In Feng Shui, there is a belief that the colour of anything affects the harmony of the Feng Shui elements and can function to influence the energy or ‘Chi’ surrounding the object. With that in mind, it is believed that the colour of your wallet or purse has a bearing on how much wealth is attracted to it and to you.

In Feng Shui, clean wallets and purses with no sign of debts like a credit card bill or receipts are encouraged. You should also avoid cluttering your wallet with unnecessary and expired documents. Always keep your wallet full as this is something that will attract more money.

In terms of what wallet colours symbolize, here is a quick list:

Red Colour

Feng Shui has always encouraged us to use red coloured objects in our daily lives as it represents good luck and auspiciousness. It is also the colour of the Fire element which is believed to light up the way for positive energy to accumulate, but also energize some negative elements. If you are a fire and earth elemental person, then go for red coloured wallets. However, if you are a water, wood and metal individual, the colour red may be too intense for you.

Dark Blue or Navy Colour

Blue is the colour of those born under the water element and will provide them with abundance. However, if you are born under the fire and metal element, you should avoid blue coloured wallets. However, if you are born under the water or wood element, blue would be the best choice.

Black Colour

Black is a very classy and elegant colour, and is considered a wise choice for those born under the water and wood, but less suitable for those born under the fire, metal and earth elements.

Brown Colour

Brown should be the colour of choice for people born under the personal elements of earth and metal. However, if you are born under fire or water elements, brown may not be the best colour for you.

Green Colour

The best people to have green wallets and purses are those born under the earth element. This colour is also suitable for those who want to start anew and afresh in life.

Other Colours

In general, deeper colours are always preferred to lighter colours. Choosing a deep red or blue wallet will have a more positive effect than a tan, white or grey coloured one. However, you can always try various colours to see what works best for you.
