Magic color (魔導色 Madōshoku)[1] refers to the default color of the magical energy aura (魔力光 maryoku hikari) released by a mage.[2] It is most commonly seen in the magic circles, but also in spells, projectiles and barriers etc.

Behind the scenes[]
The Movie 1st and 2nd Commentary Tracks introduce the idea of Magic Color Divination, or predicting a mage's personality from their magic color. It is acknowledged that these are not guaranteed, but have a high degree of accuracy and are really just something "done for fun". In the cases of mixed colors or shades, the primary color displays dominant traits and the secondary color shows lesser traits.
| Color | Personality Traits |
|---|---|
| Light Blue | Positive and optimistic |
| Blue | Serious and straight-laced |
| Purple | Strong sense of responsibility and affection for loved ones |
| Red | Passionate and direct |
| Yellow | Kind and well-mannered / Gentle and polite[3] |
| Gold | Rare magic color, traits of yellow plus a strong sense of pride |
| Pink | Virtuous and focused / Innocence and sincerity[3] |
| Orange | Empathetic and deeply emotional / Passionate[3] |
| Rainbow | Lively and active |
| Black/Gray | Knowledgeable and intelligent |
| White | Talented at leading, but slightly clumsy / Abundant natural talent[3] |
| Green | Compassionate / Kind and gentle[3] |
| Tea | Simple and calm |
