For instance, if a yidam is associated with the ratna family, then he will be yellow in color and have symbolism characteristic of ratna.

Generally one can feel that certain people have the quality of earth and solidness, and certain people have the quality of air, rushing here and there, and other people have the quality of warmth and a presence connected with fire.
