Colours are important in Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian discipline that balances our living areas with the elements of nature. The kitchen serves as more than just a space for cooking as it's the centre of your house, where life and energy are exchanged. Let's set out on a voyage to discover how Vastu principles might impact your life through the colour selection of your kitchen and which are the top 5 colours you must never pick for your cooking space. 

5 Colours To Never Pick For Kitchen 

1. Pink - Although pink is often associated with love and devotion, Vastu views it as too delicate for the kitchen. It could cause you to lose interest in cooking and become lethargic. If you want to utilise pink, do it sparingly and combine it with other brighter colours.

2. Grey - Although grey may look like a classy and neutral colour, in Vastu it denotes indifference and apathy. A drab kitchen can depress the happy energy required for cooking and dining and create a repetitive atmosphere. Grey should be used sparingly or in conjunction with brighter colours. 

3. White - White is frequently linked to cleanliness, yet in a kitchen, it can be overdone. An all-white kitchen in Vastu might provide a cold, devoid of warmth and energy environment. You can use white as a secondary colour or blend it with other hues like green or yellow to keep everything in balance. 

4. Brown - Although the Earth element's colour brown may seem appropriate for the kitchen, using too much of it can make the space feel drab and uninspiring. It may impede development and wealth. If you choose brown, make sure it's balanced with lighter colours to keep the atmosphere peaceful.

5. Red - Red is not an ideal colour for a kitchen, even though it is sometimes connected to passion and vigour. Red is deemed too strong for this particular spot in Vastu. It can exacerbate rage, induce restlessness, and even trigger overindulgence in food. Think about utilising it sparingly as an accent colour in place of red.
