Red color of the palm indicates a great robustness. A red handed guy will be passionate, quick-tempered, and ardent. A red line will indicate much of the same, but it will be modified by the function of the line, i.e. a red line of life will indicate a vigorous, robust health coupled with an active nature, while a red line of heart will denote overflowing and heartfelt emotions.

Yellow in the palm is the mark of the melancholy and morose character.

Pink hue in the palm denotes a hopeful, sanguine, enthusiastic, and bright nature. One may consider it to be a less extreme manifestation of a red hand or line. This is the optimal color for any line in a healthy and well-adjusted person.

White color denotes a lack of interest in the outside world and those with whom the bearer may associate. White hands are egotistical, consequenting in selfishness and a lack of sympathy for others. It is also a symbol for general ill-health and weakness.

Black line denotes a trait of a person as grave, haughty, distant, and vengeful.
