The color red is a bright, warm color the evokes strong emotion. Red is associated with love, passion, and comfort. Red demands a fine balance. Being surrounded by too much of the color red can cause us to become irritated, agitated and ultimately angry. Too little and we become cautious, manipulative and fearful.
My rule on the color red is use a little like red lips and red shoes or use a lot like a red dress with those red lips, but hold the red shoes. No matter your comfort level with the color red, I love how even a little can create such drama and happiness in a room!
