Colour Remedies were developed by Ambika Wauters, whose work explored the therapeutic use of colour and light as a subtle form of support for emotional and energetic balance. Her approach is practical and non-invasive, based on the understanding that colour influences how we feel, respond, and regulate ourselves.

These remedies are made by infusing water with specific colours using light, then potentising them in a way similar to other vibrational remedies. Each colour carries its own frequency and is associated with different emotional and mental themes. Rather than targeting physical symptoms directly, Colour Remedies support the system as a whole, encouraging balance to return naturally.

How Colour Remedies Work

Colour Remedies do not work through chemistry or stimulation. Instead, they act through gentle resonance, offering support across emotional, mental, and energetic levels.

Because they are subtle and non-demanding, they can be used alongside other holistic supports such as tissue salts, flower essences, or homeopathy. They are also well suited to people who feel sensitive, overwhelmed, or simply want a straightforward way to support wellbeing without adding complexity to their routine.

A Spectrum of Support: The Core Colour Remedies

Each colour offers a different type of support. Some people choose a colour intuitively, while others select one that matches how they are feeling at the time.

Red — Grounding & Vitality

Red supports stability, safety, and physical vitality.
It can be helpful when you feel depleted, disconnected, or ungrounded, bringing energy back into the body and supporting a sense of steadiness.

Orange — Joy, Flow & Creativity

Orange supports emotional movement and creative expression.
It is useful when energy feels stuck or when enthusiasm and enjoyment feel reduced, gently encouraging flow and warmth.

Yellow — Confidence & Clarity

Yellow supports clarity, confidence, and personal direction.
It can help when decision-making feels difficult or when doubt and mental overwhelm interfere with focus.

Green — Emotional Balance & Peace

Green supports emotional balance and calm.
It is often chosen during periods of stress, grief, or emotional transition, helping restore equilibrium and ease.

Turquoise — Expression & Truth

Turquoise supports clear communication and self-expression.
It can be useful when it’s hard to speak openly, express needs, or put thoughts into words.

Indigo Blue — Insight & Stillness

Indigo supports mental quiet and inner awareness.
It is helpful when the mind feels busy, overstimulated, or restless, encouraging clarity and focus.

Violet — Spiritual Connection & Serenity

Violet supports perspective, calm, and inner stillness.
It can be helpful during periods of reflection, fatigue, or when life feels mentally or emotionally demanding.

Pink — Unconditional Love & Softening

Pink supports emotional gentleness and self-acceptance.
It can be helpful when emotions feel strained, tender, or self-critical, encouraging softness and emotional ease.

Spectrum — Whole Energy Alignment

Spectrum supports balance across the entire system.
It is useful when it’s unclear where imbalance lies or when multiple areas feel affected, gently encouraging overall harmony.

This system of Colour Remedies is based on the work of Ambika Wauters, whose approach focuses on using colour and light as supportive tools rather than forcing change.

How to Use Colour Remedies

One of the main benefits of Colour Remedies is their simplicity. They do not require strict timing or complicated protocols.

They are commonly taken as a few drops under the tongue or in a glass of water, once or twice daily. They can also be taken as needed during stressful moments, emotional strain, or periods of transition.

As with any form of energetic or holistic support, it’s important to work with a trusted practitioner who can guide you appropriately.

A Practical, Gentle Support

Colour Remedies are not about fixing problems or forcing outcomes. They are about offering support — helping the system settle, recalibrate, and find its own balance again.

They fit easily into daily life and sit comfortably alongside other holistic approaches. For those looking for something simple, low-pressure, and supportive, Colour Remedies offer an accessible place to begin.
