From the book "color Healing" by Lilian Verner-Bonds

Healing with color - Turquoise

"Turquoise is single-minded  and looks to itself first.  It is the color that says "Stand still!  What do you think?  What do I need?"

Turquoise says what is appropriate.  Its basic motivation in life is personal relationships.  Negative turquoise can be deceived about itself.  It can be an emotional manipulator.  The antique business is well suited to turquoise, as is working with animals.  Turquoise is good at sharing as it hates to be alone.  It just loves family life."

Turquoise and parts of the body:
Healing matters of the heart, throat chest, peace, tranquillity, central nervous system, emotional shock.

Turquoise helps you to know what you want.

The healing properties of Gray

"Gray is the bridge between black and white.  Where innocence and ignorance meet.  Gray at its best is optimistic, and knows that the best is yet to come.  At its weakest, it believes it cannot have it today.  It might get it tomorrow...but tomorrow never comes.

Negative gray is conventional to the point of narrow-mindedness.  It is the shade of suffering and poverty.  Gray offers a helping hand.  It helps one break free from the chains that bind.  Gray usually does the jobs that no one else wants to do.  "

Gray and parts of the body:
Gray shades in the body represent breakdown.  Light gray can be soothing, although gray is not normally used in healing.  When the skin and nails have a gray tinge, it is a sign that there is congestion somewhere in the body.

Hidden colors:
When you are working with color healing, it is important to remember
That some colors have hidden colors (e.g.. blue + green + yellow  =
Turquoise). Look at the individual colors as well as the main color.
 

Complementary colors
These are important in color healing as you can use them to balance Any colors which you have in excess.  For example, if you were angry at something, you have an excess of red, so by looking at blue flowers, or wearing something blue, you are counteracting the effects of the red.

Complementary colors:
Red - Blue
Orange - Indigo
Yellow - Purple
Green - magenta
Green acts as a neutralizer and will return balance to any situation, so if you can't remember which colors are complementary, just use green.
 

Color Healing:
There are many ways you can use color healing, you can try to eat foods of the color you need, you can wear clothes of that color, use colored crystalliser you can use colored lights to focus the color into a particular part of your body (Called Chromotherapy).  You can make color lights, by using colored cellophane (or other similar substance) and covering the head of the lamp (or a torch) with it.  BE CAREFUL that the cellophane does not touch the bulb, or get too hot.
