Feng Shui Colors - Use Color Orange for Good Feng Shui

<= Back to the Feng Shui Color Guide

When the feng shui use of color red is too intense for your home or office, go for the yellow and orange colors in your feng shui applications instead.

Color orange is often called the "social" color, as it creates the feng shui energy to promote lively conversations and good times in your home. In the winter especially it reminds us of summertime dreams, as well as resembles the cheerful flickering of deep and vibrant orange in the log fires.

Feng shui-wise, orange color represents the fire feng shui element and it is best in the following feng shui bagua areas: South (Fame & Reputation) and Southwest (Love & Marriage).

Avoid a predominant orange color-theme in the feng shui bagua areas of West and Northwest, as they are governed by the Metal feng shui element, and Fire melts the Metal in the feng shui cycle of five elements.

The other two feng shui bagua areas to avoid a strong presence of orange color are East and Southeast, as both are governed by the feng shui element of Wood. Fire burns the Wood in the interplay of five elements, thus the reason to avoid it in these two feng shui bagua areas.

The vibrant and happy orange color is an excellent feng shui choice for the living room, dining/kitchen, children's play area or anywhere in your space where you want to have a playful, lively and pulsating energy.

Usually, it is easier to bring orange color with feng shui decor accessories or just one feature wall, rather than a full room color.

The softness and warmth of orange makes it a feng shui color easy to live with. At sunsets the light in orange-themed rooms becomes beautifully golden and a nurturing feeling to remember.
