Keep in mind the diagram of the interactions between 5 elements.

Choose materials and colors that correspond to your Chinese Zodiac Element.
- If element is Wood, the main material is bamboo or wood; The colors are green and Verdure.
- If element is Water, the main material is crystal; The colors are black and dark blue.
- If element is Metal, the main material is metal; The colors are white and silver.
- If element is Earth, the main material is jade gemstone; The colors are yellow, Brown, Apricot.

Based on the interactions between the wuxings, you can choose materials and colors based on your main element or based on the element that strengthens your element or the element that your element is stronger on. For example, if your element is wood, you can choose the material and color of the wood element, the water element, or the earth element. But don't choose materials and colors based on fire and metal elements.
