What color is consciousness?

Consciousness is blue because…

• “Consciousness is blue because I relate blue to those images of brain cells and synapses that are all blue and stuff.”
• “The heartbeat line when someone is alive is blue.”

Consciousness is white because…

• “When you’re unconscious, you black out, and the opposite of black is white!”
• “It feels like clarity.”
• “Black is unconsciousness, and white is the opposite of black.”
• “The light is on upstairs.”
• “Since black is death or sleep, and in turn an end of consciousness, white would be consciousness and birth.”
• “When we are unconscious we see pitch black, so it would make sense that the colour white would represent being conscious.”
• “Experiencing everything around oneself is basically a combination of everything, and white is all of the wavelengths of light combined. Also, consciousness is life, and life is the opposite of death (which is black), so consciousness is white.”

Consciousness is yellow because…

• “A lightbulb goes off in your mind.”
• “It’s that bright, yellow light, like the sun, which is guiding you in the right direction.”
• “It’s the color of the light in your eyes when you wake up.”

Consciousness is pink because…

• “Brains are pink, and brains are conscious.”
• “Because brains are sometimes represented as pink.”
• “Brains are conscious, and brains are pink.”

Consciousness is grey because…

• “Consciousness is grey because it pretty much makes up our entire awareness and mental existence—in other words, everything, so every color. Every color mixed together is grey. (With light anyway, and pure colors±with paint it’s brown.) But consciousness is pure, so it’s grey.”
