I have a theory about how this works. Two actually
Theory 1:
It's BS and they're making it up
How would you generalise the colour of someone's aura in the first instance? We are told people's names on a regular basis so have that first step. With auras that first step is missing.

What would you say of a blue aura with black surrounding the outside?
Like a deep bright royal blue..
Nice. Finally some sense is being spoken on this thread. Thanks @88chaz88
You make a good point about it not being synesthesia due to people only seeing colours. However I don't think it's a "you look like a dave" thing either. This probably comes from memory. You meet a dave who has a big nose and beady eyes, then meet another dave who has a big nose and beady eyes and your brain generalises this due to the repeated pattern. From that point on everyone you meet who has a big nose and beady eyes would look like a Dave to you.

This one.
Fair point, thats just my cynicism coming out. I have a hard time understanding how anyone can be self delusional in such a way, but I must admit most people are. I guess its my own form of delusion to think that they must simply be lying because that makes more sense than the alternative for me personally, which is that we live in a species/society where delusion is so powerful.Half right.
It's most probably bullshit but these people really believe in it.

Resisting the presence of spirit or psychic awareness?Sounds like this person is on the brink of "opening up", but either 1. they're uncomfortable/wary of sharing their experiences or 2. They are resisting the presence of spirit/psychic awareness...and it's probably affecting their concentration.
Hot is red, cold is blue.
Some people are warm, some are cold.
Sounds have shapes.
Ect.
This comes from synesthesia. We all have it to a certain degree. Red being warm probably is a very common synesthesia pattern. It's so common that it is said all the time and it then becomes generalised by the people who don't have this pattern of synesthesia
Here's a question to believers and non-believers alike. Do y'all see rings of light around people's heads and shoulders? I don't see colours, but I see rings of light and I don't know if others see them too... I ought to start asking friends.
Ex. @Poetic_Justice's avatar kid definitely has light around him (a thick band around his body), I don't see any on some of the other avatars, but the guy in @Sriracha 's avatar definitely has one, although I am inclined to believe that is more of a matter of photography lights than aura? Anyone else see them, too?
I believe we reveal energy that others are able to perceive about us because I am able to feel energy from others. I am willing to believe this can take the form of auras.
However, for some reason, maybe due to public denial, I have trouble believing we have the technology to accurately detect auras. If we have such technology, why is there still such widespread disbelief? Most people who are invested in scientific empiricism would be willing to suspend their doubts given sufficient evidence in favour of the hypothesis that auras exist. Is Kirlian photography controversial?
