Halloween Orange and Black Color Combo: What's the Trick?

Monday October 27, 2008
halloween feng shui black and orange color tips Do you know why the "trademark" Halloween colors are orange and black? Why not any other color combination? Is there anything special about orange and black together?

Yes, there is.

Feng Shui-wise, these two colors are on the opposite energy spectrums, so to speak. Orange is a very lively and happy color, the color of fall bounty and the warmth of fire. Orange is often called the "social" color, as it creates the feng shui energy to promote lively conversations and good times in your home.

Black color, on the other hand, is the color of mystery and void. The color of a space with no beginning and no end, a space with an infinite creative energy incomprehensible to the human mind. Full of the feng shui energy of mystery and sophistication; black color also holds the energy of power and protection.

Do you see now why this is the perfect combination for a Halloween celebration? While a very social and fun day, it is also a day when many mysterious and even scary energy doors open, so you better watch your home closely :)

Just a bit of spice for your Monday - the week of Halloween - morning!
