Yellow, orange, rose, chocolate, and red are the ideal colours for the kitchen, according to Vastu. These hues are said to enhance appetite and digestion as well as produce a cheerful and energising atmosphere in the kitchen. Dark and drab hues, however, are to be avoided because they might give the kitchen a drab and dismal ambiance. These hues can serve to balance the energy flow and encourage prosperity in the kitchen by being used for the walls, tiles, or cabinetry.
