Colors in Thangka art are symbolic rather than decorative.
Red represents power, compassion, and protection.
Yellow symbolizes wisdom, stability, and earth.
Blue conveys infinity, purity, and the nature of emptiness.
Green expresses action, vitality, and swift compassion.
White stands for purity, clarity, and peace. Traditional Regong pigments come from natural minerals such as malachite, cinnabar, lapis lazuli, and azurite. These pigments are ground, filtered, and mixed by hand, resulting in colors that remain vibrant for decades. Understanding color symbolism helps collectors choose the right deity and style for their intention.
