There is a Feng shui theory behind the best color for your home’s exterior and it is based in part on the orientation of the home. Each house has an orientation; faces a certain direction that can be defined with a compass. There are eight basic directions: north, south, east, west, northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest.
The true character or strength of a house is determined by its “seating direction”, which can be described as the back of the house. A house facing North will “sit” in the South. If you as a person face east then your back is to the west, so it’s the same notion with houses.
When you know which is the living side of your house, that direction is associated with a complementary element and colors. Below is a chart that defines a house based on its sitting side. You just have to remember that the seat is almost always the opposite of the front side because almost all houses have parallel front and back walls.
Below is a list of the sitting sides of a house and the ideal exterior colors for it:
North (water): blue, white or gray support or matching
Northeast (Earth): supportive or matching beige, reddish tones
East (Wood): Solidarity or game or blues
Southeast (wood): supporting or matching greens or blues
South (Fire): Supporting or Matching Reds or Greens
Southwest (Earth): Solidarity or Matching Yellow, Brown, or Red
West (Metal): Supporting or Matching White, Grey, Yellow, or Brown
Northwest (Metal): Supporting or Matching White, Grey, Yellow, Brown
The theory is that you can use an exterior color that matches the type of house or a color that reinforces the element associated with it. For example, a house facing north is an “aqua” type house and any shade of blue is aqua. So that would be a stable color for the exterior. But in the cycle of the elements, metal strengthens water, so metallic colors like white and gray are also complementary for that type of house.
When a house type has a supportive exterior color, it makes the house stronger, warmer, and therefore the occupants can feel healthier and more productive.
To use the same five element theory, if the exterior color of a house has a dominating or debilitating effect, then the occupants will feel depleted or the house may demand a lot of their energy and resources, like the house we call the “Money”. “. Pit” because the occupants cannot save.
Below is a chart that shows the same seating directions, but the color or colors that would have a dominant effect in that type of house, and therefore No recommended.
The house is located north / noxious exterior colors = yellow or brown
The house is located to the northeast / Harmful colors = green
The house is located to the east / Harmful colors = white or gray
The house is southeast / Noxious colors = white or gray
The house is in the south / noxious colors = blue
The house is to the southwest / noxious colors = green
The house is located to the west / Harmful colors = Red tones
The house is located to the northwest / Harmful colors = Red tones.
