Opinion

A belief or judgement that rests on grounds insufficient to produce completely certainty. A personal view, attitude, or appraisal.**

Magick has no color, only intent.

Fact

Something that actually exists; reality; truth**

Psychologically speaking, humans associate colors with concepts.

We need to stop stating our opinions as facts. It is of my opinion that this can be damaging to the intellectual growth of the community as a whole; especially to the thousands of newbies who have created accounts for this website specifically to learn more about magickal practice.

The only reason that the first phrase was mentioned is that someone thought someone else was treating color magick as literal colors of magick. Yet, knowing that most people use them as subjective labels of intent, we (collectively to anyone this applies to) regurgitate this opinion as fact .
