The 777 Color Cabinet
Aleister Crowley's 777 (1909) tabulates four colour scales across every row of the Key Scale — one for each of the Four Worlds of Kabbalistic cosmology. Stephen Skinner reproduces and expands these as tables R1–R4 in The Complete Magician's Tables (2006). The King Scale (Atziluth) gives the pure archetypal colour; the Queen Scale (Briah) its reflection; the Emperor Scale (Yetzirah) the formative shade; and the Empress Scale (Assiah) the material manifestation, often described as flecked, rayed, or quartered combinations. The hex values shown here are the shop's screen approximations of the source descriptions — occult colour names do not have canonical digital equivalents.
The Four Colour Scales
King Scale (Atziluth, Yod) — Column XV of 777. The colour of the Sephirah or Path in the World of Archetypes. These are the “pure” colours, often single and vivid.
Queen Scale (Briah, Heh) — Column XVI. The reflective or creative-world complement. Often contrasts strongly with the King Scale.
Emperor Scale (Yetzirah, Vav) — Column XVII. The formative shade, frequently a compound or darkened variant of the King.
Empress Scale (Assiah, Heh final) — Column XVIII. The material colour, described with modifiers like “flecked,” “rayed,” or “quartered” to indicate composite visible appearance.
