Orange Aura
Read as appetite for experience and making things. A real wavelength, 590–620 nanometres.
Checked against the visible spectrum
Orange is a real colour of light
A real band between red and yellow, and the sacral chakra — creativity, pleasure, the physical enjoyment of doing things.

Light and dark orange
These two are not symmetrical, and it goes the opposite way to how it looks. Dark orange is the same wavelength with less light — still pure. Light orange is that wavelength plus every other one, because white is all of them. The pale version is the mixed version.
Light orange
Adding white light, which means adding every other wavelength alongside the 590–620 nm band. So a light orange aura is, in physical terms, less purely orange than the standard one — the hue is diluted, not brightened. Read as appetite for experience and making things held more lightly.Dark orange
The identical wavelength at lower intensity — fewer photons, same frequency. Dark orange is therefore the only one of the two that is still purely orange: nothing has been added to it, only removed. Read as starting more than can be finished — the strained version.Questions about the orange aura
What does a orange aura mean?
Appetite for experience and making things. The shadow side is starting more than can be finished.
Is orange a real colour of light?
Yes. It occupies 590–620 nanometres of the visible spectrum — 30 nm out of the roughly 370 the eye can see — so a single frequency of light produces it.
Which chakra is orange?
The Sacral 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 orange aura?
Unanswerable — auras are not counted anywhere. What is countable is interest: 24,520 searches a month, rank 11 of 31.
