Feng Shui Best Paint Colors : Refresh Your Home with Harmonious Hues

In this article, we'll be talking about paint color trends and how to use them in Feng Shui. I'll be dissecting all the paint colors of the year for Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams and Bear, and talk to you about how to use them on the Bagua map in Feng Shui.

As most of you know, you need to overlay the Bagua map onto your entire home. Of course, this requires making a quick sketch of your home, including all the missing corners and sectors that would make up your nine-compartment grid. Not every home will fit perfectly on a grid, and that's okay. The idea is to fill in some of those missing corners with elements that correspond to the colors and elements on a traditional Bagua map.

Let's break down the Bagua map, the compass directions, and its corresponding elements and colors:

North: Career and life path; colors are black, dark blue, and blues; element is water.

Northeast: Knowledge and self-cultivation; colors are blue, black, and green; element is Earth.

East: Family, health, and community; colors are blue and green; element is wood.

Southeast: Wealth and abundance; colors are purple, red, and green; element is wood.

South: Fame, reputation, and recognition; colors are red and orange; element is fire.

Southwest: Love and relationships; colors are pink and red; element is Earth.

West: Creativity and children; colors are white, silver, and bright pastels; element is metal.

Northwest: Helpful people and travel; colors are gray, white, and black; element is metal.

Center: Good fortune and well-being; colors are yellow and Earth tones; element is Earth.

For those living in the southern hemisphere, the compass directions stay the same, but the elements on the Bagua map are mirrored. Now, let's jump right into the color trends, starting with each paint brand's color of the year.

Benjamin Moore's Color Trends

Benjamin Moore's pick for color of the year is "Raspberry Blush." The palette they've chosen consists of vibrant and saturated colors, a departure from the neutral tones seen in previous years. These colors are meant to inject small doses of impact into your home. Colors like "Conch Shell," "Thank You Foran," and "New Age" offer warm and comforting tones, while "Starry Blue Night" and "North Sea Green" add depth and coolness to your space.

Sherwin Williams' Color Trends

Sherwin Williams' color of the year is "Red Endpoint." While it may not be the most exciting choice, it can work as a supporting cast to other colors in your home. Use it as a base to layer on other colors like high-contrast whites or blacks for added impact.

Bear's Color Trends

Bear's color of the year is "Blank Canvas," a soft and versatile off-white. Bear showcases how this neutral hue can be used in every room of your home, providing a clean and fresh foundation for you to build upon. Pair it with other colors like blues, grays, greens, and blacks to create your ideal palette.

Using Color Trends in Feng Shui

Now, let's see how these color trends can be applied to the Bagua map according to Feng Shui. Blacks and blues dominate the north sector, making "Wenge" or "Starry Night Blue" ideal choices. "Savannah Green" can be used in the East and Center sectors due to its yellow and green earth tones. "New Age" works well in both the Southeast wealth and abundance corner and the West creativity and children corner.

For Benjamin Moore's palette, "Raspberry Blush," "Conch Shell," "Cinnamon," and "Red Endpoint" can be used in the South sector for fame and reputation. The Southwest corner, representing love and relationships, is perfect for pinkish hues like "Conch Shell" and "Red Endpoint." "New Age" and "Blank Canvas" can be applied in both the West and Northwest corners.

Remember, these color trends are just a starting point to inspire your home refresh. Use them to energize different corners of your home, attract positive energy, and create the atmosphere you desire. Feng Shui is a powerful tool, and your home's energy can always be adjusted to better suit your needs.
