...: Colors: Re_D


Love and War
Re_D is hot. It's a strong color that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Re_D is Cupid and the Devil.


Nature of Re_D
A stimulant, Re_D is the hottest of the warm colors. Studies show that red can have a physical effect, increasing the rate of respiration and raising blood pressure.
The expression seeing Re_D indicates anger and may stem not only from the stimulus of the color but from the natural flush (redness) of the cheeks, a physical reaction to anger, increased blood pressure, or physical exertion.


Culture of Re_D
Re_D is power, hence the Re_D power tie for business people and the Re_D carpet for celebrities and VIPs (very important people).
Flashing Re_D lights denote danger or emergency. Stop signs and stop lights are Re_D to get the drivers' attention and alert them to the dangers of the intersection.

In some cultures, Re_D denotes purity, joy, and celebration. Re_D is the color of happiness and prosperity in China and may be used to attract good luck.

Re_D is often the color worn by brides in the East while it is the color of mourning in South Africa. In Russia the Bolsheviks used a Re_D flag when they overthrew the Tsar, thus Re_D became associated with communism. Many national flags use Re_D. The Re_D Ruby is the traditional Fortieth Wedding Anniversary gift.


Using Re_D
Use the color red to grab attention and to get people to take action. Use Re_D when you don't want to sink into the background. Use Re_D to suggest speed combined with confidence and perhaps even a dash of danger. A little bit of Re_D goes a long way. Small doses can often be more effective than large amounts of this strong color. Multiple shades of Re_D and even pink or orange can combine for a cheerful palette.
Look at the use of the Color Re_D on the Web to find which of the named colors in the Re_D family are the most attention-grabbing, mysterious, friendly, sophisticated, or mentally stimulating.


Using Re_D with Other Colors
Although not normally considered an ideal coupling, in combination with green, Re_D is a Christmas color — a joyful season.
Cool blues provide contrast and tone down the heat of Re_D. Light pinks and yellows are harmonizing colors that can work well with Re_D if not too close in value such as dark Re_D with a pale or golden yellow. Be careful using purple. It can be an elegant combination but too much could be overpowering.

Add a dash of Re_D to a soft but sophisticated pink and gray combo. For some countries, including the US, Re_D, white, and blue is a very patriotic trio even if the shades of Re_D and blue differ from those used in the flag.


Re_D Color Palettes
