Color Your Religion

[SalixIncendium]

If you had to pick a color for your religion, what would it be? Why?


Mine is, of course, saffron. In my understanding it's considered in Hinduism to be an austere color associated with sunrise and sunset they cycle of rebirth, fire, health, courage, and sacrifice.

For me personally, I just find a sense of pleasantness, calm, peace, and serenity in the color.

Saffron is a nice colour. And the title of a nice little song by Donovan.

Catholic and Anglican priests vestments alter with the liturgical calendar, from green to white to purple mostly, and sometimes red or black on days commemorating pain or mourning. So I’d go with a rainbow for Christianity

I've always had a strong attachment to deep blues and have kind of felt that path I'm on relates to that in a variety of ways. Other than that considering I do a lot of Hindu and Buddhist practices in terms of meditation and Bhakti I suppose saffron would be a close second. That and it looks really pretty when next to the deep blues.

The first color that came to my mind for my religion was red because of the cross.

Grey, so I can look like a monk without changing anything.

Forest greens, and olives. With maybe a touch of ochre red.

Sand.

Lol.

emerald green because it is the center of the spectrum and represents the heart chakra

 

[JustGeorge]

Every tone of brilliant color, from the deepest blacks to the purest whites, complimented heavily and most notably by every shade in between.

Let me also tell you the another importance of Saffron colour.

- Saffron is also the colour of caramelized suger. Caramelizing sugar is a term most often applied to melting sugar until it becomes a caramel colour liquid.

- Saffron is also the colour of some ripe fruits.

- Saffron is also the colour of Kundan. Gold turns into Kundan when heated to certain extent.

Similarly, onto the path of spiritualism — there comes a stage when the colour of soul get caramelised/Saffron.

For Utilitarianism, I think I would pick forest green. Green is associated with fertility, abundance, and nature which makes its symbolism overlap with the naturalism of Utilitarianism and its goals to promote the thriving of life. It would also serve to de-stigmatize Utilitarianism as a cold and callous philosophy when many Utilitarians are quite warm and compassionate. (Not me, though, I fit the stereotype.)

Another possible color could be blue. In the West, where Utilitarianism originates, we frequently have a defensive "blue" team and an offensive "red" team in a variety of contexts. Blue has come to symbolize cooperation to contrast red's association with competition. I think it makes sense for a philosophy that emphasizes the greater good for the whole of humanity. Blue has also come to symbolize the working class, which is responsible for a large portion of society's Utility.

I slightly disfavor blue because there is no particular shade of blue that I can think of that would have stronger Utilitarian implications. Perhaps "Liberty blue" due to the emphasis that John Stuart Mill placed on the importance of liberty in his foundational works on Utilitarianism.

 

[Revoltingest]

Transparent.

 

[Vinidra]

I think a sort of soft blue would work for me. I know red is usually associated with Shaktism, but I say blue because I find my religion to be very calming for me as a person, just like blue generally is.

 

[syo]

All colors.

 

[GardenLady]

Mood ring color. Changes all the time.
