Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 5, 2010 Staff Share Posted July 5, 2010 IN GENERAL these are the considerations or pairings of roof tile colours and exterior wall finishes:-1. If possible try to avoid BLUE roof. As under the I-ching, blue represents difficulty andif it is the entire roof, it is like water on-top of you.2. If blue roof MUSTbe used, then the exterior walls should be white or off-white never cream or beige.3. If greyroofis used: best choicefor the exterior walls is white in colour. Grey exterior walls, so so. IF grey roof is used must avoid cream or beige coloured walls. 4. Under currentFeng Shui period, the best colours are earth tone(cream or beige) colours especially for exterior walls. Thus if green roof is used; cream or beige or peachy colours are acceptable.5. WHITE roofs is a no no as it represents "death or mourning."6. Common traditional colours are orange or maroon. If so, any exterior wall colours are fine. For example, if such coloured roofs are used: exterior wall colours can range from white to off-white to cream or beige, to red brick tile colours etc.. etc....

Guest Joslyn Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 If you have a blue roof, how do you fix it? is repainting the only option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repainting is the only option. Hopefully, the home does not have three or more major "leaks" = imbalances. If so, it can still sustain such a "hit".

Guest Yas Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 If I have black roof, is that bad? What should I do with exterior in that case? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted May 8, 2017 Author Staff Share Posted May 8, 2017 Seldom see black roofs unless it was the water tank. Such as in The Quinn condo. Are you referring instead to grey roofs? Common sense has it that black absorbs heat. Unless perhaps in a war-zone to make the home less of a target at night? Hmmm... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yas Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 It's this color : and it's A shape of the roof, like triangle. It's not war zone. Also, it is not very hot here, except 2 months of summer. Most of the time I'm trying to make the house warmer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted May 8, 2017 Author Staff Share Posted May 8, 2017 OIC! I forgot! You are most like "up there" in the Northern hemisphere.... (or down-under) Cold country.. Generally, the external walls can be white or light cream are equally acceptable. Common sense says greying combined with black looks gloomy...thus avoid dull Colours...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted November 21, 2017 Author Staff Share Posted November 21, 2017 In Asia, green roof was common especially for places of worship. In the 1970’s some homes use green roof tiles. But the most common today is the traditional clay or orange coloured tiles. Well green is in my opinion still an okay colour.. under your description, above.

Unkle Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I'm brand new to feng shui; I'm moving into a red brick home, front door facing east, with a black shingled asphalt roof. My #1 question, that I can't seem to find an answer to is this: Does feng shui allow painting a brick exterior home? Thank you in advance.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted December 5, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted December 5, 2018 Nearly all colours except Grey. The standard clay tiles is good or the maroon colour tiles. If other materials, also avoid greying tone. Grey goes with white exterior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
