Various schools of thought in the New Age as well as in the past century have prescribed their colors for the chakras. throat chakra (vishuddha), heart chakra (anahata), solar plexus chakra (manipura), seat-of-the-soul chakra (svadhishthana), and base of the spine chakra (muladhara).
People have asked Elizabeth Clare Prophet why her colors differ from some of these.
Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Chakra Colors
The chakra colors we show are the colors released from the Ascended Masters as they should appear in the purified etheric body, the highest vibrating of the four lower bodies and the natural envelope of the soul.
Some clairvoyants who have given their version of the colors have read the relative condition of the chakras in the astral, untransmuted or unpurified, state of the human consciousness, which creates this discrepancy.
The chart of the chakra man shows the color (frequency) of the light which each of the chakras should be emitting when it is purified and balanced in the plus and minus factors, the yang and the yin of the whirling T’ai Chi.
