Hand Colour and Skin Texture Meaning

The colour and texture of the hand give clues about temperament and vitality.

Colour of the palm

  • Pink: healthy, cheerful and balanced — considered the best colour.
  • Red: energetic, passionate and sometimes quick-tempered.
  • Pale or white: low energy, sensitivity or reserved nature.
  • Yellowish: traditionally linked with a serious or melancholic outlook.

Skin texture

  • Fine, smooth skin: refined, sensitive and artistic.
  • Coarse skin: practical, robust and down-to-earth.
  • Medium texture: balanced temperament.

A note on health

Colour can change with temperature, circulation and health. Palm colour should never be used to diagnose illness — always consult a doctor about health concerns.
