There is no season to purchase a new car and every time you visit the market you will always find a bevy of new cars. People nowadays have a lot of options to choose from and one can get a car according to the size of their pockets.

One thing that people often get confused of is the colour of the car. The colour should be chosen keeping in mind the principles of feng shui so that the car comes to you with a positive energy.

Some people simply go for their favourite colours and some choose by taking weather conditions and dirt factor into consideration.

There are times when all your predictions fail, which means the time to use feng shui has come.

Feng shui has been used by people from ancient times and is popularly used for rearranging things and also for selecting colours. Individual feng shui helps you choose colours based on your personality and persona. Feng shui gives each individual unique number that is based on gender and date of birth.

This is known as their kua number. Keeping the kua number in mind, the colour should be chosen so that the car you purchase also brings luck with it.

Some of the colours that you can consider for your car are as follows:

Red: A red car gives an impression that you are a passionate person. You have the ability to lead a group and are also a leader by nature.

You have a bold personality and are not afraid to speak in front of anyone. Too much of risk taking from your end might make you land in danger at times but you can overcome the negative barriers coming your way. They are the top-rated cars when talking about theft and so they have high insurance rates.

Yellow: Yellow car owners tend to be happy and have an optimistic view for life. You remain satisfied with your life without looking for much more. You are also blessed with a good health. Your high self-confidence makes you a valuable person.

Blue: When talking about cars, blue come in two shades — one of which is dark and the other that is light. Dark blue car owners tend to be loyal and value relationships. You are more likely to work in a corporate environment involving cubicles and middle management. On the other hand, light blue colour makes you peaceful by heart, with strong parental instincts.

Black: If you have a black car you desire power and want to be considered a figure of authority among your peers. You want to send a message that you are not someone to be messed up with and that you are self-assured in your ability to get the upper hand in any situation.

Apart from choosing the colour, you can use music to set the mood to relax on a long drive. Remember loud, aggressive music encourages aggressive driving. So, avoid it. If you have a personal connection with your car then you can even give it a sweet name.

The colours may sound a bit funny, but choosing the colour according to your personality also adds up luck to your car.
