Man, sometimes life just decides to throw everything it has at you, all at once. I’ve always considered myself a pretty chilled-out, go-with-the-flow kind of person—typical Pisces, right? But about six months ago, I hit a massive rut. And I mean massive. I had three major setbacks in quick succession: a huge renovation project at the house went sideways and cost me double the budget, I had a nasty fender-bender that wasn’t even my fault but still sucked up weeks of paperwork, and then my cat decided he needed emergency surgery. It felt like every penny I earned was immediately being vacuumed up by bad luck.
I was driving this beautiful, shiny, raven black SUV at the time. I thought it looked serious and professional. But the constant stream of minor disasters was starting to seriously mess with my head. I was complaining about it all to my cousin—she’s the kind of person who knows everyone’s moon sign and their rising sign by heart—and she just looked at me with this knowing glare.
“It’s the colour,” she declared, without hesitation. “Black is totally grounding, sure, but for a water sign like you, it blocks the flow. It’s too heavy. You’re absorbing all the bad energy from the road and bringing it home.”
I initially laughed it off, but the more I thought about my financial drain, the more desperate I got. I figured, I already document every workout, every coding project, and every DIY repair I attempt—why not document an astrological colour theory test? I needed hard proof. I needed to practically test what shades brought fortune and what shades were pure jinx.
The Experimental Phase: Tracking the Vibes
I couldn’t afford to just trade in my SUV repeatedly, so I devised a system using rentals and carefully negotiated long test drives with local dealerships. I set aside four two-week testing periods. The goal was to compare the recommended Pisces colours—the light, watery shades—against the famously heavy, grounding, or aggressive shades that are often flagged as trouble for sensitive signs.
I tracked three key metrics every single day: Financial Drain (unplanned car expenses, tickets, or household fees), Flow State (how often I hit green lights, how easy parking was), and Emotional Load (my perceived stress level while driving).
The Unlucky Shades: Dark and Heavy
First up, I went for a deep burgundy sports coupe. It looked fast, but it felt terrible. I logged more aggressive interactions with other drivers in those two weeks than I had in the previous six months combined. One day, I accidentally scraped the rental car’s rim against a curb—that was a $200 immediate financial drain. Total jinx material.
Next, I tested out a really dark, almost navy blue sedan. This shade wasn’t aggressive, but it was incredibly sluggish. Every errand felt like a massive undertaking. I noted down two instances of major traffic jams that had no apparent cause. It just felt like the car was refusing to move efficiently. I observed my productivity drop sharply during this period.
The Lucky Shades: Light and Airy
I was relieved to switch over. For my third test, I secured a pure, shimmering Silver metallic hatchback. The change was instant. It was like I had been wearing lead boots and suddenly someone gave me sneakers. Traffic seemed to part. I found the perfect parking space outside the busy grocery store three days in a row. Zero unplanned costs. In fact, I actually received an unexpected small refund on an old utility bill I’d forgotten about. The universe was starting to pay me back!
The final test subject was the one my cousin had been pushing hardest: a light, pale Mint Green minivan (I had to sacrifice cool factor for science). This colour was utterly transformative. My stress level plummeted. I caught myself humming while driving multiple times. I solved a complicated software issue at work that had been hanging over my head for weeks, feeling totally focused and calm while sitting in the driveway before going in. It was pure, distilled Pisces energy—calm, flowing, and intuitive.
The Final Verdict: My Documented Findings
After collecting all the data and comparing the metrics, the results were crystal clear. The dark, heavy colours actively attracted friction and financial stress, while the light, reflective colours promoted ease and reduced unexpected problems.
The Shades That Saved My Sanity (Highly Recommended for Pisces):
- Silver/Light Grey: The best all-around choice for financial stability and smooth cruising.
- Mint Green/Seafoam: Unbelievable for mental clarity and emotional peace; enhances creative flow.
- Pearlescent White: A powerful deflector of bad vibes, simple and effective.
The Shades That Caused Chaos (Avoid Them, Seriously):
- Dark Red/Burgundy: Magnified aggression and attracted petty obstacles (like curb scrapes!).
- Deep Navy/Midnight Blue: Caused lethargy, heavy energy, and slow-downs.
- Black (Especially Matte): Too heavy; I experienced the highest financial drain and technical issues with black.
I have since sold the black SUV and purchased a light silver truck. And I swear, the flow has returned. It sounds crazy, but the practical documentation doesn’t lie. If you’re a Pisces and you’re driving something dark, you might be accidentally attracting all the messy energy you are trying to avoid. Go light, go watery, and watch the luck turn around.
