The Colors Of Feng Shui

Here is a Look-Up for Colors and their meanings.

Black

Black is the color of mystery. It also provides protection. It symbolizes nighttime when it gets dark, and it also represents an empty space. Even with that, it provides intensity to any area. If it is used often, it can translate into a heavy atmosphere. Black is also used to provide strength.
This color can be used in the East, North and Southeast. It should not be used in the South. It can be used in a child’s bedroom, but not a lot. It can also be used in the common areas of your home.

If you’re trying to attract career opportunities, it can be used in the North area of anyone’s space. Black can be combined with white to be used on furniture.

Brown

The color brown is used in the East, Southeast, and the South. The energy from this color provides plenty of nourishment. It can be associated with different foods and drinks, such as chocolate and coffee.

Brown can also be used for the common areas of your home. You shouldn’t use much of the color Brown for a child’s bedroom or the Southwest area. If there is too much of the color in an area, it may cause people not to take a step forward.

Green

This color represents revival and a fresh start. Green provides nourishment and keeps peace in your life. When incorporated with Feng Shui, you should use different versions of green, instead of just one.

You can use plants that have fresh foliage. Green is also known to provide healing. It can be used more so in the South, East and Southeast areas.

There are different versions of this color that can be used in Feng Shui.

Red

When the colors for Feng Shui are used in the right format, your environment will be the recipient of good Feng Shui energy. The color red contributes to the Fire Element to provide energy.

Fire can be considered as a creative aspect and a destructive aspect. Fire is a symbol for the sun and life and the energy that comes from it. With this Element in your home, you can experience happiness and a desire to be sexually fulfilled.

Red also represents passion and celebration. The Chinese use the color red for happiness and luck. In India, the color red is used for marriage and weddings, and in the West, the color red stands for romance and courage. When people decorate, the color red is used for richness. Careful consideration has to be implemented not to use too much red. Otherwise, it can provoke anger and excessive stimulation.

With Feng Shui, red can be used in children’s bedrooms with caution. It can also be used in the common areas of the home, such as the dining and living rooms and the kitchen area.

In the East, Southeast, West, and Northwest areas of your home, you can use the color red, but you are limited to how much you should use. Red is a perfect candidate to use in the South.

Orange

Orange has been nicknamed the “social” color. Orange is responsible for providing the energy from Feng Shui to engage in spirited conversations and to have good feelings in your home. When the winter season approaches, it can be a reminder of the summer season. Log fires also come into play with the color of orange.
Just like red represents fire, so does orange. It is not a good color for the areas of the West and Northwest. In addition to that, this color should not be seen in the East and Southeast.

These areas are controlled by other elements of Feng Shui.

Orange can be used for the common areas, such as the living and dining rooms, kitchen, and anywhere else where the environment can have action and lots of energy. It’s a good idea to have some Feng Shui products or accessories.

Since orange is considered a soft and warm color, it is easy to incorporate with Feng Shui. It is a beautiful sight to see as a sunset. It enhances the rooms and makes them stand out.

Purple

Don’t overuse the color purple. This color is very strong and has a relationship with the spirit. It is not recommended for use on the wall. It can, however, be used in a space where meditation is taking place. If you use this color at home, be very moderate about using it. You can use lighter colors. It can be used in the East South and West areas, with limitations.

A good way for the color purple to be implemented is to use the Feng Shui crystal Amethyst.

Pink

The color of love is pink. It can also be used to keep the energy calm. It also works to quiet the heart and provide it with lots of love. This color is used mostly in the Southwest area. It also is in line with marriage. When decorating, a soft pink is used. When there is hot and heavy energy, hot pink is used.

Pink is great to use for a bedroom of a little girl; what little girl wouldn’t want that color? Ok, there may be some, but they’re probably few and far between. There are several common combinations of pink that include pink and black and pink and green. Pink and green represent activity. Pink and black represents a retro style.

With Feng Shui, rose quartz crystals can be used for love. The crystals are a soft pink that soothes the soul.

Yellow

The color yellow reminds people of the sun. It can brighten up any space and provides an inviting atmosphere. You have many choices to choose from when it comes to yellow. This color is a better choice for a child’s bedroom and the family room.

If you have a dull-looking room, using the color yellow will provide it with lots of light. It provides the Fire Element, but in a softer format than the color Red does. It is easier to deal with on a larger scale. Yellow can also be used to provide self-esteem. If you use hot yellow, don’t use too much of it. Yellow can be used in the East and Southeast areas.

Gray

Gray is usually considered a dull color that doesn’t have much life. However, there is a shade of gray (noble gray) that is considered a little more upbeat than the regular color. Gray is used in the West, Northwest, and North areas of Ba-Gua.

It should not be used too much in the East and Southeast. Wood is the dominant Element in those areas. Believe it or not, gray can provide Feng Shui energy into most of the common areas in your home.

It can provide a clear focus to any space in your home. Gray also represents the energy of the Metal Element.

White

The color white represents Yoga rituals. With Feng Shui, it stands for quietness and innocence. It also stands for beginnings and endings. It has a clean and fresh focus. It can be used for Feng Shui purposes anywhere in your home.

In the East and Southeast, it’s not a good idea to use all white. You can use other colors to blend in with it.

You can have white space in your bathroom or mediation room. This will help with healing in your home. It can also provide possibilities never explored before along with a promising future.

Blue

Blue represents the clear skies and waters. It can be used in the East and Southeast of anyone’s space. Since blue is connected with Water, the energy is responsible for supplying nourishment to the Wood Element. It can also be used for decoration or art.

Blue can also be used as a color for ceilings. It’s been noted that students did better in their studies when they have a blue ceiling.

For harmony, a light blue color would work well. For peace and quiet, a dark blue color would work better. A deep blue color can be implemented in your bedroom to help to get to sleep.

For the South, West, and Northwest areas, deep blue should not be utilized much. Blue and white colors can be combined to provide energy.
