Clothing Color Combinations
Whether your clothing color combinations are correct or not, the actual dressing effect will be a world of difference.
Five Elements
Only when you jump out of the Three Realms, then you are no longer subject to the Five Elements.
Everything in the world consists of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
The development and evolution of various phenomena in nature are also caused by the interaction of these five elements.
“Human”, as a part of nature, is composed of five elements too.
But the proportions of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water in each person’s body are different, and they are constantly changing.
Because of this, there are so many people in the world with completely different heights, shapes, and personalities.
Five Colors
In ancient China, the five primary colors were cyan, red, yellow, white, and black.
These five colors have a one-to-one correspondence with the five elements.
- Cyan | Wood
- Red | Fire
- Yellow | Earth
- White | Metal
- Black | Water
In addition, the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water respectively correspond to the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys of the human body, which are vital organs.
From this perspective, the five colors, which correspond to the five elements one-to-one, are also crucial in clothing color combinations.
Lucky/Favorable Elements
When one of the five elements accounts for too much in a person, one or two other elements may account for too little.
The lucky elements of BaZi restrain too prosperous elements, compensate for the weak elements, and balance the energy of each five elements, thus each element is neither too strong nor too weak.
However, there are two special cases:
- When a certain element is prosperous to the extreme, it is reasonable to follow its prosperous trend, choosing the favorable elements that promote this unstoppable trend;
For example, a person’s date & time of birth is 0:30 a.m. on December 8, 1972, and the photo below displays his or her horoscope:
Day Master Gui (Yin Water) is surrounded by the five elements that generate and promote water, and the water energy is unstoppably strong.
The favorable five elements for this Day Master are metal and water.
- In the same way, when a certain element declines to the extreme, it is reasonable to follow its decline and choose the lucky elements that promote the decline trend.
Another person was born at 0:30 in the morning on December 12, 1972, please refer to his/her BaZi Chart in the following photo:
The Day Master is Ding (Yin Fire) and the five elements around him restrain, release, and consume fire energy.
Thus, fire energy is hopelessly weak, so the lucky elements for this Day Master are earth, metal, and water.
Lucky Elements Confirming
How to determine your lucky elements?
Some people have their BaZi Chart calculated by a fortune teller when they were born, and they know their lucky elements right from the start;
If you haven’t calculated your BaZi Chart at birth, we recommend that you find a reliable fortune teller (be careful not to be cheated) to calculate;
Or put on cyan (green), red, yellow, white, or black clothes and observe which color looks best on you;
You could also recall which years were lucky in the past, and refer to the following lists to address favorable elements (double-check by trying on clothes in five colors):
- Year of Tiger/Rabbit (Yin/Mao): Wood
- Year of Snake/Horse (Si/Wu): Fire
- Year of Monkey/Rooster (Shen/You): Metal
- Year of Pig/Rat (Hai/Zi): Water
- Year of Dragon, Goat, Dog & Ox (Chen/Wei/Xu/Chou): Earth
Or think about whether you are lucky in the first half of the year or the second half.
For those who are lucky in the first half, wood and fire are favorable elements; for those who are lucky in the second half, metal and water are lucky elements.
After determining the lucky elements, when you choose clothing colors, choose the colors that correspond to the lucky elements.
- Cyan | Wood
- Red | Fire
- Yellow | Earth
- White | Metal
- Black | Water

Favorable Colors For Bill Gates
First, open the Astro Databank to confirm the exact birth time of Bill Gates.
Bill Gates was born at 10 p.m. on October 28, 1955, and the credibility is A (second highest, second only to AA).
BaZi Chart
Bill Gates is the day master of Ren (Yang Water), he was born in the month of Xu (Dry Yang Earth), and his earthly branch of year is the direct officer Wei (Dry Yin Earth).
The earthly branches of both month and day are seven killings (Xu/Dry Yang Earth), the direct officer & seven killings’ energy are too prosperous, thus the day master’s energy is weak.
10 Gods of BaZi
- DR & IR: Generate Day Master
- F & RW: Assist Day Master
- HO & EG: Release Day Master
- DW & IW: Consume Day Master
- DO & 7K: Overcome Day Master
Fortunately for Gates, his earthly branch of the hour is Hai (Yin Water), the day master gets a root, and his heavenly stem of the hour is Xin (Yin Metal), transforming the energy of the direct officer and seven killings into water (earth-metal-water).
The heavenly stem of the year is Yi (Yin Wood), and Yi is the hurting officer, who overcomes the direct officer and seven killings of the earthly branch and protects the day master;
His heavenly stem of the month (Bing) and the heavenly stem of the hour (Xin) combine into the water, which can also generate more energy for Bill Gates.
Lucky Color Combinations
On the whole, in Bill Gates’ BaZi chart, the lucky elements are the heavenly stem (Xin) & the earthly branch (Hai) of the hour, and his heavenly stem of the year (Yi).
The corresponding colors of Xin (Yin Metal), Hai (Yin Water), and Yi (Yin Wood) are white, black, and cyan/green respectively, and Bill Gates is more suitable for these 3 clothing colors.
Actual Dressing Effect
A sweater with the shirt collar makes the young Gates full of “freshness” and vitality;
The shiny smile is like the warm sun melting the ice and snow, and the kindness, cuteness, and harmlessness are reflected in the immature face.
Neither his sad face nor his upright posture on the bench could conceal the powerful aura exuding from his black suit jacket and white shirt.
The whole person’s energy is ready to burst out, just waiting to win the championship.
At first glance, it seems quite harmonious.
But upon closer look, Gates’ desire to confide coincides with the character of the Hurting Officer represented by green.
In green, the aging Gates does not look very old.
Red symbolizes passion, and a red shirt always seems a bit inconsistent with focused and restrained Gates.
Compared with the energy of red, the energy of the world’s richest man seems powerless, and the viewer completely focuses on the piece of red.
According to Gates’ BaZi Chart, the energy of Direct Office and Seven Killings is very very high, that is to say, the proportion of earth is very high.
In top yellow (Earth), the young man’s vitality is quite suppressed, because the Earth has a strong ability to restrain water, Gates is a Day Master of Yang Water (Ren).
The whole person looks a little cute and old-fashioned, with a sense of deja vu that “he is oblivious of the outside world and only focuses on typing the sage code”.
She Refuses To Wear Red
This woman’s date and time of birth is July 6, 1978, at 6 p.m.
The picture below shows her BaZi Chart:
As a day master of Ji (Yin Earth), the earthly branches of her year and month are both Wu (Yang Fire) and the earthly branch of her day is Si (Yin Fire).
The fire energy is extremely strong and severely overcomes her lucky element You (Yin Metal).
If she wears red clothes, it will catalyze the fire energy in her, because red corresponds to fire.
According to this lady’s feedback, when she goes out wearing red clothes, accidents often happen, and she either falls, gets injured, or even gets a bloody head!
Because of this, she wears black clothes almost every day!
Her feedback is a bit exaggerated, but it does reflect her likes and dislikes of the five elements.
It is true that “people live in the five elements”.
