Living Color: Master Lin Yuns Guide to Feng Shui and the Art of Color

by Sarah Rossbach, Lin Yun

Colors are key to the Chinese art of feng shui ("Fung Shway"), a system of placement whose simplicity and ecological good sense have struck such a chord recently in the West. Now Lin Yun and Sarah Rossbach, well known for their introduction to the West of feng shui, have written a fully illustrated guide to color application in all areas of life: home, garden, clothes, food, environment, health, and fortune-telling. In LIVING COLOR readers will find not only answers to the most common color questions-what color to pick for the new sofa? What color to wear on a job interview or to clinch an important deal? What colors for romance?-but also rules for a balanced and harmonious life based upon no less an authority than Tao-the way of all living things.

[Chriss · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good systems for picking house and clothing colors. Aside from the interesting Chinese color symbolism and it's relation to chi/ch'i, this is a great book for anyone having a hard time picking house paint colors; suggests choosing house colors based on driveway and roof colors. Lots of charts and such.

Overall, well written and well edited.

Fair overview of the theory. Less compelling than other feng shui books because of the lack of pictures.
