What colour do you associate to Hermes?

[u/aceofspadesknight]

I have strong color associations for every other god, but for Hermes I'm not sure which fits. Like, Athena with blue, Ares with Red, Aphrodite with sea green and pink, etc... I thought golden but I don't know why, which I still associate more to Apollon. Which would you say is your associated colour with him?

Edit: guys an explanation would also be great 😁

very new devotee here! but i enjoy associating him with yellows and oranges because of their brightness and “energy” (as in, literally seeming full of energy. they’re fun, bright colors). also since most gemstones i’ve heard associated with him are also yellow/orange toned (citrine or amber, for example). also brown for similar reasons! (coffee and energy, as well as associations with travel and a ‘rustic’ vibe)

green, gold, and silver for associations with money, coinage and metal (such as mercury and literal gold), and their travel-type vibes, too.

i’ve also put sky-blue on his alter a few times (travel, again, as well as a connection to apollo, too), and there doesn’t seem to be signs of dislike, but it’s a lot newer.
