The hertz vibration on the planet is rising, as well as everything on, in and around it. We are now able to perceive new colors that we have not seen before. Notice the light as it reflects off the bark and leaves of trees and the soil... notice the color of the sky. Colors are becoming richer, deeper, and many new colors are making themselves available to our perception. What are these colors and what do they mean? Some of these are the in-between colors or the paler colors of the rainbow spectrum and they offer us a deeper understanding of ourselves.


The new colors are really not so new. They are the "in between" colors and the paler colors of the rainbow palette.
The "in-between" colors are those colors between the rainbow colors of the Chakras. The "in between" colors give to us the nuances of realities beyond our 3-dimensional knowing. They show us that so much more exists than our everyday reality. By meditating and wearing these colors, you may find the "in betweens" of yourself.
The paler colors are the colors we know but with more light in them. It's as if a spotlight has been shown on color so that more of that particular color speaks in our life. It is color with intensity. Often what is hidden in the paler colors is an experience of unshed tears and suffering.

DEEP MAGENTA
DEEP MAGENTA stirs our soul. It is an invitation to look at the shadow side of ourselves. It is the shadow/dark side of ourselves that exists within us, but which we refuse to see. It represents the unconsious and subconscious within us. It is where the light does not seem to exist, but in fact, light does exist in the dark. We just don't see it. Question: How would we recognize the dark without the light? DEEP MAGENTA lives in the void, the bardo state between death and life.
