Information about Mood Ring Colors

What do the colors of a mood ring indicate? Each of our chemical make-ups are unique to us so it stands to reason that a mood ring color chart will not fit everyone, no more than a particular symbol in a dream will mean the same to everyone.

Seek inner guidance as well when discerning what the mood ring colors mean for you. HealthyNewAge.com is pleased to share this fun information about mood rings and also find some well liked new age gifts.

Mood Ring Color Chart

You've seen them. Maybe you have one. They're called Mood Rings and they change color, according to the emotional state of the wearer. The theory is that the sets in these mood rings change due to your moods. Whether or not that is true, they are fun. Below are some generally accepted interpretations of what some common colors would represent. In other words, if you were wearing your mood ring and it turned yellow, it might indicate that your mood is imaginative or creative in some way. From a chakra point of view, yellow corresponds to the third chakra energies so perhaps it could also indicate a time when you are in some sort of ego, or personality self, struggle or a time when you are really busy putting on a particular mask for someone.

Of course, by watching your own moods and checking to see what color your ring turns, you can begin to develop your own chart and I venture to say it may be totally different than the general guidelines below. Each of our chemical make-ups are unique to us so it stands to reason that a mood ring color chart will not fit everyone, no more than a particular symbol in a dream will mean the same to everyone.

General Mood Ring Color Indications:
  • Black is usually associated with negativity but in my own spiritual path, I find it also relates to any time that the Feminine Divine Energies are present. Some attributes of a black mood ring color that are negative would be if you were overworked, nervous about something, physically under par, etc. Be your own best judge. If it turns black during a time when you are feeling extraordinarily connected, benevolent and aware, then I'd say that's the Divine Feminine influence and certainly not negative.
  • Red is the color of passion and of anger. It can also represent energized action, an adventuresome spirit or major excitement over something that is happening or about to happen in your life.
  • Yellow is the color associated with mental processes, and with the ego self, or personality self as it is sometimes called. Yellow could occur when studying for a test, thinking hard about a problem or struggling with insecurity and/or puffed up pride.
  • Green is the color of living plants and is often associated with growth. Green is the color of the heart chakra. A green shade to your mood ring might indicate a healing time, a feeling of love, etc. It is generally considered the "average" color for a mood ring.
  • Blue is generally regarding as indicating a relaxed mood, someone who is at ease. As blue is also the color associated with the throat chakra, this shade may appear at a time when you are vocally struggling or vocally asserting yourself.
  • White is typically associated with feelings of being frustrated, confused or bored but, in my experience, white is also a color that can indicate very high spiritual energies so if you are not frustrated, confused or bored, don't let the mood ring tell you that it is a negative expression: it could be crown chakra energies expanding or integrating at a spiritual level.
  • Other colors generally described are pink (fear, or in cases where spiritual acceleration of the heart chakra are evident, pink can indicate the opening of the spiritual heart chakra center), purple (sensuality), orange (a state of wanting something), etc.

In general, each color has both a negative and positive interpretation. Be sure you tune in, internally, before deciding which one is correct for you. Of course, the more you tune in, internally, the less you will need an external read from a mood ring or any other spiritual tool. Then, the ring will have served it's purpose for you, as a training tool.

Every chart is slightly different in the definitions. Best advice I could give would be to watch your own moods as the ring changes. That way you will know what the colors mean for you.

Jewelry & Mood Rings

Color and Moods: Associating colors with moods is an interesting idea. There have been studies that indicated people are more relaxed around certain colors and more agitated around others. Everyone has favorite colors and colors they just don't like. My favorites are teal, purple and pastels, in general.

There is a pervasive idea that the color red will excite a bull, hence the use of a bright red cape in bullfights, but that hasn't been proven. Still, red is an invigorating, agitating color while green is considered healing and blue peaceful. What do your favorite colors say about you?

What is the point of a mood ring color chart?

Hi, Jasmine. The theory behind color charts that coincide with mood rings is that they can provide hints regarding your internal emotional state. For example, if the mood ring turns red, it would mean the wearer is excited, energized, and adventurous.

What if you get multiple colors at once. Sometimes I have brown, blue, green, and purple all at the same time. Is it alter egos or something?

I love mood rings. They really do work. Jasmine, what else do you think the colors do? Just so it looks pretty. Goodness, I thought everyone knew what the colors were for (hint: the name "mood ring, haha.)

Hey, My mood ring is a liter blue than the usual blue on it and it has some yellow and purple in it too. What's that all about? Am I going to die?

Hi, Julia. Aren't we all going to die eventually? ;-) If your mood ring doesn't display a pirate's skull and crossbones, you're probably OK.

Hey, I just bought this new mood ring and it never changes color. Am I always in the same mood or is my mood ring just broken?

From Wikipedia.org on Mood Rings: The "stone" in a mood ring is, essentially, thermotropic crystals covered or surrounded by glass. These crystals are very sensitive, and of the ring, and "twists" the crystals inside. The crystals then reflect different wavelengths of light, thereby changing the color of the ring. When people go under stress, their surface body temperature drops. This is represented in the mood ring's color phasing from the neutral green to amber, to grey, to black. Conversely, a passionate mood causes one's capillaries to move closer to the surface, raising surface temperature. This is rendered in the mood ring by the color moving toward blue-green, blue, and then a darkened blue.

I agree with all the others on the multiple colors. Do you just choose the one with the most color?

Nice article, thanks. Recently i spoke with one of my friends and somehow we started to speak about mood in colors.. i felt like green mixed with yellow and red dots. He told me that he feels silver most of the time. And i think about it and try to understand, or grasp the mood, but i cannot. Silver mood is just beyond my understanding. What could it mean?

I have a mood lighter cover so you have to grip onto it with your hand before it changes colors. Have you ever heard of them? Could you please inform me of what the colors mean. Thank you very much

What does purple mean on a mood ring? What color would it be if I was annoyed, and what does yellow mean?

 
By Debbie Birkholz

Hi, Elizabeth. The color purple suggests clear thought and sensuality. The colors most likely to be present when you are annoyed are black or grey depending on the degree of annoyance. Yellow suggests imagination.

What does it mean if the color of your mood ring changes to a very, very, dark blue, almost black? It takes a normal amount of time to change to that color but then changes to a different color very fast. It's duration varies. It usually changes to a blue-green color. Please tell me what this means, if you can. Thanks.

Blaze, blue-green is turquoise. Turquoise means love, or a strong feeling of spirit.

Hey guy a mood ring changes because of the heat of your skin. It's nothing else, because when I put mine under cold water it turned brown, and I put it under hot water it turned dark blue. It changes with the heat of your skin, so that's why I don't believe it. But they are still beautiful rings. I still wear them.

Hi Coco Yes, mood rings are effected by temperature, and placing a ring in hot or cold water will also get results. I really resonated with Kirk's post above and felt it does an excellent job at explaining how our skin temperature can also change a ring just as cold and warm water will, and goes on to explain how this result can reflect what is going on with our moods and emotions.

Very good information. Do the mood ring's colors have the same meaning as the necklace?

Hi Vero, Yes, the ring and the necklace both work in the same way.

I haven't used my mood ring for a while. Will it still work?

Miranda, I am pretty sure that it will still work no matter how old it is. Then again if yours is damaged or something, I have no idea if it will or not.

What color is love? And, whenever I take my ring off, it turns blue-ish green-ish. Why is that?

 
By Erica

My ring only stays one color really, and I don't know if its damaged. The ring doesn't really change that much on me. Does it mean that I'm in the same mood all the time, and I don't change emotionally?

As a matter of fact, I have a mood ring on right now. In the morning, I was afraid because it was staying black for long periods of time, but I guess that was just because I had recently woken up, but now it is a deep blue and purple, with a hint of green. You know what that means? If you do, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi, I believe that if you get multiple colors at once, then that means that you are in a mixture of moods, hope that helped you.

They do work, but they change color depending on the temperature of your body. I like them. They are pretty cool. But they don't depend on your mood.

Hey, I love mood rings. I have a mood necklace that is heart shaped, and I got it from my boyfriend. It is beautiful.

I love mood rings too. Your article is great, very informative and well said. I have a mood ring, and it has 3 different colors. There are two stars and one moon. Sometimes the smaller star is the same color as the moon, but sometimes they're all different. The stars could be orange and pink and the moon would be purple. So, what does this mean? My mood ring usually has three different colors. I have three different mood combinations or something. My ring changes color a lot. First it's blue then later, it would be purple. It's usually purple, dark blue or green. When I'm outside in the cold it turns black and one star tuns red. I think it's only because of the temperature outside. Also, I was excited at the same time. It's pretty cool though.

Hi I have a mood ring with stars in the ring. They don't all show the same thing. One is light blue and another one is dark blue. Why are they not all the same?

 
By Stephanie
2008-05-12 09:05:05
 

Louisha, the different colored stars might mean you have different moods at the time. I thought that purple was the color for love. At least that is what my itty bitty card that came with it said.

I am wearing a mood ring right now, and I am very sad right now, but it shows no color of sadness? Is my mood ring a fake?

Just got my first mood ring from a friend, love it. I am going to wear it always, and for ever. They are just so cool, and the only ring that has some use. Thanks for your info, it helped a lot.

I like my mood ring, but mine is constantly changing colors. I go through almost every color when I wear it, is that a bad thing? Oh and the info is useful, but not what I am looking for. Thank you, I love my mood ring.
