The navgrahas are mainstay in forming our life’s composition, and colors are like chords that if struck right, can bring immense positivity.

The color blue is for spirituality, and luck. Often associated with Saturn, the color will help usher luck, success in business and industry. Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius zodiac signs, hence black or blue should be their play-with colors, this Holi.
