This is Your Power Color, According to Your Astrological Sign

by SAMANTHA LEAL

Your sign can say quite a bit about your personality and can also lead you to better design choices. Why? Color affects mood, and if your sign vibes with certain colors, well, shouldn’t you surround yourself with them? Here, your power color according to your sign.

Aries Power Color: Red

It’s no surprise that this fire sign thrives on the color of passion, courage, and excitement. Plus, red is great for stirring up those creative juices. Try adding red accents, like throw pillows or a statement wall.

Taurus Power Color: Green

Not only is it grounded in nature, but green's vivaciousness helps energize Taureans. And it’s the color of wealth—something Taurus signs value highly. Add green houseplants, or go for a lively green in your den.

Gemini Power Color: Yellow

Yellow is bright, cheerful, and energetic—much like a Gemini. Try incorporating yellow touches in areas where you want to be inspired or places of welcome, like the entryway or front door.

Cancer Power Color: Silver

Cancers are ruled by the moon, so it makes sense that ethereal silvers and greys are their power colors. Think metallic grey accents, or go with some grey or metallic furniture. Disco ball decor, anyone?

Leo Power Color: Orange

There’s nothing more head-turning than the color orange, and a bold hue is just what a Leo needs to feel at home. Go for burnt orange in a sofa or other home accents for a look that will both inspire and ground a Leo.

Virgo Power Color: Brown

The subtle hue has traits much like a Virgo's: It's the backbone of any good color scheme, and a true design workhorse. It helps ground Virgo’s overthinking mind, too. Rustic wood accents or a coffee table create a Virgo-approved look.

Libra Power Color: Pink

A serene, pale pink adds just the right amount of femininity to a space. Try using the color in your bedroom, or going for a great accent chair in the hue.

Scorpio Power Color: Black

This intense shade makes complete sense for Scorpio, who loves nothing more than to keep people guessing. And black, while intense, can be used in a myriad of ways that could surprise you.

Sagittarius Power Color: Purple

Purple helps creative and clever Sagittarians think outside of the box. Try using plum and lavender shades in places where you want to work and think—in a reading nook or even in your royal bedroom.

Capricorn Power Color: Charcoal Grey

The strong neutral is practical but makes a statement, much like the Capricorn sign. Try using the shade to create a cozy resting space, or as a statement-making shade for a dining room.

Aquarius Power Color: Blue

As a water bearer, Aquarians bring knowledge to the world, and blue helps calm and center them as their thoughts spiral into a million different directions. Try using blue in the bedroom or laundry room as a calming shade.

Pisces Power Color: Seafoam Green

Pisces—the fish—thrive when surrounded by colors of the sea, which helps them restore their energy. Try using it in the kitchen (a backsplash, maybe?) or in the bathroom.
