Portrait Lunar New Year theme

The five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) of Chinese metaphysics are closely related to certain colours, mainly due to the colours being made up of specific frequencies. Each colour is therefore believed to have different characteristics and be related to one of the five elements. This also depends on the element that complements each year – for example, water would be the complementary element for the year of the Rabbit in 2023. Five main groups of colours corresponding to the respective elements are namely – blue and black (water), yellow and beige (earth), white (metal), red (fire), and green (wood). The colours of the set and the model's outfit correspond to the five elements.

 

To summarise, azure blue, apple green, pearl white, fiery red and imperial yellow are the lucky colours that incorporate the wood, fire, water, metal and earth elements of feng shui. It is safe to say that wood and water elements (green and blue) may dominate all the art, fashion and decor trends going by feng shui. Green also symbolises the environment and ‘go green’ as a mantra has been adopted in a big way to encourage sustainable fashion, a cleaner way of living and thriving on this planet.
