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.

LANTERN

Lantern

Attention · Guidance

The Hermit holds a star-lit lantern ahead and a staff in the other hand. Local light shares the scene with an extensive background it does not illuminate completely.

A lantern suggests limited information sufficient for a next step, not all unknowns solved at once. Age and posture do not automatically make its bearer trustworthy or right.

APPEARS IN · PUBLISHED CARD CONTEXTS

The Hermit

The Hermit holds a star-lit lantern ahead and a staff in the other hand. Local light shares the scene with an extensive background it does not illuminate completely. Lantern, staff, and ground distinguish seeing from support. Unlike the sun’s broad brightness, this light belongs to a particular implement.

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