I actually remember reading a book called "What Color is Your Aura?" back when it first hit the shelves here in the States. It was quite a while ago, so my memory of the specific test and all its possible results is a little fuzzy. In the end, I didn't land on just one color; it was more like a mix of indigo, purple, and blue... though I can't quite recall the exact proportions.
Each color had its own chapter explaining that specific personality type. "Indigo" was treated as something separate later on, supposedly because it was a newer aura color appearing more frequently in children, whereas it was extremely rare among those born in the mid-20th century. After that, you hear about waves of "Crystal" and "Rainbow" children—more aura colors that weren't really in the original book, maybe just briefly mentioned. Since then, the internet has been flooded with info on Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow kids, and how they differ. Apparently, Indigos are empathetic but prone to conflict, while Crystals are total sweethearts and even more socially awkward than Indigos. As for Rainbow kids, I'm not entirely sure what the deal is—maybe they're clairvoyant or something like that.
So, according to this theory (or fantasy, depending on how you look at it), no color is inherently better than another; rather, certain colors become necessary for humanity's evolution at different times. Indigos were meant to trigger changes that aren't necessarily revolutionary on their own, but serve to prep the world for the sensitive Crystal and Rainbow children, who wouldn't be able to handle their mission in the harsh world that existed before the Indigos arrived. Now, those kids have grown up, so we have these Indigo adults who are now parents to Crystal and Rainbow children—though Indigo children are still being born, along with the red, yellow, green, and blue types... basically all the traditional aura colors.
To truly determine which category someone falls into, you'd actually need to be able to see auras, and I definitely can't do that—nor do I know anyone who can. There was once a woman practicing here—I put 'psychiatrist' in quotes because people later started questioning if her medical degree was even legitimate—who taught an autogenic training course. During the class, students were supposed to intuitively sense the color of their "energy field." I couldn't pull it off, so she told me what mine was, and honestly, it didn't match any of the results from that book test at all. You can find tons of these tests online, and they all serve the same purpose as any other "personality quiz": they're fun to take, the descriptions are about as precise as a horoscope (meaning if you squint, you can find similarities), and then you either laugh it off or dive deep into studying your "type," which can be a nice way for misunderstood or misfit types to feel like they've finally found their tribe.
Thinking about it now... does anyone actually know where the first mentions of auras come from? Not the halos you see in religious paintings, but this specific concept of ethereal, astral bodies and whatnot... where did all of this originate?
