The colour of a debilitated planet, or of the lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house, should be left out of the home interior and not worn for important occasions.
Home interior
Oil-based paint contains lead that is released into the air and breathed in, causing cough, cold, eye irritation and disease; water-based paint should be used instead.
Water-based paint
Bedrooms, doors, offices and schools
Red represents Mars and the Surya swar; it creates heat, fire and zeal in the body, so it is used wherever heavy physical work must be done fast.
Red uniform or red wall paint
Warehouses, loading areas, staff uniforms
When the Sun sits in the 10th house it becomes karak and very strong; the direction of that house should be painted in sunrise orange or light yellow-orange, never in blue, black or white.
Orange or light yellow-orange paint (sunrise colours)
Direction of the 10th house on the kundali direction chart (South)
Interior colours are selected in three ways: from the kundali (the planets ruling education, business, wealth and luck), from the element of the zone (its own colour or a friendly element colour), and from the work done in the space.
Every room, the office and the building elevation
Each direction has colours that suit it and colours to avoid, based on the friendship and enmity of the planets ruling the zones.
Wall paint
All directions of a home or office
Before doing an interior, get the birth chart analysed: heavy use of the colours, materials or showpieces of a debilitated (neech) planet becomes the biggest trouble, and items unknowingly put in a wrong zone can suddenly bring unrest, disease and failure.

A mandna is a traditional drawn figure whose shape and colours pull cosmic energy and create a field of energy, so each element has its own mandna to balance an imbalanced zone. They work in industrial, commercial and residential buildings.
Water-based paint (traditionally juices of leaves)
Wall of the zone whose element is imbalanced
Ivory is a very light yellow. Off-white is often called ivory, but do not choose plain off-white; true ivory is a very light shade of yellow. It represents the earth element, which is why ivory floor tiles generate so much energy in a house.
Use green colour and a flag-like pattern: put up a flag (dhwaj) in the North-West and, if possible, open the North-West with a window; this brings at least some balance. Swar vigyan can do still more without expense or demolition.
The colour on the chakra is the colour of the devta of that zone, not of the element; the North devtas are shown in red, for example, which is not a colour to paint there. The air element has both green and blue as its colours.
Colours are taught in interior vastu; do not get confused now and focus on what is being taught.
Yes, a bedroom at Shikhi can suit elderly people, and it should be painted white rather than the zone's red colour, as advised for people of kapha nature and for those of pitta nature whose heat rises quickly. Shikhi is highly sensitive and already hot, so red would add heat and open the third eye.
Where there is heat, coolness is given, and where there is cold, heat is given; heat added to heat burns things out and cold added to cold also ends them. It is like swar, where the cooling chandra swar should flow in the body while the Sun is up. E7 lies next to the fire (Agni) corner, so it was given blue.
Yes, it affects the whole house. Just as dirt in one room spreads its smell through the air to the other rooms, an imbalance in one zone spreads to the entire house.
Green represents Budh (Mercury), and finance and accounts belong to Mercury. Using the colour of the planet that rules the work strengthens it; even clothes and pen ink act as interior vastu, which is also why lawyers choose black.
To keep Budh (Mercury), the planet of intellect, alert: if the mind or concentration slips during an operation, everything goes wrong. Green also nullifies infrared rays and bad energies, so hospitals mostly use green, pista, white and blue.
Because the interior changes colours, furniture directions, tiles and artefacts without regard to the owner's element and planets. Often the colours belong to the element opposite to the owner's, artefacts are combined wrongly, or harmful adhesives, lights and lead-based paints are used. One client who spent 60 to 80 lakh on an interior saw his loans turn NPA and his wife leave; his whole house had been painted in the colours of his opposite element.
As a planet colour, blue belongs to Shani (Saturn); as an element, it represents the water element.
Yes, the platform can be painted, but the type of paint matters, which is explained in the topic of paints, pigments and colours. Never use oil-based paint.
