Colors and Their Biblical Meanings

Truly, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Tim. 3:16) and we are to "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Tim. 2:15). Biblical colors are a fundamental building block in the full realization of God's Word. God did not use colors whimsically; He is a God of Perfect Order. Understanding biblical colors will help our studies, and our personal walks with God as we come to understand what God is fully trying to tell us within His Word.

Of course the Bible is full of examples, but I will give you just a few:

The seven colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple.

"And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth." (Gen. 9:9-13)

God promises Atonement, Caution (yet Protection), Joy/Honor, Hope/Prosperity, Grace/The Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of Heaven (Indigo - mixture of Blue and Purple) and Power/Kingship!

Now, go "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Tim. 2:15)
