Feng Shui and Color

 

 

Color plays an important role in making Feng Shui adjustments. In practical application, colors used will come from the family of shades, tones and tints within a broader classification derived from one of the five elements of the ch'i. The color red (fire element) includes orange and pink, yellow (earth element) includes cream and brown, and white (metal element) includes silvers. Similarly, black (water element) includes gray and dark blue, and green (wood element) includes blue, teal, and aquamarine.

To support or strengthen an area of the Ba-Gua

 

Add the color of the element associated with its tri-gram.

Add the color of the element that creates the element you wish to strengthen.

Add the color of the element that will conquer the element that poses a threat to the element associated with the tri-gram.

                                   

Notes:

The important principle is to activate the flow of ch'i.

The cycle of conquest (destructive order) can be very powerful.

The same methods may be applied to clothing outfits, and is very good for adjusting personal ch'i.
