## Vastu Colors for Main Door Entrance
The main door is the mouth of the house — the point through which energy, opportunity, and abundance enter. Choose colour based on the door's facing direction.
*East-facing door** — green or light wood tones (wood element). **North-facing door** — deep blue or teal (water element). **West-facing door** — white or grey (metal element). **South-facing door** — orange (fire element, safer than deep red).
*Universal choices:** White, cream, and yellow/golden tones work for any direction and are the most universally auspicious.
*Avoid:** Red (broadcasts aggression) and black (absorbs positive energy at the threshold).

FAQ — Vastu Colors for Main Door — White, Green, Yellow & What to Avoid
Q.Which colour is best for main door as per Vastu?
Colour depends on facing direction: east = green, north = deep blue/teal, west = white/grey, south = orange. Universal safe choice: yellow or golden tones for any direction. White and cream are the second universal choice. Avoid black and red as dominant main door colours.
Q.Can I paint my main door red as per Vastu?
Red is not recommended as the dominant main door colour. It broadcasts confrontational energy and is believed to invite friction and conflict. Even for south-facing doors where fire colours are appropriate, orange or warm terracotta is preferred. If you have a red door, add a brass nameplate and green plants on both sides to mitigate the effect.
Q.Is black colour good for main door as per Vastu?
Black is not recommended for most homes. It absorbs positive energy at the threshold. For north-facing doors, deep navy or dark teal is preferred over pure black even though water element technically corresponds to black/blue.
