The Colors Of Feng Shui - Part 2.

Yellow

The color yellow reminds people of the sun. It can brighten up any space and provides an inviting atmosphere. You have many choices to choose from when it comes to yellow. This color is a better choice for a child's bedroom and the family room.

If you have a dull looking room, using the color yellow will provide it with lots of light. It provides the Fire Element, but in a softer format than the color Red does. It is easier to deal with on a larger scale. Yellow can also be used to provide self-esteem. If you use hot yellow, don't use too much of it. Yellow can be used in the East and Southeast areas.

Purple

Don't overuse the color purple. This color is very strong, and has a relationship with the spirit. It is not recommended for use on the wall.

You can have white space in your bathroom or mediation room. This will help with healing in your home. It can also provide possibilities never explored before along with a promising future.

Blue

Blue represents the clear skies and waters. It can be used in the East and Southeast of anyone's space. Since blue is connected with Water, the energy is responsible for supplying nourishment to the Wood Element. It can also be use for decoration or art.
