Healing Paint Colors for Your Ayurveda Type
55 comments

By Annie B. Bond

Now this is a truly healthy and healing paint: The paint itself is as pure as possible and the 108 colors are designed to promote harmony and balance using East Indian Ayurvedic color therapy. All this from a company that has been on the leading edge of pure, green, safe products since the 1970s! Mouse over the 108 colors chosen with this ancient wisdom in mind to see which colors resonate with you and what they mean.

Visit the AFM Safecoat site and click one at a time on the Ayurvedic types listed on the left, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. You will see a list of colors to the right of the picture of a room. Move your mouse over each color name to turn the room to that color.

After you have found the colors that speak to you, try this fun quiz to see which type you think you are from reading words! For me, I never figured out my Ayurvedic type from reading text about them, or from all the quizzes I have taken, but it was clear as a bell from looking at the colors on the AFM Safecoat site.

my favorite colour is royal blue or midnight blue or even shadow blue and ice blue but i also like grass green because thats nature for you ayurveda also consist of sandelwood but its best to have soft colours which will give you peace and harmony and calmness.

Awesome my dear. You wrote very interesting thing. Thx for that. I know the soul of Aaurveda and Tantra. I wish for your long life so that you can serve more better.

Like many people, I'm a combination -- and I have to say that none of the colors did a thing for me. NONE.

Well, I'm bummed.

Rosie Phillips-Leaver

so very interesting, I am Kapha and the last time I was in charge of painting I probably took the wrong route entirely, it was a very troublesome time of my life ! Now I have a new home, might give it another try with a different outlook !

Christine Eret

Then, how do you get to it. I have been having some difficulty with finding it. I know that I am a Kapha, and I want to know what are those colors for me. Can you help?

Thank you! As I am in the process of putting together my studio, I asked a feng-shui consultant for some help. We discussed colors and when I went to visit my Vata page-it showed me the very colors I knew were "me."

And I had been told by the feng-shui professional placement and to stay away from green, as it is a depressing factor. And green used to be my favorite color, I today I don't wear it as often as I used to. I took green totally out of the equation for colors in my studio.
It's the earth tones that agree with me best.

I love that color, and it is oh-so true that we have to walk our talk!! However, since we are human beings we might omit doing unwillingly!! Chin up, Leeda!!
