Dark Aura Colors: Depth, Intensity and Inner Reflection

Aura traditions give dark shades a rich range of associations. Deep colors can evoke intensity, inward attention, mystery or a period of change. Looking at the tone alongside the rest of an image opens a more interesting conversation than treating every dark shade as the same story.
