It has been suggested that the seven colors of the rainbow have significant meaning. The perfect blending of the seven color rays in the bright sunlight gives us a white light. If the rays are split up by being passed through a glass prism, they are at once visible as colors. In the same way a rainbow is produced by the minute prismatic effects of rain in the sky. The color rays are pouring down on the earth night and day. Each object and every atom responds to them, thereby announcing its own quality. A red rose absorbs all colors except red and reflects the red light waves back to us, it enters our eyes, is processed by our brains and we determine that the rose is indeed red.

Dark, drab and dingy colors harm our spirits, morals and health. They encourage crime, inhibitions, inferiority complexes, suicide and stunted development. They actually prevent the radiation of personal magnetism (the give and take between human beings). They inhibit optimism and inspiration. People go into depression during the drab, gray winter months whereas bright, sunny days cause happiness and optimism.

Black is the color of negativity, fear, anxiety, hatred, resentment, guilt, depression and so forth. Therefore, you want the color of your band to represent what you seek and what you feel.
