Feng shui colors are really important because they are a representation of various elements. These different elements bring different positive elements into particular sphere. Before using feng shui symbols or any colors of feng shui, one just has to keep it in mind that these colors have to be used in the right places. Unless they are used in the right place, they would not bring any positive effect. In fact, putting the wrong symbol or the wrong sign somewhere could really promote some negative effects in the place.

So, here are some of the most important colors of feng shui and where they are used best.

Purple
Signifies: Fire element, high standards, affluence, luxury etc. Purple is a color that has always been associated with luxury, affluence etc. As a feng shui color, it is suggested that this color is used in moderation. This is a really vibrant color that might get a little too intense if it is overdone.
Since it is such a strong color, the decoration of a house using purple can be done using home décor elements such as art, pillows, flowers, paintings etc. instead of painting the walls that color or buying curtains that color.

Use it in: Purple is a color that is best used in healing rooms (bedrooms, if there are no healing rooms, because that is where people go to recuperate), meditation rooms or meditation spaces etc.

Pink
Signifies: Fire element, nurturing, soothing actions, love and romance

Pink has always been considered a color of romance and in fact, it is one of the feng shui colors for love. It can soften the energy in any place and make the energy more calming and soothing, rather than being overpowering. It is the most gentle of feng shui colors and it can have a soothing effect on a person’s mind and being as well. In fact, these are the two reasons that determine the two best places to keep pink in a house.

Pink can be kept in a person’s house in the form of pearls, for they are important symbols of feng shui and it is possible to get them in this color.
Use it in: It is best to use pink in the bedroom, of course, since it is one of the feng shui colors for love. It is also better to use these colors in the meditation areas or the living area of the house.

Grey
Signifies: Metal element, detachment, clear headedness

Feng shui is not all about being over the top or overpowering. It is not just about getting the energy, it is also about harnessing this energy and making it useful for people. Grey is the most composed color in feng shui. Grey is the color that can bring calming and soothing energy to a place and can help a person clear their mind about a lot of different things.

There are specific areas in the house where grey is used best. They are the west, northwest and the northern parts of the house.
Use it in: Since this is a color that restrains and calms, it is best to use it in the meditation areas.
One can also use them in office spaces, for they promote professional understanding and greater focus on the professional aspect and would calm the office tension around as well.

Black
Signifies: Water element, unknown, infinite knowledge Black is the color that symbolizes the night and the endless unknown. This is not a negative context in feng shui as it is in other traditions. In feng shui, the color black and what is represents is believed to add depth and definition to the whole structure. It also stands for securing knowledge and the promotion of knowledge pursuits as well.

Use it in: One can use black in the décor of the house, though painting the house black might really restrict the energy levels in the house. Hence, black can be symbolized through the decorations such as curtains, cushions, etc. One should certainly avoid using black in children’s rooms and also the bedroom.

White
Signifies: Metal element, innocence, purity and beginnings
The feng shui color of white is something that represents new things. It also stands for purity, innocence among all the colors. A pure white space is a sign of new opportunities and good thoughts as well. It can really help in promoting the feng shui nature and the general chi around the house.

Brown
Signifies: Wood element, strength, stability and base
Brown is a color that related feng shui with the natural world. It is associated with trees and plants and the good thing they stand for, such as their strength and their stability. It is also associated with the promise of prosperity, something that will allow people to lead a more luxurious life. Brown also signifies growing availability of money and prosperity among people.

Use it in: It is certainly one of the better feng shui colors for office. It can really promote the amount of money that comes into these places. Brown would also be really helpful in meditative spaces and at the entrance of the house itself. It would make sense for people to have some plants around in the house, or even a few trees, in order to integrate the natural phenomenon and elements of feng shui into their life, along with the color brown.
