Selecting the Right Colour based on Chinese Culture

To the Chinese who believes in the metaphysical wisdom past down through times, selecting the right colour is simple: Wear one that is favourable for you!

So, how do I identify?

How to Select the Right Colour?

For those who aren't familiar with Chinese culture's element, here is a very short summary. Since ancient, the Chinese believes that things are made up of two polarities: yin and yang and five different elements : Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.

By analyzing one's birth chart, one would know their favourable and unfavourable element(s). However, this requires a person with experience to analyse and identify because there are multiple aspects to consider before deriving an answer.
