 The interpretation and application of the feng shui principles depend on the correct use of certain tools and concepts like the five elements, the law of yin and yang, as well as the combination of colors.
Metal, wood, water, fire and earth, the five elements, all have a corresponding color that is represented in a feng shui color chart.
Placing the right elements, with the appropriate colors in a certain place leads to the balancing of the vital force, the chi, and the maintenance of a great living environment.
A feng shui color chart functions as some sort of a blueprint for a specific space: it can be applied to one's home, office or to an entire building too.
