Browse Forums Feng Shui Re: Roof colour and fengshui? 2Jun 04, 2007 5:34 pm I'm very new at understanding Feng Shui, but my understanding is black or dark colours are not desired on a roof due to them encouraging the black tortoise.
And as you say blue is no good because it represents water and it is not good to live with water over your head. I'll check in some of my books see what I can find. If you're thinking light grey I could not see any reason why not. Grey represent metal, and this should be a good thing. More later Steve Re: Roof colour and fengshui? 4Jul 27, 2008 11:15 am Sorry to pull up an old thread....Steve did you end up finding out about roof colours? I'm having red, is that any good? What about a red front door?
Also as far as facades go, are there any rules? For example, doors lighter than bricks or vice versa. Colours that shouldn't be used, or colour combos that shouldn't be used? Any help from anyone would be great. Jo And Bel, ignore this thread!! You're confused enough!!! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Idiots are fun, that's why there is one in every village! - Dr. House - Re: Roof colour and fengshui? 14Oct 03, 2009 9:56 am In old time in China, there were rules for colouring the roof, the wall, the main door and so.
There are three different colouring rules. 1 for the Emperor, like the Palace. 2. For general citizen, and 3 for religious buildings. Now in China, most of them do not follow the rules. For general citizen, the colour normally arrange in this way. Roof: Green, In Wu Xing (Five Elements) Green is Wood. Wall: Red, Red is Fire. In Wu Xing Theory. Heaven the sky is Metal Rain is Water. Roof Green is Wood. Wall Red is Fire The House is sitting on the Earth. So we have this arrangement. It is in the Wu Xing enhancing cycle. Metal --> Water --> Wood --> Fire --> Earth (The Home) If you look at the European countries, most of the roofs are red. As red is fire which controls Metal. Metal is the respiratory system. Most Europeans their respiratory system is relatively weaker. My walls of the house is reddish. so I had my own roof painted green. A few years ago, I designed a house for a friend in Fairfield using the above colour rules for his house. He has been doing very well. Of course the facing, layout, kitchen/bedroom/toilet are important too. Cheers! Edgar (Lok Tin) Yung
