What shade of blue are you?
Blue is one the the most favorite colors in the World, but it is a tricky color for feng shui! In Western culture blue usually represents water or the sky. In feng shui it also can represent water or the sky. So, which shade of blue is supportive to you?
Cyan, a blue that is warm, is not a representation to fire, rather it is a metal blue. Supportive to the elements of water and metal this blue is special.
Mid to Navy blues are supportive to water and is as close to black as one can get when going for the element of water. But, be careful there are shades within this generality that can hold the energy resonance of fire, earth, metal or wood. Any blue that looks more like the night sky than the deep sea will resonate more with fire than with water. Always side with water if there is any question. Water is an element that destroys fire in feng shui.
Light to mid blues usually represent the element of fire rather than water, but again be cautious there are shades of this blue that may represent that of metal, wood, water and earth.
Blue greens are wood energy. The more green, the more likely it is wood, however turquoise is an earth blue as is azure blue.
See blue is tricky and is so often feared in feng shui design , because it can cause the wrong reaction to a remedy, if you have it wrong.
Remember that a shade of blue from light to dark will resonate with one of the five elements of feng shui. Always consider the shade with great respect. Do NOT judge the shade of blue in haste. Ask yourself does this resonate in a reflective nature. If this shade of blue is reflective, you can be sure that it resonates metal. If the shade is deep and rich with a flow of liquidity about it, you can be sure it resonates with the element of water. If the shade of blue has inclusions and refractions, then you can be sure the shade of blue resonates earth. If the shade of blue is light, airy or twinkles, it is of the element fire.
Cyan is a metal blue, but add some inclusion of brown and it becomes turquoise which is earth. Take away it’s rich deep iridescent qualities and it becomes fire. Add more green to it and it becomes blue green algae which is wood. Darken it and it becomes water. Try this with any shade of blue and you’ll see that blue can be easily be used without any fear of making a wrong choice.
Blue is a color that can resonate as any element. The shade of blue for your own personal kua or energy signature is the shade of blue for you! So, look carefully and add or subtract from the shade that you like and it can be a supportive shade of blue. Use blue, wear blue and enjoy it’s wonderful chameleon like qualities.
