   Purple Purple is the Sagittarius’ luckiest and most powerful color. The rich and regal shade has long symbolized royalty, so it’s not surprising that the color also represents Sagittarius. A Sagittarius possesses traits like strength and optimism, both of which are essential qualities in a great leader.

   • Sagittarius also enjoys thinking deeply and exploring the many mysteries of the world, which are pastimes reflected by purple’s symbolic connection to wisdom, creativity, and spirituality.
   • Purple also represents abundance. Relatedly, Sagittarius is ruled over by Jupiter, which is also known as the planet of abundance.
   • The uniqueness of purple as a color also reflects the special personality of an open-minded and adventurous Sag.

   Orange Fiery orange represents the passion, enthusiasm, and courage that Sagittarius channels in their everyday life. These bold orange hues match the bold personality of a Sagittarius. Orange also helps the fire sign embrace change and adapt to new situations, which is essential for the constant adventures that they find themselves on.

   Yellow The joyful and positive yellow color matches Sagittarius’ bright and energetic disposition. After all, Sagittarius is considered one of the happiest signs in the Zodiac. Along with reflecting their optimistic and enthusiastic approach to life, yellow helps lift a Sagittarian’s spirits and encourages more creativity and resourcefulness.

   • However, yellow also reflects some of the more negative qualities of the Sagittarius, such as the tendency toward irresponsibility.
   • Sagittariuses are generally very motivated and hardworking, but they may let their duties slip from time to time—which is a strong symbol of yellow.

   Pink Playful pinks are an effervescently joyful color, which is well-reflected in the always kind and lighthearted Sagittarius. Pink also represents open-mindedness and idealism, which the Sagittarius carries with them in every aspect of their lives. A Sagittarius can’t help feeling reinvigorated and enthusiastic about life when they lay eyes on a pinky hue!

   Teal This calming blend of blue and green symbolizes peace and tranquility. As a secondary color of the Sagittarius sign, teal reflects the Archer’s adventurous and optimistic spirit. Being surrounded by teal makes Sagittarius feel like they could be under a big open sky, traversing through a green forest, or sailing across smooth blue waters.

   • By channeling teal’s assured and gentle energies, a Sagittarius may also begin to think more clearly and talk more confidently about their ideals.
   • Teal may also help Sagittarius build harmonious relationships and connections with others.

   A Sagittarius color palette combines vivid purples, yellows, oranges, and pinks. While each of these colors has its own special meaning for Sagittarians, together, they create an especially powerful source of Archer energy.

   • This color palette also resembles a beautiful sunset when blended, reflecting Sagittarius’ love for exploration and exciting adventures.

Colors to Avoid for Sagittarius

1. 
   1
   Black The darkness of black makes it a stark contrast to Sagittarius’ effervescent cheerfulness. Black seems dull and overly professional on a Sag, and it may even alter their positive mood and bring out their worst traits. A Sagittarius should stay away from black as much as possible in their clothing and home decor.
2. 
   2
   Gray While gray has positive symbolisms like reliability and security, these qualities don’t translate to Sagittarius. Someone who’s a Sagittarius is likely not the most dependable person—they crave freedom, independence, and adventure. As a result, gray may make a Sag feel too constricted and suffocated.
3. 
   3
   Green Green is thought to symbolize money and growth. Sagittariuses live their life with little thought of financial success or savings—they’re more concerned with taking risks and living in the now. However, while green doesn’t naturally resonate with the Sagittarius, they may want to wear it from time to time to remind themselves of the importance of financial stability.
4. 
   4
   Brown Earthy brown tones may make the free-spirited Sagittarius feel too grounded. Sagittarius loves to keep their mind open and constantly embrace new opportunities, often dropping everything to seek adventure on a whim. They should choose colors that reflect their optimistic and adventurous nature, which don’t include brown!
