Evil Eye / Colour Symbolism

Evil Eye Colours & Their Meanings

The classic blue nazar has a long-established association with protection. Today, evil-eye amulets appear in almost every colour. Many of the meanings assigned to these newer colours come from modern colour symbolism rather than one historical system.

The Traditional Blue Nazar

The blue glass eye bead has a long-established association with protection against the evil eye, documented across the Eastern Mediterranean and Anatolia.

Modern Colour Associations

The rainbow of colours now found in evil-eye jewellery draws largely on modern colour symbolism. These are contemporary popular associations, not a single ancient system.
