We know that we, the Umbanda, we deal with all the colors in a special way, different from other religions . Colors have great importance in our rituals.
We found the use of colors on the tabs, the clothes, the sails and lines of Umbanda.
For each of the lines (see: Orishas ) there is a corresponding color:

• White .................: Hopefully, Black-Old and souls.
• Blue ....................: Yemanja
• Brown ...............: Xango
• Green ..................: Oxossi
• Yellow ..............: Iansã
• Red ............: Ogun
• Rose ...................: Ibejis, children
• Purple ...................: Nana, Eguns
• White and Black ......: Omulu, Black-Old
• Black and Red.: Exús

But after all, what is the importance of colors for the man?
How colors act in the body and the mood of the people?
We all know that since man appeared on earth, the sun's rays fed him and kept him warm and the color of flora and fauna were relevant to determine your mood and temperament.
The science that uses different colors to change or maintain the vibration frequency of the body that results in health, wellness and harmony is called Chromotherapy or Colorterapia.
        C romoterapia is the use of cosmic radiation (cosmic energy) - which is externalized by the solar spectrum in different colors we know - in therapeutic function of balance and health, as a result of being too fruit of that radiation both in our physical nature -EQUIPMENT as energy-subtle or spiritual.

P bond subtle side, the chakras , which are wheels of light and color in motion:

• make abstraction of higher or cosmic energies and transmute into a form usable by the human structure; and
• thus supporting the energy, vitalizing and enhancing our life force .
