don’t strike me as useful. If an objective observer wouldn’t notice anything different, it’s mysticism or spirituality, possibly, but it’s not magick.

Magick is about getting things done, not about what could be. The dirt and splash of every other colour better suggest magickal action than an untainted white.

So, that’s my answer. What do you think is the least magickal colour, and why?

Footnotes:

  1. She asked which was the least mystical colour, but I’m more interested in magick than mysticism, so this is my variation on the question. [back [3]]
