Red - Sacrifice, mercy, life. Christ is the Lamb of God .
Yellow - Character, fruit. The work of the Holy Spirit is to bear the fruits of God in us - of these the greatest is to love. Our character is described as "gold tried in the fire"
Green - King, kingdom of God. Combines the work of law in relation to love.
Blue - Law. The Father sits on the sapphire throne from which the stones for the law were taken
Orange - Comforter, teacher, companion. Combines the work of Love in relation to the merits of the sacrifice as a Healer and Restorer and Teacher of righteousness
Purple - Priest, defender, lawyer Combines the work of sacrifice in relation to the breaking of the law
White - Righteousness. Love. Perfection of all characters and principles before God. Knowledge of God.
Black - Sin, evil. The absence of the light of God. Separation from God.
The primary colors appear to represent the core attributes or character of God.
The secondary colors appear to represent the roles of God as He seeks to reconcile one character to another within us.
The colors black and white, represent the status of man as we reject or accept the colors of God.
Just as He uses numbers prophetically and symbolically, God uses colors symbolically in the sanctuary, its services and in the prophecies.
The Bible teaches that it is valid to look at nature to learn about God. And it also teaches that everyone has some internal knowledge of God that is convincing and they also have "a measure of faith" (Romans 12: 3). For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
Romans 1: 19-20 Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. And according to the Psalms. (Psalm 19: 1-2) The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.
So if we stick to the Orange Effect for God, we are looking at combination of Red and Yellow, which makes up Orange. The symbolism we can see are the flames of the Holy Spirit. Gold tends to be part of this color scheme. God wants our characters to come out 'like Gold tried in the fire'.
As Witness and Comforter on earth, the Holy Spirit has the task of making us perfect. Because of the sacrifice of Christ, he can now change our character and reconcile us to God. He sustains or comforts the saints as we wait for our deliverance. He provides the daily link we need to heaven. Because of this role in daily leading us to God, He can switch to being a witness for or against us in the future - because everyone will be given the chance to accept or reject His call. So he is also a judge at this time. Judging between good and evil, searching our hearts, cutting away the evil, repairing the damage of sin, placing us in the fiery furnace until we emerge perfect. Our court systems pretend to rehabilitate us. God actually does it through the Holy Spirit. Instead of immediate punishment, God has a plan of rehabilitation. We have a comforting Judge who now dispenses mercy instead of justice. We are a persevering and patient people.
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. (Revelation 3: 18)
