The Buddhist tantric color symbolism is covered extensively (passim) in Dina Bangdel's† and my Circle of Bliss: Buddhist Meditational Art, 2003. Although  long out of print, it is available under both my listing and Dina's listings on Academia.edu.

Students are asking me for readings for their essays, and I'm slightly stumped for good suggestions on these two.  Can anyone point to some good studies of these topics?   

I am particularly interested in colour readings in relation to the health sciences and alchemy, but anything will do!  I know about Martha Selby's 2005 "Narratives of Conception" article and its remarks on red/white distinctions in ayurveda.

Regarding the senses, I haven't yet checked the Brill encyclopedia, and I will.  Probably there's something in Dasgupta, Hist. Indi. Philosophy.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Best,
Dominik
