In part two of our article on lucky colours to consider this year, we look at how cool shades like blue and grey can bring peace into your home. Those born in the Year of the Rooster, however, may want to opt for neutral paints to help them get rid of negative energy.
| HORSE— Those born in the Year of the Horse are advised to embrace shades of purple, such as Painter’s Attic NP PB1429D and Dear Diary NP PB1475P, as it can bring new career opportunities. It is also a modern colour that provides a good contrast against most furniture and exudes a luxurious vibe. |

GOAT– The resilient Goat will be able to adapt to the difficulties that lie ahead with blue shades like Porcelain Blue NP PB1526A and Sky Delight NP BGG1579P. The colour provides good energy for Goats, and also has a calming effect. This shade offers a good contrast to make furniture stand out and be true masterpieces in the home. |
| MONKEY– Good news for those born in the Year of the Monkey. They are in for a year of financial gains! But they may require some help in the health department as Monkeys are prone to health issues. They can overcome this by incorporating teal into their homes. Shades of teal, such as Set Sail NP BGG1595T and Seaside Lodge NP BGG1599P, bring a contemporary and eclectic ambience that visitors will find refreshing. |

ROOSTER– Those born in the Year of the Rooster will find it slightly tough this year as unfavourable circumstances surround them. As such, neutral colours like sand beige or pastel brown (e.g. Ciabatta NP N1846P and Old Mat NP BGG1703T) can help dispel negative forces. Neutral colours also serve to unify different colour palettes. In fact, it acts as a backdrop which places focus on other colours. |
| DOG— Luck is on the side of those born in the Year of the Dog, and they can expect to bring wealth into their lives. Splashes of grey, such as Whetstone NP N1994T and Everlasting NP N2020P, can create balance and harmony, while having a calming and therapeutic effect on them. According to Shann Ong from interior design firm Dezign Culture, grey is a good colour to match, making it versatile for almost any design layout. |

PIG– The new year looks slightly unfavourable for those born in the Year of the Pig, but fret not. You can cleanse your thoughts by incorporating different shades of blue, such as Fluid Blue NP AC2101A and Barbara Blue NP PB1525T. For parents, incorporating blue in your children’s bedrooms can help bring emotional balance and improve their learning ability. Blue also creates a calm and peaceful vibe in your home, and is a versatile colour that complements many others. |
