Green = pine, eucalyptus, vetiver
Rose/Red = roses, geraniums, tulips
Purple/Indigo = lavender, lilac
But sometimes, the direct association is not obvious and the color can often be found in the hue of the leaves or the tint of the inner workings, we only get a glimpse of. This is the case with orange. Here are some of the most popular essential oils associated with orange: Anise, Caraway, Ginger, Carrot Seed, Bergamot, Mandarin, Calendula, Neroli, Nutmeg, Orange, Patchouli, Pimento, Sandalwood, Cardamon, Benzoin, Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Marjoram, Cypress
