Dear Anon,

It is said that our luck is made up of three components:

1. Heaven Luck (can be examined by Ba Zi or Eight Characters / Pillars of destiny).

2. Earth Luck (Feng Shui)

3. Human (Man) Luck - (Relations with family ...)

What you had mentioned is specific only to Para 1 (Heaven Luck).

Traditionally, it is thru the use of colour assocations or best colours.

>Metal (white/gold) -> Water
>(blue/black/gray) -> Wood
>(green/brown)

For a strong water person, individually: Wood element is the best element to help reduce your strong water.

In addition, for a strong water person; Fire is his/her wealth element.

Yes, individually, colours can be used. But a metal - water wood combination is not favourable for a strong water person. (Specifically, metal element is not favourable as it helps fuel water element. (If one takes a simplistic view of JUST using the three).

A more balanced approach but difficult to apply in the practical world is the use of all five elements. This is because, the three element you had proposed does not include Fire element (your wealth element).

A better refinement would be all Five elements.

Often, clothing is but just one of the many things that need to be done. For example, our Ba Zi should also harmonize with our earth luck. When we consider our earth luck we must also consider the `birth-chart' of each home.

For example, for a strong water person, sleeping in say a room with bad earth elements; one can take advantage of wood element e.g. green in this room to `crush' the bad earth. However, although fire (pink, purple or red) is our wealth element, it would not be favourable to use `fire element' in this room. As fire can further fuel bad earth.
