In many folk traditions, each color carries its own symbolism, with ties to protection, harvest, remembrance and the changing of the seasons. "Traditional Halloween colors aren't just a random palette," explains Cassidy Claspell, the traditional witch and mystic behind @veilandaltar. "In the world of witchcraft, each one is doing a specific job."
From black candles and white ghosts to purple accents and orange pumpkins, here's what some of Halloween's most iconic colors have traditionally represented.

Real-life witch Cassidy Claspell explains the true meanings behind traditional Halloween colors.Cassidy Claspell
"Black shows up because in a lot of folk practice it represents protection and banishing, not villainy," Cassidy says. "It's the color used to absorb and ward off negative energy rather than invite it in."
Orange
"Orange ties back to the harvest itself, standing in for the last burst of the sun's vitality before the year turns toward winter," Cassidy shares.
"Purple gets used for its association with intuition and the thinning veil between worlds, since it's long been linked to divination and spirit work in folk tradition," says Cassidy.
White
"White carries meaning as the color of spirits and purification in a lot of folk customs," Cassidy says, "which is part of why ghosts are traditionally depicted in white sheets rather than any other color."
Green
"Green ties back to the natural cycle of decay and growth, and to fae folklore in Celtic tradition, representing the idea that death feeds new life rather than simply ending it," Cassidy tells us.
