what color to paint my shop's wall?

[myfs_77438]

Hello Cecil,
Happy New Year to you! I own a store whose front door faces South (fire). I'm a weak water, gua number is 7 (metal). What color should I paint the front wall since fire is not compatible with water and metal?
Thank you very much,
Hoa

Dear Hoa Luong,
Can I check with you:
1. What business are you in.
2. Can you describe the colour of your building frontage. And the colour of the front of your store.
3. Are there clear display glass area used?
4. What direction is your frontage of the store facing? E.g. facing east/west?
5. Is there a pedestrian passageway at the front and are there opposite shops facing your shop? or is it a street? If there is a shop opposite yours can u describe what colour is it's facade.
6. What material is your door e.g. wood and what is the existing colour.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hello Cecil,
to anwer your questions:
1. I just recently purchased a gas station with a convenient store. This convenient store is what I'm asking you about.
2. The building is made of steel painted greyish white, and the frontage of the store was also painted greyish white.
3. About 24 inches from the ground up in the frontage of the store is solid steel painted greyish white. The rest of the front is all glass. Right now, the lower half of the glass frontage is covered up with a black film so you cannot see through it. The upper half is all clear see-through glass wall.
4. The frontage of the store faces South, and so does the front door.
5. In front of the convenient store is off course the gas dispensers. Beyond that is the street. Across the street is another business building with small shops. This building across the street is painted a light grey color.
6. Despite my building is steel, the front door for the convenient store is made out of wood. A large section in the middle of the front door is all clear glass. I painted the wood part of the front door the color RED when I just bought the gas station. I had read somewhere that the red color will bring good luck if the front door is painted red. So far none of my customers had complained about the red color. But ever since I started learning Feng Shui, I don't know if the RED color for the front door and the BLACK film that covers the lower half of the front glass wall are good for my business since red is fire and black is water and my POD best element is metal and second best is water. I'm a weak water with a gua number of 7 metal. According to my eight-house report, the south direction (fire) is a spook direction.
Any feedback you give me in term of what color is best for the frontage of the store (the lower half of the glass wall and the front door) would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Hoa

Dear Hoa Luong,
Thanks for your many clarifications.
Yes, overall, red is considered an auspicious colour. From your information, I personally feel that it is OK for you to continue with the red painted frontage doors of your convenience store. And this should not have any adverse contrast with the `water' grey colour.
Overall, red is indeed an auspicious colour for business. In particular, for example, if it has brass ornaments on it (not compulsory thou).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
