Luscher Colour

The Luscher colour method, which was created by Max Luscher, uses pairs of colours to reference the Bach Flower essences. Max Luscher’s first book was printed in 1971 and is a valuable text to have as a resource to better understand this system.

There are eight colours that are selected in pairs, and placed orders for different feedback.

Luscher Colour Overview:

0. Grey	neutral, neither objective nor subjective.
1. Blue	represents calm, tranquility, balance & peace.
2. Green	elastic tension, firmness, perseverance, tenacity.
3. Red	expression of vital force, desire, appetite, success.
4. Yellow	stimulating, reflective, uninhibited expansiveness, warmth.
5. Violet	unification of the polarities of conquest vs. surrender, mystic union.
6. Brown	physical condition, sensuous, illness, sense of roots.
7. Black	negative colour, nothingness, extinction.

Activation/Context:

Have the client think of goal/issue and pick two colours in order using Luscher Colour Chart (next page).

This can be done using muscle monitoring or by having the client choose two colours.

Discuss the psychology of the colours (refer to Luscher Colour combinations chart).
