The Joy of Vibrant Red Color
It is the color of the life force. The color red invokes many psychological
associations: courage, passion, love, excitement, danger, martyrdom, anger,
fire, and strength. It is a lively color, and often recommended for areas of the
home where entertaining is encouraged, such as the living room and dining room.
Red is the most obvious of all the colors in the spectrum, and is extremely
striking when used sparingly in a monochromatic decor. Infants, practically
blind at birth, can differentiate only three tones: red, black, white (and the
variations of gray in between.) That is why it is said that red is everyone’s
first favorite color. Perhaps this is why red is so intriguing when used as a
contrasting accent. The burst of vibrant red is unexpected, and gives a
sophisticated look to a monochromatic color scheme.
In this room decor, red looks masterfully placed, but is simply the result of observing one of the
best kept secrets of decorating.
Use red sparingly in a neutral or
monochromatic decor, and you will know the saying, “less is more.” And don’t
forget, the color red comes in a variety of different tones and hues. |
