Significance of the colors

Of all times the yellow, in China, has been considered as the imperial color par excellence… and of this fact very respected but used little as such.

One prefers him the color saffron, mixture of red and yellow, therefore one moderating the other as the earth moderates fire and as fire transfers its excessive energy toward the earth.

In the tradition the bruise complicates represents the constancy, the perfection, the permanent evolution, the initiation and is therefore particularly intended to the pieces serving to the studies, to the teaching, to the intellectual or literary work.

The green represents the rebirth of the nature, germination, the vernal strength, the courage to undertake and is therefore particularly advisable for the rooms of the children and the young people.

The color turquoise bruise represents serenity, the permanence, kindliness, the calm authority and is destined therefore to the room of the parents.

The green emerald represents the wealth of the mind, intelligence, courage and the bravery and is indicated for the office of work.

The purple represents the majesty, the maturity, the authority conferred by the experience and is used therefore in the room of the big parents.

The purple is symbol of awakening of the mind what stays invisible to the common of the mortals, to the communication with the minds (Shen) and is reserved therefore to the domestic altar of the forebears.

The red represents joy, the feast, the vitality, the wealthiness and meet therefore in the living room as well as on the main door, generally under the shape of a charm or talisman.

The pink carmine represents the sensuality, the carnal contact, the well-being and was reserved to the boudoirs, alcoves and bathrooms.

The white represents the purity, the justice, the decision, the authority of fact and agrees to the rooms of audience where exercise itself the law. It is also the color that was used for the entry in order to purify the energies that enter and that take the house.
The white serves, in a way, in this particular case, of energizing sieve.

The gray is the color of wisdom, of the for a long time ripened experience, of the reflection and is used in the pieces where one wishes to recover calmness thanks to the meditation. It is the ideal color of the pieces where one wishes to expose some works of art… or of the library if this one is composed of old books.

The black is the color of the interiorization, of the creative immobility, of the return on oneself, of the humility… and is, well evidently, a difficult color to use… also the practitioners of the Feng Shui substitute him the “games of shades”… while playing with light on baffles or tissue papers.

In the houses one uses the shades produced by the plants gladly and more especially by the bonsa and bamboos and intended on a baffle thanks to a scholarly lighting.

Marriage of color

Although all is question of proportion and that all colors can cohabit to the only condition to know how to distribute them, some associations stay to advise against…

The black and the red, except if one searches for a violent and destructive effect are to avoid because water (black) extinct fire (red).

The yellow and the green end up provoking a sensation of uneasiness because wood (green) eats of the earth (yellow)… If one wishes to tempt this combination she/it is possible under the condition to make so that the green either really minority.

The white and the red make a bad enough household by fire (red) melts metal (white)… but the white with a simple red net becomes then energizingly acceptable.

The white and the green will only agree to the only condition that the green dominates the white because wood (green) is decided by metal (white).

If one uses the bruise and the green it is logical that the green either below (wood) whereas the bruise is in top (sky)…

In the same way it agrees to place the cold colors (Yin) below and the hot colors (Yang) in top.
In this optics him dark stays below and the clear in top… If one wishes to paint the walls of a piece of different colors better is worth to place the hot and clear colors in part Yang (is and South)… or left while the cold or dark colors, if one excepts the white, will stay in the Yin part (West and North). Besides the energizing polarization of the colors can change… when there is white and green, the green is considered like Yang (is) and the white as Yin (West)… but if there is black and white the black is Yin and the white is Yang!
