The color purple in Feng Shui is very promising. It is the color that activates the Prosperity gua. But it does so for a reason.
Relationship Between the Color Purple and Feng Shui
Colors not only nourish our physical body, but their vibrations also energize our mind and soul.
As I mentioned in other articles, colors are very important in our lives and spaces. They not only nourish our physical body, but their vibrations also energize our mind and soul. Colors send subliminal messages to our brains. And this stimulates us and awakens different sensations and emotions.
However, we need to use each color correctly to better take advantage of the vibrations they emit and thus align them with what we want to move or attract.
Feng Shui uses the power of colors to activate the areas of the bagua (an octagonal map that divides our spaces into 9 major focus areas) applied in spaces to implement the technique. Each of the 9 areas of the Bagua has a predominant color that will activate that area in our spaces and lives.
According to Feng Shui, various ways exist to activate and potentiate these areas. Colors are one of the most used possibilities. They are great tools for balancing and energizing our spaces. Given colors’ enormous vibrational power, if used correctly, they can energetically enrich all the places where they are present, generating numerous benefits.

Curiosities About the Color Purple
The color purple is associated with wealth, royalty, religion, piety, and sexuality.
For centuries, purple was obtained from certain species of mollusks native to the Mediterranean Sea. This led to the extinction of some of them.
To obtain a single gram of purple, more than 9,000 mollusks were needed! Therefore, only the high classes of society could afford to buy and wear fabrics dyed with the color, thus becoming associated with imperial classes.
Considering the great difficulty in obtaining it and its high price, purple was one of the most important and most expensive natural pigments of antiquity.
History says that this color was Cleopatra’s favorite… Da Vinci also used it a lot in his meditations, as he believed in its power.
It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition.
It is a mixture of the calmness of blue and the vibrant and energetic red. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys a sense of wealth and extravagance. It is also associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.
It’s worth mentioning that there is not much consensus regarding the shades that can be considered purple, but we can say that purple is not violet or lilac. It is the color between magenta and violet. To better identify the shade of this color, look at the vestments of Catholic Church bishops. Their cassocks are purple! It is a color that results from the strong energy of action and movement of red with the tranquility of blue.
The Color Purple and Feng Shui
As I mentioned earlier, in Feng Shui, purple is associated with power and wealth, and this comes from the most remote times.
Purple was undoubtedly the most expensive, known, and coveted dye of all the ancient dyes. It was a symbol of wealth and distinction due to its difficulty obtaining, as it came from the secretion of a specific mollusk.
It was the color used by Roman magistrates. It became the imperial color used by the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire rulers, and later, also adopted by Roman Catholic bishops.
In ancient Rome, only the emperor had the right to wear this color. Emperor Nero, a descendant of one of the main Roman families, was even punished with death for wearing purple, which became rare then.
Similarly, in Japan, the color is traditionally associated with the emperor and the aristocracy.
In Feng Shui, purple is a color that generates good chi or good energy. It is no coincidence that, according to Feng Shui, it activates the area of prosperity and positively moves other important areas of the Bagua and life. The Prosperity area of the Bagua is one of the guas that, generally, we focus more on activating… agree?!
So, add this color in the areas of your house where you want to improve the vibrational level by adding an extra vibration, bringing power and nobility to your decoration. Or, add this color to a specific area of the bagua that may need an “extra push” in your life.
How to Use the Color Purple?
Purple is not easy to incorporate into the decor and apply in environments. You don’t need to start painting everything purple to empower your spaces and your life. This color can be added in decorative details… small touches with great power… after all, balance is essential. Anyway, I will provide some tips on how to add this auspicious color to your decor to benefit your life.
Since this is a subject that generates many doubts, in the next topics, I will discuss how you can use the color purple in the areas you want to enhance.
As I mentioned, you don’t need to start coloring all your environments purple (and you shouldn’t do that!). You can use purple in decorative objects and small touches in your environment, like a blanket in this color, a vase, a sculpture, or even a wall etc. Use your creativity and good taste!
It is also possible to use landscaping in this activation, as there are beautiful flowers in this color. The purple orchid is an excellent example.
An important aspect is that, regardless of the option you choose in relation to the color purple, you must necessarily like this shade and the effect it creates. The objects and colors applied should be in harmony with your decor, visually speaking. You always need to seek balance to avoid overdoing or underdoing it.

The darker shade of purple can be associated with the color of the deep ocean waters. In Feng Shui, it symbolizes wealth, abundance, and plenty. Use it to attract these prosperous vibrations to your life!
Purple Helps You Have Good Luck
The Chinese believe that men are born with three types of luck: the luck of heaven, earth, and man. They believe these three fortunes must be balanced to achieve harmony and good fortune.
Heaven’s luck is received at birth and cannot be changed. It can be considered as destiny. Earth’s luck is achieved when we balance the energies around us. And Feng Shui can greatly help achieve this luck. Man’s luck depends on various factors and involves each person’s attitudes, merits, faith, culture, character, and kindness, and it’s up to each one to achieve it.
Thus, if we are kind and deserving people and apply Feng Shui techniques in our spaces, we will have much more power and strength to face our destiny with more balance and lightness.
Purple is an excellent color to stimulate this good luck. It is especially good when combined with white, gold, or silver.
You can use these color combinations in the corners of Friends and Creativity to improve these areas and bring even more fluidity to them.
Activating the Friends gua with metallic colors and touches of purple enhances the attraction of friendly people and people who can help you have an easier life.
By activating the Creativity area with white, silver, and touches of purple, you attract a good future full of interesting opportunities.
In addition to colors, metallic elements, and oval/round shapes can be used in these areas to enhance their effects.
Purple Helps You Gain More Recognition
Purple is an excellent color to add to the success area of your house, living room, or office.
The Success area ensures recognition, fame, and exposure in your life.
As it is a color of power, you can add it to a wall in the Success sector of your living room or house. Thus, you add prestige and power to increase your ambitions and the chances of being even more recognized.
This color secondarily activates the Success gua. So, if you wish fame, recognition, and success in your life, you can add it to this area as an alternative activation.
This color is excellent for any child’s bedroom, but in small doses, so as not to expose the child to the high vibrational level that this color possesses.
Applied on a small wall or in some furniture, purple is very accepted by children, who usually love this color. Purple can even help improve a child’s imagination, as it is a color that expands levels of consciousness.
It is similar to the color of the seventh or crown chakra, located at the top of the head. This chakra drives our consciousness and connects us with the divine and the cosmic universe. It provides access to elevated states of consciousness as we open ourselves to what is beyond our earthly concerns.
