TAROVERIE / COLORS

Tarot colors

Color is one part of a card’s visual language. Find the color first, then read the object, gesture and surrounding scene.

These nine entries compare colors in the Rider–Waite–Smith deck. Associations vary by deck, tradition and printing; a color alone is not a prediction.

Distinction · Responsibility

A hand holds the Ace’s upright sword through a crown-like form, with foliage hanging beside it. A clear vertical line coexists with the implement’s sharpness.

A sword may suggest distinction and expression while reminding us that judgement affects others. Sharpness is not correctness, and direct speech still requires checking and revision.

Ace of Swords

A hand holds the Ace’s upright sword through a crown-like form, with foliage hanging beside it. A clear vertical line coexists with the implement’s sharpness. Justice pairs sword with scales; the Two holds crossed swords. Hands, number, and accompanying objects change the scene. Not every sword means conflict.

Hotspots come from this published card; never transplanted onto another deck.
