Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Diamond Feng Shui Colors Earth vs. Fire

One thing that is confusing me is that when they list the colors for earth, they list earth tones: yellow, orange, rose, brown, red, beige. However, when they list the colors for fire they list fire colors: red, orange, yellow, purple, rose, ruby, cherry red, fuchsia, magenta.

It seems like three of these colors overlap: yellow, orange, red. I know that fire produces earth, so are they saying that whenever you need earth colors, just use fire colors because they produce earth?

Thanks for any help.

They are a little more dull than the fire tones, which tend to be bright and more lively.
