Therefore, it is fully reasonable in the theory of feng shui to select colors that generate harmony according to the substances represented by the five elements and avoid colors that conflict.

First, the color of interior decoration will affect the feng shui of the residence. The Chinese believe that:

The main colors of clothing and palace decoration in the Forbidden City use golden yellow and vermillion to represent nobility and authority. Orange represents holiness. The traditional orange kasaya of monks represents the supremacy of Buddhism.

Operated with metal (cookware). Therefore, multiple colors such as red and cream can also be used in combination. And the main color of a fashion store can be light green and cream, and supplemented with elegant red and elegant blue for use.
