Here is one of my favorite quotes from HPB on the aura:

"Not only adepts and advanced Chelās, but also the lower order of 
Psychics, such as clairvoyants and psychometrists, can perceive a 
psychic Aura of various colours around every individual, 
corresponding to the temperament of the person, within it. In other 
words, the mysterious records within the Auric Egg are not the 
heirloom of trained Adepts alone, but sometimes also of natural 
Psychics." 

". . . Every human passion, every thought and quality, is indicated 
in this Aura by corresponding colours and shades of colour, and 
certain of these are sensed and felt rather than perceived. The best 
of such Psychics, as shown by Galton, can also perceive colours 
produced by the vibrations of musical instruments, every note 
suggesting a different colour. As a string vibrates and gives forth 
an audible note, so the nerves of the human body vibrate and thrill 
in correspondence with various emotions under the general impulse of 
the circulating vitality of Pranā, thus producing undulations in
the psychic Aura of the person which result in chromatic effects."

The Secret Doctrine, Volume III (1897), pp. 508-509.
