The Color of Wealth in Feng Shui

There are a number of different ways that you can use Feng Shui to attract wealth into your life. However, it's important to realize that the Chinese don't include only money as a measure of wealth; they believe that wealth encompasses everything else in our life as well, such as our family and health. By using Feng Shui, you will help give yourself the necessary support that you will require to achieve the wealth that you desire.

Colors Associated With Wealth

In Feng Shui, there are certain colors that you can use to enhance the wealth within your life; use them in paint colors, furniture, fabrics and wall art for the home. Purple is often used to represent the color of wealth, and green is a symbol of growth and vitality. However, purple is considered to be a color that has a very high energy, so it should be used carefully and sparingly. Additionally, the element of water is considered to be a symbol of abundance, and its colors are blue and black. Wood, another element in Feng Shui, has long been associated with health and vitality, and is an expression of abundance that is used in connection with wealth and prosperity as well. The colors associated with wood are brown and green. The element of earth is thought to nourish and give the relationships in your life stability, and its colors are beige and light yellow. If you desire more focus in your life, so that you can concentrate your pursuit of wealth,
the element of metal can help bring you that clarity; the colors associated with metal are gray and white.

Using the Colors of Wealth

In Feng Shui, the south-east corner of the house, room, or work space is considered to be the wealth area. By using wood elements in this area, with its colors of brown and greens, you can encourage the growth aspect of wealth. A nice way to express this element is to purchase Asian style floor vases online and fill them bamboo reeds.

Small elements of purple can also be used, perhaps in the form of crystals, so that it doesn't overpower the energy from the other elements. Black can be used to attract power and authority to your wealth area as well. The color blue, representative of the water element, can be used to enhance the wood element, encouraging the flow of wealth into your life.

Colors to use with Caution

The colors associated with the fire and metal elements can sometimes interfere with the flow of energy that is complimentary to wealth. Red is often used to direct energy to your endeavors, but red is often better confined to the south area of the room, to avoid it causing struggle. Likewise, the metallic colors of metal such as gold tend to work best in the west and northwest. However, you can use some red and gold if they are specifically associated with wealth, such as the traditional three gold ‘I Ching’ coins tied with a red ribbon. You can also use the metal colors to attract wealth by burning some white, silver or gold candles, to encourage having prosperity in all the various aspects of your life.
