Aura was originally an indicator of a user's voting disposition; the system automatically set the users aura according to the proportion of the users' Blams to Protects. However, after the 2007 redesign users have selected their own aura. There are currently five selectable auras: Light, Neutral, Dark, Evil, and Fab, as well as a special Gold aura, which is mandatory for admins and mods, and a Bot-specific purple aura, used by P-Bot, A-Bot and M-Bot. There were originally three auras, Light, Neutral, and Dark. However, after the redesign on the site on July 16, 2007, Fab and Evil were added; the Dark aura became gray and the Evil aura took its place as the red aura.
The different auras are displayed below as follows:

Special Auras
At certain points in Newgrounds history, Newgrounds Level Icons have been replaced with special icons, which may have special aura colours. Some of them are shown below.

The Fab Aura and the Term "Fabbot"
The Fab aura had become a fad on the Newgrounds BBS; many male users chose it and went under the name "fabbot", a play on the homosexual slur "faggot" and encouraged others to do so. It implies homosexuality; however, users with Fab auras are not necessarily gay, nor does the aura actually reflect sexual preference.
