The most searched aura colour by a wide margin, and one of the few that is both a real wavelength and a chakra colour. Read as calm and articulate — someone whose first instinct in trouble is to explain rather than act.

Light and dark blue
These two are not symmetrical, and it goes the opposite way to how it looks. Dark blue is the same wavelength with less light — still pure. Light blue is that wavelength plus every other one, because white is all of them. The pale version is the mixed version.
Light blue
Adding white light, which means adding every other wavelength alongside the 450–495 nm band. So a light blue aura is, in physical terms, less purely blue than the standard one — the hue is diluted, not brightened. Read as communication and the wish to be understood accurately held more lightly.Dark blue
The identical wavelength at lower intensity — fewer photons, same frequency. Dark blue is therefore the only one of the two that is still purely blue: nothing has been added to it, only removed. Read as talking as a way of not deciding — the strained version.Questions about the blue aura
What does a blue aura mean?
Communication and the wish to be understood accurately. The shadow side is talking as a way of not deciding.
Is blue a real colour of light?
Yes. It occupies 450–495 nanometres of the visible spectrum — 45 nm out of the roughly 370 the eye can see — so a single frequency of light produces it.
Which chakra is blue?
The Throat chakra. Only 8 of the 31 colours people search for as auras map onto a chakra at all — the system covers seven positions, not the whole palette.
How rare is a blue aura?
Unanswerable — auras are not counted anywhere. What is countable is interest: 114,980 searches a month, rank 1 of 31.
