i have noticed that references are made to different colors such as yellow, red, blue, green, etc. purple is my favorite color. what group (east or west life) would that favor?? i read in another spot where red is favorable to me but blue is not. so with purple being red and blue mixed am not sure how to interpret. thanks.

Dear Aj,
1. There is a reference to the interpretation of colours at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/colours.htm
2. Yes, there are many `ways' Feng Shui practitioners interpret the use of colours.
3. In general, the safest colours for say a house is white.
3.1 As white represents the metal element and is usually, Metal element is predominantly used as a cure for both `bad' wood and `bad' earth elements under the Flying Star Feng Shui.
3.2 Of course colours are subjected to many many interpretations:
3.2.1 Some practitioners apply or advise colours based on `feelings'.
3.2.2 While other practitioners or usually books on Feng Shui may say that since North = Water element and Water is represented by blue, grey or shades of black, they may say that this could be the colour used.
3.2.3 Professional Feng Shui practitioners usually first determines a person's element and strength. For example, the person may be considered a weak fire person.
4. Next, the practitioner check the season of element strength e.g. from the luck pillar to see what element is dominating the period.
For example, where the person's element is weak fire and in the current 10 year period the predominat influence is water element.
5. Since, water may further drown the person, or extinguish his weak fire, here, one should avoid placing say an aquarium or fish tank in the home.
6. Since the person is a weak fire person, wood element (green or brown) would be nice to have e.g. when purchasing a car, green or even pink / red (fire element) would be nice.
7. For a couple, one can use the Pillars of Comparison at www.geomancy-online.com to look at the binding element for both parties. Here, if the binding element is wood element, for example if the husband is a strong fire person and wife is a strong water person, wood element (green or brown) would be useful to have in the room.
7. The above, is usually the method used by Professional FS practitioners when evaluating a person, the home and the specific room in relation to colours.
8. For a lay person who, does not want to follow the above, usually, we tend to choose colours unconsciously to what we like.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
