Questions and answers

All 41 questions
What exactly is ivory colour?

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.

The North-West was given green as its colour, but the shakti chakra shows it in blue. Why?

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.

Should each zone of the house be painted in the colour of its devta?

Colours are taught in interior vastu; do not get confused now and focus on what is being taught.

Can a bedroom be made at Shikhi (E1), and why should it be white rather than red?

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.

Why is the colour of Bhrisha (E7) dark blue when blue is usually avoided in the East?

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.

If the colour of a small area in the earth element zone is changed, or an imbalancing item is kept there, does it affect the whole house?

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.

Why do CAs and accountants use green ink?

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.

Why do doctors wear green or blue aprons, and why do hospitals use green?

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.

Why do some homes and businesses decline right after an expensive interior?

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.

Which element does the blue colour represent?

As a planet colour, blue belongs to Shani (Saturn); as an element, it represents the water element.

Why does the colour of the kitchen platform matter so much?

Eye contact is greatest with the platform, since rolling, chopping and all cooking work happen on it, so its colour works on the eyes and mind. In a wrongly placed kitchen the right platform colour alone can correct about 25% of the dosh: ivory for South, South-East, South-South-East and West-South-West kitchens; light red lakha granite for South-East and South-South-East, used sparingly because red stone comes only as granite, which develops pin holes; yellow for South-West and West; and green for South-East, South-South-East, South, North-East and North.

Can the kitchen platform be painted?

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.
