Where the air element is disturbed, for example in a rented flat that causes gastric trouble, use green colour in the North-West, put up a flag (dhwaj) there, preferably a five-element flag, and open the North-West with a window.

Painting a school or study room in green (Mercury, intellect) and ivory (Jupiter, education) restores children's health and concentration.

When a home suffers constant quarrels or illness, paint it pista (pistachio green) if the owner's Mercury is not debilitated, or white if the Moon is not afflicted, and add peace symbols and friendly element shapes.

Rooms where the unrest or illness is felt
For a person who gets angry often, the room is done up only with anger-controlling, mind-calming portraits, photos, idols, artifacts, symbols and colour combinations.
Calming colour combinations

A Nandi placed on a golden yellow Geo Vastu chabutra in the South-West of the office, facing North, increases business skill and draws customers.

Sprinkle a little water on the main door threshold every morning and make a rangoli to welcome the Sun. For a wrongly placed door, plaster the ground in front with cow dung daily and make the rangoli in the colour of that zone.

For a defective East door, hang a toran of wood and brass or of metal with gems, or a green square swastik bandhanwar made on leaves or another base, put up on a Monday.

For a main door on a wrong North pada, hang a toran of flowers or of wood and silver, or a blue swastik bandhanwar of 9, 11, 13 or 15 swastiks in a crescent shape. Mercury rules the North and is pleased by flowers.

When the lord whose colour you need is debilitated, trace the chain of sign lords to the planet that cancels the debility and use its colour instead, creating a neech bhang raj yoga yourself.
Ivory, a very light yellow, represents the earth element, which is why ivory floor tiles are the most preferred and generate the most energy in a house.

Royal interiors such as the Mysore Palace marked a brahma nabhi (navel) at the centre of the floor and hung chandeliers of sphatik (crystal) to raise the energy of the Brahmasthan, with colours chosen from the ruler's element and planets.

The Moon (white) and Jupiter (golden yellow) together form the Gaj Kesari yoga; an interior with white walls and golden yellow carvings recreates this yoga in the home.

A swan statue or painting in the NNW of the bedroom and rose or pink rose wallpaper on the South wall strengthen Venus and romance between the couple.

The bedroom colour should combine the zone colour with the colour that awakens your fortune; without a horoscope, find that colour by browsing a full colour catalogue and noting the colours you instinctively like.

Bedroom walls
The birth chart shows which direction is strong for a person: the direction holding exalted planets, or else the most benefic planets, is the one to face, sleep and work in. Planet colours from the chart guide health, business and decoration choices.
The favourable direction: house facing, bedroom, work chamber
Bhrisha, the seventh devta of the East, is weighty and powerful with its own gravity; balanced, it awakens the nerves of the brain and raises thinking power, observation and one-pointed concentration, like a bird gazing fixedly at one point. Imbalanced, the mind gets confused, the nature turns dominating and kidney problems appear.

Building materials affect health: the lung diseases common today are linked to the heavy use of adhesives and oil-based paints. Bricks, stones and other materials for a home should be chosen with care.
The colours shown for each zone on the shakti chakra are the colours of its devtas, not of the element, and are not meant for painting; the air element of the North-West has both green and blue as its colours.
A basement without sunlight should not be used for sleeping or staying, a kitchen, a toilet, a patient or a locker; its entry should come from the North or East and its walls should be white.
Basement
Drawing room, office, puja room, conference room, underground water tank, borewell and a bedroom for elders suit the Shikhi pad. A main door, kitchen or toilet here harms the residents.

Oil-based paints contain lead, one of the major causes of cancer, and act as a slow poison on the lungs.
Walls and woodwork of living rooms and bedrooms
Colour changes the speed of work: in a warehouse, the same labourers loaded goods from a red godown in about half the time they needed in a light violet one.
Warehouses, godowns, factories and work areas
If Venus (Shukra) and the Moon (Chandra) sit together in a kundli there is domestic discord, and keeping their colours, statues or artefacts together at home increases it further.
Anywhere in the home, especially where artefacts are grouped
Every trade belongs to a planet; using that planet's colour, shape, artefacts, paintings, metals, mirrors and glass at the business multiplies its energy, while a clashing colour can shut it down.
Shops, offices, factories and petrol pumps
Sunlight falls first on the walls and the wall colour reflects energy onto the people, so colours of the element opposite to the owner's rashi or kundli can ruin an otherwise good vastu.
Paint colours chosen from the owner's kundli and element
Walls, furniture and curtains of every zone
Everyone is made of the five elements; a person likes the colour of their own element or of its friend element, and the exact shade they like matches the percentage of that element within them.
Wall colours and furnishings of the person's own rooms
Ivory is a very light yellow. Off-white is often called ivory, but do not choose plain off-white; true ivory is a very light shade of yellow. It represents the earth element, which is why ivory floor tiles generate so much energy in a house.
Use green colour and a flag-like pattern: put up a flag (dhwaj) in the North-West and, if possible, open the North-West with a window; this brings at least some balance. Swar vigyan can do still more without expense or demolition.
The colour on the chakra is the colour of the devta of that zone, not of the element; the North devtas are shown in red, for example, which is not a colour to paint there. The air element has both green and blue as its colours.
Colours are taught in interior vastu; do not get confused now and focus on what is being taught.
Yes, a bedroom at Shikhi can suit elderly people, and it should be painted white rather than the zone's red colour, as advised for people of kapha nature and for those of pitta nature whose heat rises quickly. Shikhi is highly sensitive and already hot, so red would add heat and open the third eye.
Where there is heat, coolness is given, and where there is cold, heat is given; heat added to heat burns things out and cold added to cold also ends them. It is like swar, where the cooling chandra swar should flow in the body while the Sun is up. E7 lies next to the fire (Agni) corner, so it was given blue.
Yes, it affects the whole house. Just as dirt in one room spreads its smell through the air to the other rooms, an imbalance in one zone spreads to the entire house.
Green represents Budh (Mercury), and finance and accounts belong to Mercury. Using the colour of the planet that rules the work strengthens it; even clothes and pen ink act as interior vastu, which is also why lawyers choose black.
To keep Budh (Mercury), the planet of intellect, alert: if the mind or concentration slips during an operation, everything goes wrong. Green also nullifies infrared rays and bad energies, so hospitals mostly use green, pista, white and blue.
Because the interior changes colours, furniture directions, tiles and artefacts without regard to the owner's element and planets. Often the colours belong to the element opposite to the owner's, artefacts are combined wrongly, or harmful adhesives, lights and lead-based paints are used. One client who spent 60 to 80 lakh on an interior saw his loans turn NPA and his wife leave; his whole house had been painted in the colours of his opposite element.
As a planet colour, blue belongs to Shani (Saturn); as an element, it represents the water element.
Yes, the platform can be painted, but the type of paint matters, which is explained in the topic of paints, pigments and colours. Never use oil-based paint.
