Healing Paint Colors for Your Ayurveda Type

47 comments

By Annie B. Bond, Executive Producer of Care2's Green Living content

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 1970’s! 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. 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.

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!!

In reference to Leeda's comment made on the 12th of this month...Leeda, I find it interesting that in your profile you state that if you were mayor you would vow to respect other peoples beliefs. Does this mean you don't have to walk your own talk unless you are elected?
