They used a combination of variety of colours that is used for healing purposes. This treatment is known to cure a variety of illness by matching the amount and quality of various colours. Each colour works on a specific organ and for curing the specific ailment of that body part, colour therapists supplement the use of the particular colour by designing a chart that may even include dressing and wearing clothes of specific colours. As an instance, for people suffering from depression, vibrant colours are supplemented in their day to day living to increase the level of positive energy that supplements good positive thinking.
Colour therapy works on the basic principle that colour can help in striking a right balance and is all about maintaining the right energy levels.

Many people, mostly women, tend to opt for massage, spa to get a vibrant and younger looking skin. These ways generally revitalise your skin, adding the required energy by relaxing the stressed out muscles.

Red, orange and yellow are very warm colours, while blue and violet are among the cool shades; green is thought to be as the neutral colour that helps in striking the balance between the two extremes.
We shall now deal with the emotion that each colour depicts and the organ part they best act on. Red colour signifies the fiery nature and hence can be considered to be invigorating or a stimulant and thus helps in increasing blood pressure and breathing rate. At the same time, if a person seems to be suffering from extra tension or high blood pressure, his/her interaction with red needs to be reduced. Blue is a total contrast for red as it stands for the soothing and calm effect. It represents the calmness and serenity and is hence an exact opposite of red. Thus, blue aids in reducing blood pressure. Green as it has been told before is the balancing colour and hence gives you a balanced look and thus relaxes the nerves and dilates the capillaries. Yellow signifies happiness and joy as it is a very bright shade, its effect on the body includes its use as a visual and nervous stimulant, thus it can also be used for depression patients to supplement energy levels and to infuse joy and mirth in their life. The colour orange is symbolic of the euphoric feeling and is similar to yellow in its effects, it helps in accelerating pulse, it also adds to the feel good factor..
Thus, we can see that all the colours when used together can help cure a lot of problems and all aid to your well being and adds to your health.
