Feng Shui in the Kitchen – Colour
Dr. Michael Oon
Why select a Feng Shui colour for your Kitchen?
There are two alternatives. You can select a personal colour – the personal colour of the head of the household or the “particular colour” of the room based on the compass direction using the Bagua.

- Colour of the Bagua
Colour is an important facet of the room. With a personal colour, the family members will feel more comfortable with the personalised colour. The other choice being the colour most suitable for the room based on Bagua, which is related to compass direction.
