Christopher Hills identifies this faculty with the colour green.   It would seem to correspond to the introvertive or yin polarity of the lower emotional body.  This is the second energy field body in  in Barbara Ann Brennan's system of etheric-auric bodies.

Concerning this personality type Christopher Hills says

Self-assertive type

The desire for power to survive and store up energy and "vital form" causes individuals to expend energies to get them.   The need for emotional and spiritual security leads to feelings of lack   Such individuals seek the effectiveness and power to assert themselves in the community.  Jealousy caused by loss or control over the love object needs to he dealt with when arising from the possessive instincts. This relates to self-centred love fixations, love/hate emotions, power and feelings of absorption and attention. Self assurance and confidence may camouflage unacknowledged self doubts. Experiences time past present or future depending on each situation and its threat to security.

This would presumably be the same as the Introvert sensation-Feeling type of Carl Jung.

The green colour is also associated with the plant kingdom (chlorophyl).  In modern astrology Virgo is associated with gardening.  Medieval astrology also equates virgo with the intestines, hence the navel chakra again.  Virgo is also associated with healing, which ties in with Hills' refrence to the "vital force".
