Use of Color

Sight is the most highly developed sense on humans, and color affects mood and feelings. Like candlelight, color speaks to the deep mind. Hence color and its symbolism can be used in magick. Whether you are using candles, yarn, or cloth, use of color can enhance your magick.

Even different shades of color can even have their own nuances. Navy blue and robin egg blue are both blue, but they could have subtle meanings in symbolism.

Below is a fairly standard Wiccan list.
