Learn more Ayurveda's wisdom for daily life in lectures with Erin Casperson on Kripalu Connect: To pacify pitta with color, think about a cool palate-seaside colors like light gray, white, blues, and greens-nothing too harsh or intense. They will be quick to pick a color, and will keep it simple. Pittas are very organized and love to make things perfect. The same goes for the dark purples for vata and earth tones for kapha. For example, if you are a fiery pitta and paint all of your walls bright yellow and red, it could increase your intensity.
Kapha, the watery-earthy dosha, is linked to white and sometimes pale yellow or green.īecause Ayurveda teaches that we need to balance our nature with opposites, choose colors that balance your dosha, rather than increasing it. Fiery pitta dosha is yellow, red, and orange, all the colors of the fire element. Vata, composed of space and wind elements, is described as blue, black, purple and indigo like the sky. Not sure what your dosha is? Take our quiz. Here’s how Ayurveda designates colors for each of the doshas. Cool colors ease pitta, and keeping it simple with just one color kept my vata in balance, because I didn’t have to face decision fatigue standing in front of the zillion shades at the paint store. This spring, I painted all of my rooms a color called Gray Owl, with white hallways and trim. And when I’m choosing colors, I lean into Ayurveda and my pitta-vata nature. I love to paint the walls in my house-I find it meditative.
