To get the optimum feng shui in your home and lives it is important to take the role of colors into account as different colors have different yin and yang energy, which produces different kinds of effects.

Yin energy is passive energy and gives an unreal effect on a person. Yang energy is active energy and makes you more passionate about whatever you do.

Ying colors induce the effects of healing and relaxation. But in case you want some energy to do your office work or the children need to study, then there must be some yang colors so that the dreaminess can be neutralized. Let us discuss the effects of the various colors.

Black symbolizes:

income and money in feng shui, so it brings about good luck and fortune. The combination of black and metal is extremely good for the advancement of your career. You can use the combination in simple tools like mobile phones and pens.

Blue:

gives a soothing and calming effect. You can also use it to heal your body and mind. It is also the symbol of trust and peace. Since this is the color of the sea and sky, it promotes your creative side. Blue can also be used in your bedroom as it helps relax the body and mind and thus allows you to get sound sleep.

Purple:

is the symbol of spiritual awareness. The color often heals the physical and mental side of an individual as it has amazing healing properties. You must have some objects in purple in your home as it helps in maintaining great health.

White: 

is the symbol of confidence, purity and balance. White can match any other color. It produces an extremely relaxing and relaxed atmosphere especially when matched with gold and silver.


Bright colors:

like red, orange and yellow are very intense and have yang energy or very positive energy in them. This provides residents with much needed motivation and enthusiasm.


Feng shui considers yellow:

to be an extremely auspicious color representing joy, friendship and warmth. To undo the lazy and too relaxed atmosphere of your home, the use of yellow is highly recommended. Orange has intense yang energy and it can improve your attention towards work.


Although knowing about the effects of colors may help you, it is better to adhere to the following guidelines to determine which colors are suited for which rooms in your home.
