When feng shui use of the color Red is too intense for your space, go for Orange and Yellow colors in your feng shui applications instead. 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 log fires.
Feng Shui-wise, Orange represents the Fire element and it is best in the following feng shui Ba-Gua areas: South (Fame & Reputation) and Southwest (Love & Marriage). Avoid a predominant Orange-theme in the feng shui areas of West and Northwest, as they are governed by the Metal element, and Fire melts the Metal in the feng shui cycle of five elements.
The other two feng shui areas to avoid a strong presence of Orange color are East and Southeast, as both are governed by the element of Wood, and Fire burns the Wood in the interplay of five elements.
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 it with feng shui decor accessories or 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.
