Also do a google on CW Leadbeater and find that he was kicked out of the
Theosophical Society for being much to partial to teenage boys, caused a big
rift in the Society as a result, came back afterwards with a bunch of made up
bs about Maitreya that in later years another huckster Benjamin Creme would
ripoff to form his own little personality cult. All these boys needed a gravy
train you know.

Back in 1902, the Theosophist Leadbeater wrote
Man Visible and
Invisible which covers the bases. Here's a link
to the text on-line which includes lots of colour plates but
also I've copied in his interpretations of the colours
below. There are lots of groups offering courses in astral
projection and/or lucid dreaming in the UK. Do a
Google.http://www.anandgholap.net/Man_Visible_And_Invisible-CWL.htm
134. Anger, for example, is
represented by scarlet, and love by crimson and rose; but
both anger and love are often deeply tinged with
selfishness, and just so far as that is the case will the
purity of their respective colors be dimmed by the hard
brown-grey which is so characteristic of this vice. Or
again, either of them may be mingled with pride, and that
would instantly show itself by a tinge of deep orange. Many
examples of such commingling, and of the resultant shades of
color, will be seen as we continue our investigation; but
our first endeavor must be to learn to read the meaning of
the simpler hues. We will give here a list of some of these
which are most common.135. Black. - Thick black
clouds in the astral body mark the presence of hatred and
malice. When a person unhappily gives way to a fit of
passionate anger, the terrible thought-forms of hate may
generally be seen floating in his aura like coils of heavy,
poisonous smoke.136. Red. - Deep-red
flashes, usually on a black ground, show anger; and this
will be more or less tinged with brown as there is more or
less of direct selfishness in the type of anger. What is
sometimes called “noble indignation” on behalf of
someone oppressed or injured may express itself in flashes
of brilliant scarlet on the ordinary background of the
aura.137. Lurid, sanguinary red - a
color which is quite unmistakable, though not easy to
describe - indicates sensuality.138. Brown. - Dull
brown-red, almost rust-color, means avarice; and it usually
arranges itself in parallel bars across the astral body,
giving a very curious appearance.139. Dull, hard brown-grey
signifies selfishness, and is unfortunately one of the very
commonest colors in the astral body.140. Greenish-brown, lit up by
deep red or scarlet flashes, denotes jealousy, and in the
case of the ordinary man there is nearly always a good deal
of this color present when he is what is called “in
love”.141. Grey. - Heavy leaden
grey expresses deep depression, and where this is habitual
its appearance is sometimes indescribably gloomy and
saddening. This color also has the curious characteristic of
arranging itself in parallel lines, as has that of avarice,
and both give the impression that their unfortunate victim
is imprisoned within a kind of astral cage.142. Livid grey, a most
hideous
and frightful hue, betokens fear.143. Crimson. - This color
is the manifestation of love, and is often the most
beautiful feature in the vehicles of the average man.
Naturally it varies very greatly with the nature of the
love. It may be dull, heavy, and deeply tinged with the
brown of selfishness, if the so-called love occupies itself
chiefly with the consideration of how much affection is
received from somebody else, how much return it is getting
for its investment. But if the love be of that kind that
thinks never of itself at all, nor of what it receives, but
only of how much it can give, and how entirely it can pour
itself forth as a willing sacrifice for the sake of the
loved one, then it will express itself in the most lovely
rose-color; and when this rose-color is exceptionally
brilliant and tinged with lilac, it proclaims the more
spiritual love for humanity. The intermediate possibilities
are countless; and the affection may of course be tinged
in various other ways, as by pride or jealousy.144. Orange. - This color
is always significant of pride or ambition, and has almost
as many variations as the last-mentioned, according to the
nature of the pride or the ambition. It is not infrequently
found in union with irritability.145. Yellow. - This is a
very good color, implying always the possession of
intellectuality. Its shades vary, and it may be complicated
by the admixture of various other hues. Generally speaking,
it has a deeper and duller tint if the intellect is directed
chiefly into lower channels, most especially if the objects
are selfish; but it becomes brilliantly golden, and rises
gradually to a beautiful clear and luminous lemon or
primrose yellow, as it is addressed to higher and more
unselfish objects.146. Green. - No color has
more varied signification than this, and it requires some
study to interpret it correctly. Most of its manifestations
indicate a kind of adaptability, at first evil and
deceitful, but eventually good and sympathetic.147. Grey-green, a
peculiar shade
which signifies deceit and cunning, will be found very
prominently in the astral bodies of most primitives. It is
by no means rare among civilized men, who ought long ago to
have passed the stage of evolution which it indicates. As
the man advances, this hue improves into a bright
emerald-green, which still means versatility, ingenuity,
and quickness of resource, but no longer implies any evil
intent in connection with these qualities. It indicates
the power of “being all things to all men”, not now for
the purpose of tricking or misleading them, but at first
in order to please them, to obtain their praise or their
favor, and later on, as understanding develops, for the
purpose of helping and strengthening them. Eventually it
becomes a lovely pale, luminous blue-green, such as may
sometimes be seen in an exceptionally delicate sunset sky,
and then it shows some of the grandest qualities of human
nature, the deepest sympathy and compassion, with the power
of perfect adaptability which only they can give. In its
earlier development a bright apple-green seems always to
accompany strong vitality.148. Blue. - Dark, clear
blue usually betokens religious feeling, but this also
varies according to the type of the feeling, its purity or
bigotry, its selfishness or nobility. It is liable to be
tinted by almost any of the qualities previously mentioned,
so that we may have any shade from indigo on one side and
rich deep violet on the other, down to a muddy grey-blue
which is at the level of fetish-worship. The tinge of love
or fear, of deceit or of pride, may mingle with the hue of
religion, and thus there is a wide range of variation
observable.149. Light blue marks devotion to
a noble spiritual ideal, and gradually rises to a luminous
lilac-blue, which typifies the higher spirituality, and is
usually accompanied by sparkling golden stars,
representing elevated spiritual
aspirations.
