Relationship of 5 Elements and Colors, Shapes & Materials

5-Element is the basic principle of feng shui. Using the theory of 5 Elements can let feng shui balance. 5 Elements are metal, water, wood, fire and earth. For example, we can use water or wood element to increase wood element since water generates wood.

Colors represent 5 elements: Gold, white and silver represent metal; Black, grey and blue represent water; Green represent wood; Red and pink represent fire; Yellow and brown represent earth. For instance, we can choose blue or green color to increase wood element and choose gold or red color to decrease wood element.

Shapes are also representing 5 Elements: Round, oval and arch-shaped objects represent metal element; Wave-shaped and free-flowing objects represents water element; Retangle-shaped objects represent wood element; Sharp point objects and triangle objects represent fire element; Square shaped objects represent Earth.
