How to lay out Feng Shui with colors

When choosing a suitable sun house to live in, most people pay more attention to whether the layout of the home is in accordance with Feng Shui, but forgets that the color of the house is also a key. In fact, color plays a very important role in home feng shui. From a psychological point of view, if the colors are not properly matched, they will often have different effects on the mood of the homeowner. From a scientific point of view, color is believed to have the power to affect the magnetic field, which not only affects the human visual nerve, but also affects the heart function, endocrine and central nervous system activities. To make an analogy: the color of the ceiling is best to be lighter than the floor color, in line with the principle of "clear and muddy". If the ceiling is not high, and the color is too heavy, it will make people feel oppressive.

From the perspective of feng shui, colors generally have three major differences: "general method", "principle method" and "different method".

1. General method

It is a common concept, that is, a universal feeling that a certain color will produce under the human visual perception. The general method is focused on the design of psychological attachments. E.g:?

Red-has strong and active characteristics;

Green-has a peaceful and comfortable feeling;

Yellow-has a tendency to make people feel friendly, happy and sensible, and stable;

White-a relatively neutral color, which makes people feel pure and lovely;

Blue-far-reaching, non-aggressive enlightenment;

Black-There is a frustrating and uncomfortable feeling, but some people think that black has a tendency to be unpredictable.

Although these are all universal feelings, different colors represent different meanings in the life customs of different races. For example, to the Chinese, red represents celebration and auspicious color. However, in Korean custom, if there is a funeral at home, it is represented by red cloth. Therefore, the color of the general law is generally based on "person" and "land" as the prerequisites, and will not have a decisive impact on the parties.

"Person" refers to the innate preference of the person concerned.

According to the study of color science, men prefer warm colors and women prefer cool colors; while young people prefer warm colors, and older people prefer cool colors. Warm colors make people feel energizing, active and forward, while cool colors have a relaxed, soft, calm and negative feeling.

"Earth" refers to the choice of colors in different places and at different times.

For example, in shopping malls, you need to choose exciting colors to stimulate the desire to buy. However, for a place to rest and think, a calm and peaceful atmosphere is required, so the calm color system is the most ideal.

2. Theory and Law

In other words, it is reasonable. In feng shui, color will have a certain effect on good and bad. There are several main systems for color theory:

(1) In terms of gossip, the color must match yin and yang to achieve a certain effect.

From a scientific point of view, color can only be effective when used with light. Generally, red, white, and yellow represent brighter pigments, while black, blue, and gray represent darker pigments. In Feng Shui, colors also have the difference between yin and yang. Please see the following color yin and yang table:

From the point of view of gossip, the color matching must be decided according to the situation of the house. If the yang energy of the home is too heavy (such as the sun is shining in the home on weekdays, even if it is close to dusk, the light will be dazzling), you should choose some colors with "yin" such as blue. On the contrary, if the light is not enough in the home on weekdays, and the same feeling is felt during the day, it is a yang house with too much yin. At this time, the pigment with "yang" such as yellow should be used.

When choosing colors, they must be coordinated with each other, and the various tones should not be too many, and the principle is just right. For example, most people think that blue is cool and refreshing, but if there is too much blue, it will make the home gloomy and depressed. Similarly, although red represents celebration, it belongs to Yang in Feng Shui, and it is also the Yang in Yang. If it is too heavy, it will make people become irritable, nervous, and lack endurance. Therefore, when choosing colors, it is best to use both yin and yang colors to coordinate with each other.

(2) According to the traditional Chinese Five Elements theory, the five elements are equipped with five-color attributes, which also cover time and orientation.

Ancient Chinese sages classified the universe into five basic components, called the "five elements", namely wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. In addition to representing directions, the five elements also have corresponding shapes, textures, and colors.

In Feng Shui, the five elements represented by colors are as follows:

? The five elements belong to the color of water-blue, gray, and black series.

The five elements belong to the color of wood-green, green and green series.

The five elements belong to the colors of fire-red, purple, and orange series.

The five elements belong to the colors of the earth-yellow, coffee, and apricot series.

The five elements belong to the colors of gold-gold, silver, and white series.

In feng shui, how to use the five element colors to adjust our human energy field is complicated and simple. In addition to knowing the colors of the five elements, we must also have some understanding of the basic relationship between the five elements, and then create a good visual effect to build a comfortable and unobstructed room atmosphere.

The relationship between the five elements: gold produces water, water produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces soil, and earth produces gold.

The relationship of the five elements against each other: gold inhibits wood, wood inhibits soil, soil inhibits water, water inhibits fire, and fire inhibits gold.

The five elements have the same relationship: gold sees gold, water sees water, wood sees wood, fire sees fire, and soil sees earth.

The relationship between the five elements: gold leaks soil, soil leaks fire, fire leaks wood, wood leaks water, and water leaks gold.

For example, if someone likes to arrange more green series at home, they can also consider some blue or black series at the same time, because of the relationship between aquatic wood in the five elements. Conversely, the red and purple series representing the "fire" of the five elements and the white series of "gold" in the five elements should not be used too much, because fire consumes energy to damage wood, and gold can overcome wood. In addition, the "earth" in the five elements, such as yellow and coffee, can be arranged in between.

3. Different ways

It is the method of handling individual cases. It is based on the homeowner’s birth year as the norm, calculates his own fate, and then cooperates with the "five elements" to convert it into color, and then understands the homeowner’s color preferences. Of course, some geomologists use the homeowner's own eight-character preference to calculate the color suitable for the homeowner.

Let's take a look at the use of colors in Feng Shui by orientation.

1. Oriental red

Traditionally, red represents joy, enthusiasm, and boldness. In Feng Shui, the East also symbolizes the spirit of youth and adventurousness. Therefore, placing some red furniture and decorations in the East, such as mahogany pendants, red carpets, etc., can make the family full of enthusiasm and benefit career and school.

2. Southern Lee Green

In feng shui, the south dominates inspiration and social skills, while green means vitality. Putting green plants in the south not only adds to the beauty of greenery, but also has a positive catalytic effect on interpersonal relationships.

3.Western yellow

Yellow has always been used to represent wealth, while the West is considered to be the dominant career and wealth. If you put yellow furniture ornaments such as citrine, it can bring strong wealth and make your career "yellow".

4. Northern Lily Orange

The north is in charge of the relationship between husband and wife, while orange means passion and unrestrainedness. If you want to enhance the relationship between husband and wife, you can place orange lamps, rugs, pillows, etc. in the north of the bedroom, which is beneficial to the relationship between husband and wife.

In Feng Shui, the ceiling represents the sky, the floor represents the earth, and the walls represent people. The color of the wall should be between the ceiling and the floor, that is, it should be darker than the ceiling and lighter than the floor, so that heaven, earth, and people can achieve harmony.

It is best not to use too much red or black as the main color in the house, because too red or too dark will make people have extreme impulses.

Color can affect a person’s psychology and emotions. In the field of psychologists and science, there have been positive research results: color has a great impact on our daily life. Whether we understand it or not, color can make us feel excited, Various emotional reactions such as laxity, anger or tiredness. Since colors have various psychological and emotional responses to people, the choice of colors is also very important when planning and designing residential and office buildings.
