purple

I am currently working towards an interior design diploma and have been studying colour.  Have you ever thought about the origin of certain colours? I was fascinated to learn that in ancient Roman times, purple dye was extracted from the glands of murex mollusks. It took more than ten thousand of these shellfish to produce enough dye to colour just one Emperor’s robe. Since this was an expensive and labour-intensive process, it was only the very wealthy who could afford to wear clothing of this hue. This is said to be the reason why the colour purple became associated with royalty.

In BTB Feng Shui, the colour purple is associated with wealth and abundance. When standing at your front door, the back left section of your home is designated as your Wealth and Abundance Gua. If you wish to improve your financial situation, consider adding some purple to this area of your home. If purple does not work with your current home décor, think about planting some purple flowers in the back left corner of your property.  Let me know how your finances improve!
