Hi Master Joey Yap, I recently began learning Classical Feng Shui through Level I Introductory Courses Online. First I have to tell you that I am very happy to study under someone who is well versed in Knowledge of this Science. It helps me to be confident in that I am learning from good foundational knowledge. I enjoy new age Feng Shui; however, i do understand that one must have a good foundation of strong factual and beginning knowledge to grow outward into the bloom. That is the whole reason I take courses under your instruction. The reason I am writing....oh thank you for sharing your knowledge with me through Mastery Academy Online here in America...I enjoyed the lesson on Yin and Yang...your video instruction mentioned that paint colors cannot be Yin nor Yang (Qi). If I may with all due respect interject a thought looking for the correct answer, I have studied color to some degree...this is my question.....oh i hope it is ok to ask this question on your blog...if color (pigments) reflect light rays (waves) where magenta has the longest reaching waves, then would warm colors produce Yang within Yin if a room is say...gloomy (Yin)? Where the reflection (yang) off the Yin(pigment) could be considered active?

Hi Amy,

Colours no doubt would have their subtleties and effect. However, colours are not 'advocated' or regarded as a main consideration in Classical Feng Shui. However, there's nothing in saying a room is Gloomy (yin) and bright (Yang). Colours is a standalone study independant of Feng Shui. Perhaps in time, after you've been thru the entire spectrum of Classical Feng Shui syllabus you will see this concept in different light.

Warm Regards, JY
