Hello, I just recently bought a new house with stucco exterior. The roof tiles are dark grey and the exterior paint is a pastel greyish/blue with soft white square designs around the front pillar and one white solid line around the entire house, symbolically they appear to be square representing "metal".

In my opinion the roof represents 'water', the walls represents 'metal' and the soft white square design represents 'metal'.

Is this a bad Feng Shui combination or would it be better to paint the exterior walls a sage green with soft beige trim (square designs)? So that 'water' is over 'tree' or 'green'?

Dear Anon,

Generally, it is not advisable for the roof to be Blue / Gray as this normally means water over your head which symbolises difficulty in I-Ching. Thus, often it is better to have roofs that are Red colour.

For this, cream colour should be avoided. White colour (metal) is better. Sage Green is ok, but soft beige should be avoided.

Hope that helps.
