The Symbolic Meaning of the Color Grey

The color grey is a Feminine Lunar Symbol. It represents the exact middle of the scale between the colors black and white. As a result, it is neutral  and does not bear the symbolic qualities of either of those colors.

Grey is a Lunar symbol because it bears some of the qualities of the moon. As I have explained previously, the moon comes and goes with regularity. It is symbolic of that which is hidden, has yet to be revealed and will be revealed. Grey represents the veil that obscures what will eventually be revealed. The veil that obscures can also be in the form a fog or a mist. We know that a mist or fog will eventually be lifted.

Grey is an unemotional color. It is detached, neutral, impartial and indecisive . It is symbolic of depression and apathy. Grey is also symbolic of the fence-sitter who must eventually step down onto one side of the fence or the other. It also represents the absence of activity or change.

When I see grey in a psychic vision for a client during a psychic session it can have quite a few interpretations. If I see a person in grey I know that they are either depressed, lost, indecisive or neutral. They may also be wiling to compromise if that is in question during the psychic session. And the person could be unwilling to take any action even if it my client needs them to do so.

Very rarely, the color grey or a grey mist can mean that the spirit guides who are present during the psychic reading are not willing to give us the information we are asking for. They do this for a reason and the color tells me that they will divulge the information in good time. Most times, it comes up later in the reading when it makes more sense to my client and myself. And sometimes my guides are trying to protect my client from something that they are not ready to hear.

This brings us to the end of the symbolic meaning of colors. I hope you found this informative! Check back soon for more metaphysical posts.
