Why another chart may use different colours

Colour associations vary between interpreters. Unlike adding a date, selecting a colour does not follow a single deterministic calculation. These swatches were chosen to work with this site’s restrained paper-and-ink palette.

  • A different reference can assign another colour to the same number.
  • Screens, printing and lighting change the appearance.
  • You can give priority to a colour you enjoy and can use comfortably.

Try a colour without changing everything

  1. Choose your number’s colour and one you already like.
  2. Try them on a small area, such as a notebook heading or an object.
  3. Compare them in ordinary light and keep the combination you enjoy.

A palette is not a financial forecast

The palette provides no basis for predicting income or lottery results. There is no need to replace a possession. Use the swatches with things you already own or when choosing colours for a creative project.
