See the Difference Feng Shui Color Can Make for You
Those familiar with Feng Shui know that this science has special colors associated to each of the eight areas a home is divided into by the Oriental system. Each Feng Shui color plays a major role in influencing the prosperity and luck of your life, has a different meaning and connotation. Let’s take a look at the colors of the rainbow from a Feng Shui perspective.
The cooler end of the color spectrum is more suited for health and prosperity. Green symbolizes balance and harmony, while blue is a very soothing color that’s good for the sick and depressed people. Although you might not expect it, purple is the color for the4 god of riches, it seems, bringing prosperity and good health. It is an excellent choice for those who lack in finances or are always sick. Finally, indigo is best used in bedrooms as it induces peaceful slumber.
The warmer colors of the spectrum are good for creating energy. Red, in particular, as a Feng Shui color brings high energy and hence it is good to keep it in the drawing room, or other place where you need a high level of energy. This is definitely not a good color for the bedroom, however, unless you want insomnia. Orange as a Feng Shui color symbolizes revitalization, so it’s highly recommended for use in the kitchen and/or the children’s bedroom. The final warm Feng Shui color, yellow, symbolizes life; it also bring about vitality and a great deal of creativity.
The above are only the tip of the iceberg. There are many more things to do to create the right ambiance and the right impact on the house. Above all, you should keep the laughing Buddha just at the entrance, facing outward. If people comment on it, then the statue usually works well. If somehow people fail to notice, then the laughing Buddha is not working.
The colors usually need to match the inhabitants in the house. People have been heard many times vouching that the application of Feng Shui color principles really works. You will need to match the personality of the person very closely to that of the house and then to that of the color. Feng Shui color really works if placed correctly in the area that it needs to enhance. With the help of Feng Shui you can do absolutely anything; unfortunately not everybody buys these aids understanding what they are really needed for and how soon they will work.
Many people are aware of the fact that there is a Feng Shui color chart, which can be very useful at times, particularly when you are in a jam in finding a remedy for a major flaw in the building, such as a declining number of customers. However, you should understand in the first place that the Feng Shui color chart is actually a tool which can help you regularize the energy of any room be in any home or office.
People believe that the Feng Shui color chart is the answer to their problems. All they need, they think, is to know what the color means and how it helps or harms. One of the most common mistakes in this field is that most people think that if they choose a signature color, then their bedroom, their study room, even the entire house, has to be in the color that they had chosen.
However, this is not the way to use the Feng Shui color chart to your advantage. You need to actually find out in what area the room is, what is the energy level requirements within that room, i.e. is it for sleeping? Work?—and find out whether it is possible to incorporate certain changes, usually small, in order to improve the positive energy in that region.
The most beneficial color in your environment should be matched to a large extent, if not totally, with that of your birth date. However, if you need to choose the color between the area’s color and the present coloring, it is better to choose the area’s color because that will give better respite.
The combination of colors and other Feng Shui additions help people to become better in all aspects. You should learn which color stands for what, so you can apply its prowess to the areas that are lacking in your house and life. In this way, you will find that water is represented by all colors of blue and black; green is the color attached to wood; red is for fire, passion and anger; and earth, which is represented by the color orange and metal gray. Once you understand each color’s element, look at the color chart of Feng Shui and decorate to suit your wishes. If done correctly, feng shui can pull a person up from a beggar to king, and vice-versa.

Feng Shui bedroom color. Need help!?
I’m new to Feng Shui, so sorry for the beginner question. I’m looking to paint my bedroom, and have been doing my research, but I’m still confused. Here’s some background information:
My gua number is 6 (1985), the front door of the house points NE, and the house was built in 1989. If it makes a difference, the house is on a cul-de-sac, which I don’t think is the best for energy flow.
My room falls in the upper-left corner of the bagua map. Currently all the walls are white, tan carpet, with the hallways of the house having brown hardwood floor. The roof of the house has red tile and receives a lot of sun, so I believe that’s creating a lot of yang energy.
The only direction I can place my bed is SE, which for me is the Huo Hai (mishaps) direction.
I’m thinking about painting the SE wall a darker shade of red with the rest of the walls either a stone gray or a taupe color. I red somewhere that painting certain walls can attract spirits, but I haven’t been able to find much information about this. My furniture is currently dark brown wood, but I can change the color if needed.
Am I looking at the right colors? If not, what colors should I consider? I read that you should use earth colors for the bedroom, but I’m confused because I’m not sure how my element color would affect this. Can someone please shed some light on this for me? I’m trying to learn all I can and would appreciate all the help I can get.
ask sum1 with feng-shui how to work it.

i see that you know 8 mansions method. but it just seems that you dont know other methods such as flying stars, which is more useful than 8 mansions (east-west).
forget about colors, they are irrelevant as far as fengshui is concerned.
and yes, having a house in a cul de sac is nt a good idea.
i dont really believe in remedies. becaue in fengshui there is no such thing as a bad thing remedied into a good thing. it is always bad thing made dormant, until the right time comes, and the bad thing will still happen whether you have the remedy in place ot not.
regarding the main door facing to northeast, which in fengshui is subdivided into 3 parts. ne1 has its own flying star chart, while ne2 and ne3 have the same chart (different from ne1).
ne1:
the best part to have your bedroom is the northeast part, because it has a 141 combination. (in flying stars method, numbers are used to represent energies to make analysis easier). secnd good location is the center of the house (417).
ne2 and ne3:
west of the house: 689, good for business (not bec of 8 mansions that this is also your success direction, but bec of 68 – which is success on property business); sw:144, good for love, again not because of 8 mansions, 14 = love, education.
i dont know why people are so focused with bedrooms. the thing in fengshui is that you need your house to have at least 70% have good fengshui, or you its goodness wont be effective. the other thing is that the bedroom is for health. then the kitchen or the position and facing of the stove is for your financial well being; it also attracts wealth into your life.
facing a bed is not really critical in fengshui. so we usually use 8 mansions method just to enhance other methods like flying stars.
