IS BLACK UNLUCKY?

According to Vaastu, black isn’t unlucky—balanced use brings energy, protection, and sophistication to spaces

Conscious Vaastu begins with awareness and practicality. It is a holistic approach to space, energy, and emotional well-being that encourages us to look beyond labels like “lucky” or “unlucky.”

One of the most misunderstood colours in Vaastu is black. People often ask: Is black unlucky? Why do elite people use black so confidently? If black is unlucky, why do people buy black cars or wear black clothes? These questions reflect a deeper confusion between cultural beliefs, scientific acts, and energetic understanding. Conscious Vaastu® offers a refreshing perspective: black is not inherently bad — it is powerful. And with power comes responsibility.

Science of black

Let’s begin with the scientific truth. Black is the colour that absorbs light and heat the most. When you wear black clothes on a hot summer day and step into the sun, you feel warmer than if you wore white. Isn't that true? Because black absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat. This is not a myth it is physics.

Similarly, black surfaces like black cars, black sofas, or black flooring — absorb more heat and energy than lighter colours. This makes them more prone to showing dust, fingerprints, and smudges. That’s why black furniture or black marble requires frequent cleaning. It’s not about unlucky; it’s about high and regular maintenance. Black colour is like sponge. It pulls in energy, heat, and even emotional residue. If not cleaned or balanced properly, it can feel heavy or stagnant.
