Shop Frontage

[Tancho]

I have a retail aquatics shop with a North Facing Frontage .... which is the best color to paint the front of the shop

Dear John,
Usually, more important concerns are based on the layout of the shop and one of the most important considerations is the frontage of the shop:
1. It is always wise to stand at the front of the shop looking outwards. Here, try to see if there are any `poison arrows'.
More common poison arrows is e.g. a lone tree slicing the main entrance or facing an escalator or other pointed (poison arrows.)
2. If traditional Feng Shui is applied, usually, detailed analysis is done to look at the exact compass direction of the door and doing a analysis using the Flying Star.
From the above, then the color of the frontage is determined.
3. Alternatively, one should still consider Para 1. but if one wants to forgo Para 2, then use your "feelings."
In retail, there is really no hard and `fast rule'. Between Feng Shui considerations or Marketing considerations, I would prefer to go for the Marketing options.
The Marketing option looks at your target audience. If your target audience is the younger or trendy, you could even paint some interesting murals of water scenes/water objects etc...
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
