Colors According to Vastu

Right Colors as per Vastu

The right combination of colors helps achieve the desired effect. According to Vastu experts, neutral or pastel shades with a tinge of darker hues work well for a bedroom. While use of bold and bright color tones prove to be energetic and could work against the objective of creating a calm setting. White and light blue is good for the east direction. If the entrance of your house is towards north, the best Vastu colors for the north direction would be green and all its shades.
