Favourable Colour

[myfs_94882]

One of my favourable colours is white. How do we classify the colour of silver & platinum then? Gray or white?

Dear Judy,
Under the Five Elements concept:-
1. Other than using colour, shapes is another consideration.
2. Thus, circle symbolises metal element. While rectangle or square represents earth.
3. Generally, white, silver, chrome or gold represents metal element.
4. If one takes a close look at a Chinese Luopan, one will notice that it is made up of an external square (represented by earth) and the inner plate is the Heaven plate.
5. The key to understanding here, is that the Heaven (Metal) plate is the key to our life. The Heaven (Metal) circular plate is akin to Heaven's Qi.
The Heaven qi is used to conqueror or neutralise earth imbalances e.g. the square plate.
6. This is why, often, any cure used in Feng Shui is the `metal element'.
7. Please note that I had mentioned: Heaven Qi - here, in one way, if we look at `light', light qi is another factor. Often, the light or natural light is one of the qualities of `colour'.
8. If one is not too sure, then,often one should use pastel shades or light colours.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
