Living the Feng Shui Way

While deciding on the type of car comes easily to most people, deciding on the color of a car can be a stumbling block. Some people simply go with their favorite color, while others mull over color choices by considering factors such as climate, type of vehicle use, or the most practical choice, going with what is least likely to show dirt.

But what if that fails? Then try feng shui. Yes, the Chinese guide used for arranging homes and offices can also be used for selecting colors based on an individual’s own personal feng shui. In feng shui, each person has a color that is considered their personal “success” color.

This success color is determined by a number that is based on gender and date of birth. This number, called a “kua” number, is associated with several colors. One color is for success, another for good relationships, and another for good health or personal growth. By selecting the correct color, the driver will experience better luck over all because the color is harmonized with that individual.

When buying your next car, try using personal feng shui to select your “success” color. If you’ll use the car more for shuttling kids to soccer practice, then choose a “relationship” color.

Both colors are determined by the driver’s kua number. To determine the driver’s kua number, and subsequently the color of car that is appropriate, use this link to determine your kua number.
