Yellow or gold is usually not a favorite color for painting a room. But feng shui practitioners know the advantage that using yellow or gold can provide when used in a room. Primarily, it promotes optimism and cheerfulness, as it reminds us of the sun’s warming rays. Second, it inspires warm and positive emotions among members of the household. Yellow and gold are especially good color choices for rooms that do not get adequate sunlight.

For Buddhists, gold is a color of primary importance and many Buddha statues are finished in a gold color. Yellow can also attract wealth and encourage creativity, making it a good color for a study room. Even if you do not want to paint an entire room yellow or gold, you can use accents on the wall in the form of decoration. Yellow and gold decor also add a vibrant feeling to any setting.
