The colour of fire is red. In fact all the reds, from pink through to deep magenta and burgundy are the colours of fire. The direction of fire is south, where it symbolises noon and the height of the day, summer and the fullness of the year… life at its most yang.

Objects in the home which represent fire, apart of course from fire itself in the shape of a roaring stove or lit candles, are anything in fire colours – red rugs, pictures, red painted walls. Triangular shapes – the shape of flames - are the shapes of fire.
