Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 21, 2002 Staff Share Posted February 21, 2002 Dear Peck Wun,Thank you for bring up a very interesting question.1. White not just belong to metal element but in the greater picture of Feng Shui - white represents yang.2. The most yang colour is considered red. But white or off-white, because of its good `reflective' qualities is good in a house.3. As overall, a house should be more yang than yin. Unless one is a hermit, natural light is still the best. And white walls are therefore better for a home. Even when we turn on artifical light, white or off-white colours are better.4. I mentioned earlier that you had brought up a very interesting question. The rationale is also because Earth element is UNIQUE as compared to any of the other 4 elements:-4.1. The rationale for this is that `earth' is everywhere. And earth element is inabundant.This is why earth element is at the `centre' of any house.4.2 In the Five element seasons it is also interesting to note that there are four seasons and each season represents an element (each). But what is unique about earth element is that it is predominantly all year round. And in particular in a simple cycle of seasons:-Spring comes...Before spring `dies' earth becomes predominant before the next seasonAnd goes away...Summer comes...Before summer `dies' earth becomes predominant before the next seasonAnd goes away...Autumn comes....Before autumn `dies' earth becomes predominant before the next seasonAnd goes away...Winter comes...Before winter `dies' earth becomes predominant before the next seasonAnd goes away...4.3 This information gives us a clue or show us that EARTH element is always predominant. And although it does not represent an element i.e. Winter = Water element.Earth, continues to be strong all year round.4.3 Therefore, for those born with the Earth element e.g. even if the person is a Weak Earth person -- metal element in general does no great harm e.g. painting say the house white.5. In fact, it could be a `blessing' in disguise. The rationale for this is because all the worst elements in Flying Star Feng Shui e.g. #5 misfortune and #2 sickness is attributed by being earth elements therefore.Therefore, in both Yin and Yang concept, white = bright and in Flying Star -- it does no harm to have more metal element applies.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 2/20/2002 9:37:00 AM, Anonymous wrote:Hi,If I paint white for theliving room, as suggested thebest colour for everybody,would it be no good for peopleof earth?White equal to metal and metalis no good for earth.Thanks.Peck Wun.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 23, 2002 Staff Share Posted February 23, 2002 Dear Peck Wun,Off-white refers to a colour that is white but has a tinge of grey. Or it can also be considered as white with very light shades of other pigments e.g. red, blue, green or yellow.When one look at off-white colour, it is exactly white but slightly duller white. Many of the new paints are white in colour but when we look it at an angle, it looks more like the e.g. pink. Here, very minimal pink is added to these colours.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 2/23/2002 10:19:21 AM, Anonymous wrote:Hi Cecil,Please advise what does itmean by off-white?Thanks.Peck?
