1. Please note that this area is no hocus pocus.

2. It is strictly based on the Five Elements concept AND?

3. For example, there is a difference between a person who is a WEAK FIRE person vs a STRONG FIRE person.

4. Of course if one is a weak fire person; the his/her beneficial element or colours are Wood (Green, brown or wood tone) and Fire (Red, pink or purple).

4.1. IF one is a STRONG fire person, then, common sense under the Five Elements concept is that one should not have additional FIRE (Red, pink or purple). Water element is favourable for that person.

5. If you are into DIY, you have to understand the concept of the Five Elements.

6. As you can see from the above: A person with Para 4 can use fire element. While a person under Para 4.1 should stay clear of it.

7. This forum is not a spoon feeding session. As this concept is as mentioned, not rocket science. It is pure and simple based on the Five Elements concept.

8. You have to differentiate between being either STROnG or WEAK under Ba zi and five elements concept.

9. In a DIY environment like this, it is best that you go and research further for your own good.

10. As I mentioned earlier, if one is a fire person, one should find out if he/she is a strong or weak fire element person. And the favourable colours are not the same for a weak vs a strong person.
