Feng Shui & Color
Have you ever walked into a home and it immediately felt right? It might have been because of the Chinese art of arranging one’s life in accordance with the forces of the universe. This art is rooted in a sensitivity to nature, is over 7,000 years old and is called Feng Shui. The practice of Feng Shui is also a science with diagnostic equipment, mathematical formulas and specialized terminology. The use of color in Feng Shui is driven by your particular circumstances at that moment of choice. An example of a Feng Shui driven color choice would be – soft tones of color are ideal for bedrooms such as warm pink tints and pale peach shades as well as colors in the red spectrum — eggshell, magnolia, beige and light tan. However light colors in the blue/green spectrum are also great for bedrooms as well as sitting rooms and bathrooms. All of these colors are ideal for creating a soft relaxing effect. However in the practice of Feng Shui, if you should use the red spectrum or the blue/green spectrum would depend on many different factors directly related to your home placement, your balance of yin and yang at the time of choosing.
