One of the simplest and most effective ways that we can call in a particular energy is through the use of color. The use of color is significant in feng shui philosophy because vision is one of the most compelling of our five senses. In addition, color is light energy. The restorative vibrations of color can be used strategically with feng shui to bring more luck and happiness into our lives.  People often ask what the “best” feng shui colors are, and the truth is it always depends. There are certain colors that are considered most auspicious for particular situations, as well as colors that may be most supportive for you given your personal astrology, personal or cultural associations, and what you’re going through at the moment. However, we can also consider the universal energies that we’re going through on a collective level in 2022 and which colors are most auspicious in that context.
