Auspicious Colours to wear in the Year of the Snake 
(source 'her world PLUS' and 'fengshui.about.com')

2013 is the Year of the Water element - the Water Snake - so to be in harmony with the energy of the year and befriend the ruling Water Snake energy, it is recommended to wear the colours of the Water feng shui element - all shades of blue and black.

You can wear not only clothing, but all sorts of accessories in the blue-black colour scheme, such as jewellery, belts, scarfs, etc. To make it even more powerful, you can choose jewellery with natural crystals and stones with the presence of water energy, such as turquoise, aquamarine, pearls, kyanite, lapis lazuli and moonstone. Or, go for black colour ones, such as black obsidian, black tourmaline or black onyx.

In addition to water element, you can also wear the colours of the Metal element, because in the productive cycle of five feng shui elements Metal creates/supports Water. So, colours white and gray/metallic are also good in the coming year of the Water Snake 2013.

Are there colours that is best to avoid in the New Year, or at least for the New Year celebration? Yes, for sure. Least favourable colours in 2013 are the colours of Earth and Fire feng shui elements, respectively all earthy/light browns and strong yellow, orange and red colours.
