Colors are considered of secondary importance in Feng Shui. According to the teachings of Feng Shui color is everything and color is nothing which is similar to the Tao teachings and Yin /Yang philosophy.

Every color has a unique vibrational frequency and the objective is to bring them all into balance with each other and all other energies in the environment. The frequency of colors goes from one extreme to the other with red at one end and purple at the other not unlike the chakras which start at the base as red ,then orange, yellow, green, blue , purple, and then iridescent at the crown. This pattern can be used as a reference for one way in which you can select colors for your interior as well as exterior. In other words, have a representation of each of the chakra colors in your home with none of them over-powering and you will probably have a balanced color pattern in your home.

Another way to use colors is to use the colors of the five creative elements in Feng Shui which would be Green (wood), Red (fire), Yellow (earth), White (metal), Black (water). According to this theory you would incorporate one of each of these colors in each room.

Compass Direction	Color
NW & West (Metal)	Gold or white
East & SE (Wood)	Green or brown
North(Water)	Blue, black or grey
South (Fire)	Red, pink or purple
NE & SW(Earth)	Yellow

In general, the significance of colors is as follows:

• Red is auspicious and considered one of the luckiest colors associated with good fortune and prosperity by the Chinese.
• Green is tranquility and longevity.
• Yellow is authority is the color of the emperor.
• Blue is heavenly blessings and white is purity.
• Black is associated with money and honor.
• White is a symbol of purity and a virgin and is the color of mourning.

The north wall of the house could be painted in blue or grey while the south wall in pink or purple. It is NOT necessary to follow the above guidelines. Why? For practical reasons, you can paint the entire house in `neutral colors such as white or in any `light pastel' Shades. Soft colors signifies YIN or ` female'. Bright colors Signifies YANG or `bright' or strong colors.

What colors are best for me? Wear the colors that complement your `true element' after you have analyzed your Pillars of Destiny.

I have drawn out a `color' chart based on my own experience with the use of colors in relation to the Pillars of Destiny where the main element of a person is considered `Strong' for easy reference:

Your Element and it's strength	Suggested Bedroom Color	Avoid this Color
Strong Wood	White	Blue
Strong Fire	Light blue or grey	Green
Strong Earth	Light Green	Red
Strong Metal	Pink or Light Purple	Yellow or Brown
Strong Water	Yellow or brown	White

Below is a color chart for those whose element is Weak:

Your Element and it's strength	Suggested Bedroom Color	Avoid this Color
Weak Wood	Blue	White
Weak Fire	Green	Black or Blue
Weak Earth	Red, Pink, Purple	Green
Weak Metal	Yellow or Brown	Red, Pink or Purple
Weak Water	White	Yellow or Brown
