If you really want to enhance the prosperity corner in any room (the southeast corner) then consider using the three colors that the Chinese find most fortuitous – purple red and green.
 
If you can’t stand these three colors together, which are not to most Westerner’s ideas of good taste, then you might consider creating a totemic still life made of those colors in that area.  You could create an arrangement of flowers such as a roses and irises together.
 
Another idea would be to create a still life using large gems and placing htem in a glass bowl. You could place a purple amytheyst, a piece of red jasper and a piece of green jade.
 
As things that come in threes are preferable in Fen Shui I opted to purchase three lava lamps – one in in red, one in green and one in purple.  Another solution would be to string Christmas lights in this area fitted with red, purple and green bulbs. Of course you don’t have to be so obvious about it. Yet another option is to instead insert colored light bulbs in red, green and purple in the lamps you have in this area for a subtle play of light.

It is about which combinations of color are lucky or unlucky.

 
As you may know each element is amplified by it sown colors

 
The element of  Water is symbolized by black purple and blue.

Earth is symbolized by light yellow, mustard colors and ochre.

Metal is symbolized by white, silver,  gold and bronze

Fire is symbolized by red, orange, purple and pink

Wood is symbolized by brown and green hues

 
However  some feng shui masters take this even further citing lucky and unlucky color combinations when it comes to arranging objects. For instance having two red tulips and one white in a flower arrangement would be considered unlucky but two reds tulips and one yellow would be considered lucky.

 
Examples of Feng Shui Color Combinations that Bring Good Luck are

 
Two reds and one yellow

Two yellows and one white

Two whites and one blue

Two blues and one green

Two browns and one red

 
Unlucky combinations are

 
Two reds and one white

Two whites and one green

Two greens and one yellow

Two yellows and one blue

Two blues and one red

 
Think about all this the next time you consider painting your kitchen cupboards ! lol

 
Peace be Still SAm
