Understanding Your Life Through Color - Turquoise (Blue)


All About Turquoise (Blue)

The color Turquoise is the brilliant, yet calming color found within the convergence of green and blue.  A combination of blue and a small amount of yellow, turquoise fits in on the color scale between green and blue. It radiates the peace, calm and tranquility of blue and the balance and growth of green with the uplifting energy of yellow.   It is a color that promotes higher emotional communication, self awareness, and initiative.


As the color is so similar to the color of the ocean, it is also referred to as aqua or aquamarine.  These shades are strongly evocative of the ocean on a clear day especially that of the lovely warm tropical Island seas. This family of colors is a color of mystics and telepathy.  It is a symbol of the heavens and of the sea, of fluid movement and mutability.

Turquoise is the symbol of youth, both the color and the gemstone.  Turquoise is the color of communication.  It contains the growth quality of green with the blue quality of communication. Turquoise has long been used in amulets to provide protection, health, confidence and strength.


Turquoise recharges our spirits during times of mental stress and tiredness, alleviating feelings of loneliness. You only have to focus on the color turquoise, whether on a wall or clothing and you feel instant calm and gentle invigoration, ready to face the world again.

Turquoise is a great color to have around you, particularly in an emergency, as it helps with clear thinking and decision-making. It assists in the development of organizational and management skills. It influences rather than preaching and demanding.


The color turquoise is a good color to aid concentration and clarity of thought for public speakers as it calms the nervous system, gives control over speech and expression, and builds confidence.

Turquoise heightens levels of creativity and sensitivity. It is good at multi-tasking, becoming bored if forced to focus on one thing only. Sometimes its thinking can become scattered if surrounded by too much of this balancing color.  This color has more to do with feeling and creative expression than with rational thought.

Turquoise can also be self-centered, tuning in to its own needs above all others. At the same time, it can help us to build our self-esteem and to love ourselves, which in turn supports our ability to love others unconditionally. At its most extreme it can be boastful and narcissistic.  Although turquoise is self-sufficient, it fears being alone and can become aloof and unapproachable when this occurs, making the situation worse.


Turquoise has strong powers of observation and perception and can be quite discriminating. It has the ability to identify the way forward, the way to success, balancing the pros and cons, the right and wrong, of any situation. It is a good color to use when you are stuck in a rut and don't know which way to move.

Turquoise in History

The Mayan and Incan cultures revered the color Turquoise and mined the stone for use in their ceremonial garb and temples. Both cultures are believed to be descendants of the lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria, each of which supposedly had highly advanced technologies, therefore the Silicon Age (Silicon Valley) has also been identified to the color Turquoise.

These colors are associated both with ancient and ethnic artistry and with the cutting edge modern techno artistry.  From the mosaics of the ancient world, the aqua clay paint accents  of Northwest Native American works  to the rather kitschy "modern " of the fifties, such as cone-shaped  plastic chairs and lava lamps, these shades have been used in a startling range of ways.
