Color Meanings in Feng Shui
“Feng Shui is a Chinese metaphysical and quasi-philosophical system that seeks to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment.” Feng shui uses colors to influence and adjust the energy in a space. Each color carries positive and negative energy. Color greatly impacts how we feel in a space. You can use the general color rules of feng shui to alter and guide the energy in your home. Here are 5 colors and their meanings in feng shui:
Yellow, like the sun, brings warmth, happiness, and renewed energy. If you’re feeling that your living room or kitchen is looking and feeling a little dull, incorporate yellow accents to brighten up your space.
Blue is one of the more serious tones in feng shui. Like the ocean, blue represents the unknown. Depending on the tone and the color it is paired with, blue can create a curious energy or a calming environment.
Green promotes peace, balance, and growth. To maximize the most out of its feng shui energy, incorporate different shades of green, by using houseplants or wall paint.
Red evokes passion and symbolizes strength. It is one of the most powerful colors in feng shui – it can stimulate aggression or boost excitement into a room. It is best to avoid red colors in a room that is supposed to be a restful and relaxing space.
White symbolizes purity, new beginnings, and clarity. White also relates to winter, which is a time of rest. You can use white colors in a room to encourage a restful state of mind.
