“The colour preference reflects a person's inner state, so leading us to the best remedy. It often shows us which remedy groups are worth examining. And it's also a great help when confirming an indicated remedy“ – Jan Scholten

Colour preference expresses a person's prevailing emotional state and the condition of their vital force. It is a reliable general symptom that is easy to determine and does not require any interpretation. Colour preference helps to precisely determine the best remedy and can be used as an additional symptom regardless of the homeopathic approach being used.

The relationship between colours and remedies was discovered during decades of clinical research, which began 30 years ago with Dr Hugbald Müller from Cologne, continued chiefly in the Kandern practice, and is now being further developed worldwide. The colour preferences of well over 10,000 patients have been systematically checked over many years. Only the cases of patients who were cured or who showed significant improvement were then evaluated. It became clear that the patients who were cured by a specific remedy had the same colour preference. The colour symptom was therefore not simply assigned to a remedy on theoretical grounds but this connection emerged naturally.

The sixth edition has been greatly expanded. For the first time it includes the relationship between colour groups and remedy families. For example, turquoise includes the Natrium and Lithium compounds, the Anacardiaceae and the snake remedies. This broader perspective allows more scope for remedy selection. One or two colour preferences have been assigned to over 1,100 remedies. Colour preference can therefore be used as a key building block in remedy selection, a method that proved helpful in over 50% of cases in a clinical trial. In addition, the remedies of the colour rubrics are arranged according to Jan Scholten's series for the first time: the plant remedies include the codes from Scholten's new botanical system. It is therefore the first repertory to contain this classification system.

“Dr H. V. Müller's discovery of the colour preference is simply a remarkable achievement. Thanks to his work, I have found unexpected paths to the simillimum and have therefore been able to heal cases that were resistant to the usual methods. The miracle of the colour preference successfully led me to new remedies that I had never used before. It was also able to confirm well-known remedies, where I would previously have puzzled over whether they were really indicated. “ – Peter Tumminello
