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.

The sun high in the Fool’s scene accompanies the figure, flower, and mountains. This entry concerns a luminous motif, not a keyword substituted for card XIX.
Light makes objects visible and separates light from shade. Brightness can suggest openness, but seeing is not the same as understanding. Hope cannot replace checking actual conditions.

The FoolThe sun high in the Fool’s scene accompanies the figure, flower, and mountains. This entry concerns a luminous motif, not a keyword substituted for card XIX. In the Fool, sunlight accompanies a departure while an edge remains underfoot. In the Sun card, examine the child, horse, and wall anew. A shared motif does not make the scenes interchangeable.
The SunThe Sun occupies the upper part of this card, above the child and white horse. Read its rays together with the sunflowers and red banner: illumination and open expression belong to this scene, rather than guaranteeing a future outcome.
