The Power of Color
Color is a powerful form of energy that affects our emotions, health, and fortune. In the Five Elements system, each element has associated colors that can either strengthen or balance its energy. Understanding color-element relationships allows you to use color therapeutically in your environment, wardrobe, and daily life.
