Red Hues

Warm Up Your Room with REDS!

Just imagine how drab life would be without color! Nothing around us but black white and grays – depressing thought! Color says so much about you and your own personality. Let’s look at how you might incorporate Red into your decorating scheme.

Red manifests vitality and achievement, the will to win. Action and effectiveness are aims of those who find red appealing. Your impulse is toward DOING in every form – sports, competitive struggle and enterprising productivity. Red is an exciting magnetic enlivening color… one that speeds up the pulse.

Most people enjoy more than one favorite color. If Red is your primary color, let’s look at what it means when you combine this color with other hues:

Grey - Red signifies a toning down of impulsive action.
Green - Red suggest controlled initiative
Blue - Red indicates a joint promise of emotional fulfillment and harmony
Yellow-Red is an indication that you are a lively active outgoing person
Violet-Red means that you’re attracted toward things that fascinate, stimulate and enthrall.
Brown-Red means that you have a sensual nature

And since Red is a warm color it means that overall you tend to surround yourself with stimulating and exciting colors and decorative accents.
