In your search for knowledge you will come across tables of magickal correspondences for the best candle colors to use for certain spells. These are for optimum conditions for spell work, but it is not necessary to follow these to the letter. GreyWing herself has some of these tables on her site, (one is below) but finds it unnecessary to follow things to the absolute pickiness these table can show.

Working magick is a state of mind, not a time of day or month, or year. Candle colors may be changed according to your feelings of what is right for you. If your budget is tight and you only have a white candle at the moment, use it. The magic is in your hands, and only you know what is inside you.

Light, like all things, vibrate. Every color vibrates at a different speed. The different vibrations of various colors can be used by our brains in the rituals we perform for healing, meditations, magick, or any thing we wish. This is called practical magick because we are using an Element, this time Light.
