Quick question about color scales... why do we seem to always use the Queen scale? If you look up a colored Tree if Life you'll see the sephiroth in Queen scale colors and the Queen scale is almost universally the scale used when making a Qabalah-color correspondence. No one thinks of Hod a violet or that baby-poo color, we think of it as orange. No one thinks of Netzach as a yellowey-amber color, we think of it as green.

I looked into what the scales themselves correspond do and that didn't really make anything clearer to me; they correspond to the Qabalistic worlds with King = Atziluth, Queen = Briah, etc.. But then why not use the King scale since Atziluth that's sort of the Theurgic goal? Or why not use the Princess scale since we live in Assiah so it's of direct importance and impact? Why Briah!?

So can anyone tell me why we seem to obsessively default to the Queen scale?
