Popis: There is no doubt that light plays a significant role in esoteric observations, as it is an attribute of God Almighty that manifests itself in the form of phenomena. It is possible to categorize phenomena into two categories: macro and micro, each of which is associated with a specific instance. Color is one of the most prominent characteristics of Illuminations. In the course of this examination, we have taken a look at the concept of color in psychology as well as attempted to explain its relationship to light in the context of Latyef-e- Sab'a (seven subtleties). This article intends - without reference to psychology - to clarify the nature of colored light and analyze the significance of color in Simnani's thinking. We use the method of analyzing the practical concept of color to aid in our understanding of the interpretation of Atvar-e-Sab'a's unique colors. The results indicate that yellow (soul), blue (self) and red (heart) are the three primary colors in Simnani's mystic ideas. As a result of the ascension of the traveler on the mystic path in approximately different exaltations of change of heart, as well as stable and systematic phenomena, these three colors, which are considered primary in nature, are regulated according to their messages and special effects, according to metaphysics. The purpose of our analysis and investigation of color recognition is to demonstrate that, despite the effectiveness and reality of the seven lights, their colors and colorful spectra possess a sense of balance and equilibrium or, in other words, order and regulation within their horizons. Thus, Simnani's chromatics follows a logic that we understood and recognized in the analysis of light and color.
