White
Associated with the element Metal, the color white is related to businesses, health and social relationships. The color symbolizes peace and invites calmness and tranquility. Thus, implementing shades of white in a room can bring out a versatile and elegant ambiance.
Blue
When one thinks of the color blue, it would usually be related to trust, honesty, and loyalty.
