Feng Shui In Canada - Learn The Colors

By Adrian McCluskey

We all have our favorite colors. With the art of feng shui, the use of color takes on an importance beyond whether we like it or not. Learn how color plays a role in your home's tranquility.

Wood, metal fire wind and earth are the five elements essential to feng shui philosophy. There is a color or group of colors associated with each element and the energy it exudes.

Earth - According to feng shui ideology, beige and light shades like a pale yellow are associated with the Earth element and Earth is responsible for promoting stability in our lives. These shades brighten us up leading to a feeling of anything is possible.

Fire - Associated colors in the element of fire are orange, bright yellow, pink, purple and red. Passion or heat is what comes to mind when thinking of fire. Either is an apt description of fire and as you might imagine fire gets your heart going which in turn creates energy.

Wood - The wood element is synonymous in feng shui with life and prosperity. Trees burst with life; brown wood and lush green leaves that provide life. Brown for the wood and green for the leaves are the colors of Wood.

Metal - Metal is the element responsible for bringing clarity to your life with its well defined shapes and lines. White and gray are the colors of metal.

Water - Water is an element that represents abundance and a refreshing spirit. When you bathe in water it makes you feel clean. Using the colors of blue and black in your home promotes that purity.

The use of color in your home is not just about painting the walls. It's also about the furniture, the accent pieces and the artwork in the room as well. I encourage you to let the feng shui energy map be your guide and then invigorate your home with vivid colors that heighten the energy vibration. Don't be afraid of using colors. Instead, be bold and you'll be happily surprised by the results.
