The balancing effects of color
For each of the three energies that govern our Mind & Body types, there are different therapeutic colors that bring benefits and provoke different emotions.
According to Ayurveda, colors when properly used, can balance all Mind & Body types by having a therapeutic effect on our imbalances.
AIR
Balancing colors for AIR individuals are warm and earthy. Yellows, greens and golds are very pleasing to them. So are white, and deep reds. Avoid bright red—it’s far too stimulating.
FIRE
Because FIRE types tend to be hot, they need a cooling environment to stay in balance. Stick with soft, pastel colors to soothe away tensions. Blues and greens are particularly beneficial, as are pinks and roses.
EARTH
Earth types need the stimulation of bright, hot colors. Pick up the energy level with reds and oranges. They shake off lethargy and invigorate.
