Hi,
Off-hand, it is hard to say what is the best colour for say a building. For a home, the most common colour is `neutral' white if it is the plastered walls.
I guess, white is good as it is `better' at deflecting light than dark colours which aborb heats. This also depends on the country you live in. Usually if one is not using white, usualy pastel light shades of colours are acceptable.
If one's side of the house is say facing a Yin location e.g. a cemetry, one should try to use a Yang colour to `offset' or neutralise the Yin qi.
For a building, if one is using Feng Shui, you may need to consult a Feng Shui consultant to look at the surrouding and recommend a solution.
The purpose of looking at the surrounding is to identify the type of buildings which surrounds your building and try to build a building that can "consume" buildings that surrounds yours. For example, if neigbouring building is a `metal building' you can build your building as a `fire building'. Here, your fire (element) building can engulf the `metal building' resulting in the creation of wealth.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
