There isn't one single color universally representing God across all religions and belief systems. However, several colors hold significant symbolic meaning in various contexts, particularly within Christianity.
Prominent Colors and Their Significance

Gold: This is arguably the most frequently used color to symbolize the divine. Many religious depictions feature golden halos around figures representing God or Jesus, signifying their holiness and connection to the divine. [Gold is the color most used to symbolize the Divine connection](reference text). This reflects gold's association with preciousness and value, mirroring the perceived worth of the divine.
