The colors unfortunatly are not related to the chakra colors. Im not saying those are never seen, but the entire aura is usually strong in a single color for everyone. Black areas are illness and can be seen to interfere with the aura more than being one with it. Really the workouts provided in the linked web site help so much, be warned at first you only want to do this for 7 to ten minutes. Headaches will follow if you push it. Its almost like crossing your eyes. Along with that i was careful with my diet while doing aura work. Diet controls how sensitive you are. As for backgrounds i ignore it completely. If you have time to look to the background and back at the person your focus is not streamlined enough. It has to be like a single pointed meditation on the person you are "scrying". Than go back and see how the background would have interfered afterwards. Because it does change the aura, as do certain clothes. The other things to do is get the focus you want on someone and than shut your eyes you will see a lingering color pattern that is there aura.
You can also see a halo later in your studies this is most important.
When studying the persons Aura I try to use a white background but I never thought to close my eyes and see the outline. Glad you said that. Another good thing to study animals i found that my dog has an amazing purple Aura. (IMG:
