How to Use Colors

To Improve

Your Life

If you want to take advantage of feng shui in your life then

colors are the simplest way to do so. Colors can be

extremely powerful because they bring the expression of

light to the life. Too many offices starve for light and

decrease the amount of productivity from human lives. A

strange thing is that people do not come to know that they

can bring their productivity and cheerfulness by changing

colors of their surroundings.

The most basic color principle of feng shui is known as the

‘Five Elements Color Cycle’. This principle makes use of five

feng shui elements in a proper way for achieving desired

results.

You may or may not know but the five elements of feng shui

are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. All these elements

interact with each other in a certain way and create two

types of cycles –productive cycles and destructive cycles.

Color Cycle

If we use colors in our surroundings according to productive

cycle then we may get a cheerful and powerful experience in

our life. On the other hand, if we make mistakes in choosing

colors according to productive cycles the negative energies

may hurt your productivity badly.

Every feng shui element is represented by a specific color.

Given below are colors correspondent to the each element:

Wood: Brown and Green

Fire: Red, Orange, Strong Yellow, Purple and Pink

Earth: Light Brown, Sandy and Light Yellow

Metal: Grey and White

Water: Black and Blue

Understanding the perfect way of using colors to balance the

energy of your home is a quite complex topic, but as you

may assume, there are always basics to everything. The

right placement of feng shui colors is defined by using bagua.

Bagua stands for the feng shui energy map of your home or

office.

The energy of South seng shui bagua area relates to your

reputation and fame. In simple words, that area relates

to Light because fame and reputation have good relationship

with light. And light comes from Fire. So the southern area of

your space relates to the Fire element. It means that you

should use only Red, Orange, Yellow, Purple and Pink

colors in that area. Any other colors including Blue, Green

and so on shouldn’t be used.

Similarly, Green color is just fantastic for improving health of

every family member when used in the East feng shui bagua

area. Blue color in the North bagua area is a good choice for

career growth. On the other hand, blue color in southern or

eastern area is good for wealth and money.

Placement of some strong yellow color in the southern area

is excellent for good times and happy gatherings. Pure white

color in the West bagua area will work extremely well for

supporting all other elements and for increasing creativity in

the members.

One more thing should be remembered while choosing

these settings. You should check the lighting conditions of

your home throughout the day before doing these

placements. Will your chosen colors look brighter in

morning? How are they going to look like in the artificial

lighting of night? So check out the lighting conditions first

and then choose a pattern according to these settings.
