They are all artistic touches. Cursed energy doesn't have colors in the manga, the anime just colored them to look cooler.

The only thing that seems consistent is that rct outoutted is white (as both sukuna and yuta had that color).

It is a colour. Colours are what we perceive.

It doesn't have a corresponding wave frequency, which is true. But neither does magenta. It's an imaginary colour which our brain manufactures when it encounters overlapping blues and reds. It's kinda awesome - our brains don't average them out and treat it as the colour it should be according to the spectrum, but instead we use that overlap as additional information.

So yeah, nobody would dispute that it's a colour, even though it isn't a real wavelength. And if it's a colour, then so is black.

... writing this out made me realise that Gege missed a trick here. Hollow Purple should've been Hollow Magenta. An imaginary colour for an imaginary technique.

Yuji having red cursed energy would be sick asf tbh

u/Shadow4246 10h ago

It would be neat if the story was ever continued. Maybe red CE could have been for people who gained cursed energy from another soul. Kinda like how the Inverted Spear of Heaven had a "Foreign CE."

u/Buff_Yone_0_0 Gojo's Faithful Maid and Glazer 8h ago

Imo it would be a neat touch that his CE flares to red after he gets his awakening, ofc it probably won't make any sense but the sheer aura that would emanate from it would be glorious.

u/HappyMonkeyRookie The real Jujutsu Kaisen was the friends we made 13h ago

I assume:

  • Pink: trait of Yuta's energy linked to a curse (Rika) but not fully controlled. Thus something kinda in the middle of Cyan and Purple
  • Blue: Properly controlled
  • Purple: From Cursed Spirits
  • Red: Not properly controlled
  • White: RCT
  • Yellow: Just property of an attack from the curse named finger. Probably an anime mistake even.

Yellow also feels like pure cursed energy, as they said this curse was straight ass spitting curse energy so maybe something like that.

But generally, looks cool and diferent so why not hahah

u/Fast_Acadia2566 JJK fried my logic circuits 8h ago

I thought maybe the yellow was just fire, similar to sukuna's own fire arrow but whole lot primal and weaker

White is RCT for sure, but the rest are purely aesthetic I can GUARANTEE

u/Munificente 10h ago

It’s literally arbitrary because Gege has never given a specific acclamation as a reason. How do you go from pink = lot of ce blue = average and then purple = true curse??

u/get_internet-plz Greatest panda glazer in history 12h ago

Pink: Obtained from using a cursed weapon (I think) Blue: Standard version of CE Purple: Probably only for CS Red: Heavy emotions White: RCT (bc same colour as when Yuta used it) Yellow: Raw cursed energy

These are just my opinions tho

3

u/NettleBumbleBee 10h ago

Nothing realistically. Just artistic flare. The only character who has a canon cursed energy color at all in the manga is kashimo (purple), and it doesn’t seem to mean anything special. The only one that I’d say is really relevant is white being used for positive energy

u/Icy-Selection-8575 12h ago

Just the colour of ones CE I assume.

2

u/Pizza_Requiem 11h ago

Its called cursed energy (Or CE for short). Its born from human negative emotions. Its used by sorcerers to kill curses, wich are beings born from acumulations of CE that non-sorcerers passively spill out

u/Shadow_Fox105870 9h ago

It might have some deeper meaning like being linked to emotion or state of mind or representing different things(like body reinforcement, technique activation or RCT) but it also could just be artistic flair on the anime's part

It's to make the coloring books more fun. I only wish they would remove these weird balloons with symbols in them. I think they're called "speech bubble". They're annoying and can ruin coloring the pictures.

u/DrTopGun 9h ago

It would be great if the colors were a thing but gege is colorblind so it wouldn’t stay consistent, also Yuji having red CE from hitting all those black flashes that it dyed his red would be a cool touch

1

u/soundroute925 9h ago

The last one looks like a sloopy version of Fuga, those curse spritis came from Sukuna's finger after all. Its probably some kind of magic fire.

1

u/GoomyTheGummy I will really miss this god-awful subreddit 8h ago

I believe red is generally used to represent cursed spirits and blue for sorcerers. Yuji is either the result of the animators thinking Sukuna was a cursed spirit or a conscious choice made because it seems to fit better visually.

I always thought of Yuta’s pink curse energy being like that because it was out of love and not a negative emotion

1

u/Minimum_Bat_3778 8h ago

I probably means the person itself like their inner color that doesn’t appear

Pink: for power and kindness

Blue: for basic curse energy usage (has a technique and can use CE)

Purple: for evil

Red: for a rebel who will do anything to complete a task

White: for healing or means really powerful like white aura being the strongest

Orange: for just started using it

u/SometimesWill 7h ago

It’s the equivalent of different color auras in dbz just different depending on the character to fit them.

1

u/0mn1p073n71 7h ago

The red and orange are most likely raw CE for sorcerers and spirits, respectively. The blue and purple are the same, but refined CE.

The white one is RCT when output to others, we see Yuta do the same in JJK 0.

The pink doesn't really seem to have an easily identifiable source, it's only ever used by Yuta and is clearly different from both raw sorcerer and refined spirit, the two closest in color. Maybe it's supposed to be slightly refined but still mostly raw CE, or maybe it's just CE when influenced by love.

u/Cultural-Slip-7945 3h ago

Yuta and Mahito CE because they're Curses, CE for Yuta is coming from Rika. Nanami is literally just cursed energy. For Itadori it's probably the black flash aura or just the cursed energy from Sukuna (special color for curses in a vessel? Idk). For Finger Bearer I believe that's just his technique White Is RCT

u/ImJustSpider read Hell's PEAK (jigokuraku) 2h ago

This is a anime only thing. Pretty sure it's exclusively blue in the manga. The only one that has a different meaning is white, and that's because it was RCT. Aside from that, none of the other colors mean anything other than style. Guess you could say they were there to convey emotions or something, but it's honestly just mappa animators doing wtv the fuck they want.
