Hi
Why are your suits not the 'usual' colours?
Great question! There were a few different contributing forces.
To begin with, I've never been satisfied with the traditional color arrangements. They've never seemed to match the character of the elements either in their elemental form, or in terms of the effect they over our everyday lives. From the beginning I was looking for something that resonated better.
For a long time, I worked with a somewhat traditional palette, leaning towards the pastel to bring them in closer harmony with the character of the seasons. I had ochre, olive, mauve, and steel. I tweaked colors for months, but was ultimately unsatisfied.
And then one day I found these four colors, and they just worked. Red, blue, yellow, and green. Red for the root chakra and the needs of the physical body, blue for the throat chakra and our communion within ourselves and social groups, yellow for the solar plexus at the seat of our power, and green for the heartmind at our meditative center. Put differently—red for the clay of the earth, blue for the waters of the sea, yellow for the fires of the sun, and green for the wind through the grass and the trees.
