How to Choose Colors as per Vastu

When god created this nature he has made it so colourful. The nature or the prakriti has so many colours to it in form of landscapes, trees, flowers and fruits that they touch our soul. As per the science of Vastu, the colors have a very important role in balancing of energies. Colors bring harmony in one’s life if used in the right way . Lord Vishnu, the preserver of this universe is always shown in yellow clothes. Yellow colour denotes Buddhi, Patience, Courage and knowledge. Even in nature when a fruit ripens it turns yellow. By eating these fruits one gains strength, vigour and vitality. Similarly goddess Saraswati is shown in white clothes which denote knowledge, wisdom, purity and sattava element. Red clothes worn by Ma Durga and Lakshmi denote Courage, Energy and blessings of the mother. The saffron colour worn by Sannyasis show renunciation & spirituality. Black colour is worn by Lord Shani and Yamadharamraj which denotes Justice, Dharma and fruits of ones karmas or actions. One cannot give justice without being harsh and unmoved, that is the reason this color is used in courts so that justice can be given without any attachments and emotions.
