Hi Karen,

Is there any one color that organizers should encourage clients to introduce into their environment that will help them become better organized or
stay organized?

Karen's reply:

Yes, there are colours that can be used, but no general formula I can offer as solutions needs to be tailored to individual clients. However there is one colour that I always encourage professional organizers and their clients to avoid and that's black. Black decor, black clothing, too much black anything.

Black is actually not a colour but the absence of colour. If a person goes through a phase of wearing mostly black clothing it is symptomatic of them being spiritually lost. Black has its place in certain types of very advanced spiritual work but has to be used very specifically and wisely. A preponderance of black in the home attracts stagnant and low level energies, which encourages clutter to accumulate, and organizers who wear black increase the risk of picking up perverse energies while visiting the homes of clients who have clutter.

Grey, which is a mixture of white and black, is also not a good colour to use as it brings in frequencies of indecisiveness that promote rather than reduce procrastination.
