Nature, Interiors, logos, the web, our businesses, our clothing - we are surrounded by color. Have you wondered why you like a color? Or maybe why you feel certain ways when around certain colors? While there is a psychology to each color and here is some about the theory of RED.
Red is a strong and powerful color in my opinion. Red can create physical perceptions of SPEED, HEAT and even weight – red can be perceived as heavier in its purest form.
Did you know RED can make you hungry? Paint a red wall in a kitchen or a restaurant but if you want to relax I wouldn’t paint the wall red in that room.
Red is often associated with fire, blood, anger and sex.
Positive traits of RED:
- Passion
- Love
- Excitement
- Power
- Attention
- High energy
Negative traits of RED:
- Anger
- Immortality
- Battle
- Aggression
Red is a powerful color. It can stimulate your heart rate and breathing. It can make you hungry. It can make you a little moody, or angry. Red can symbolize the passion and spiciness of a person.
But RED is one of the most visually dominant colors. Think of all the large chain stores that have red as their primary logo color – Target, Coke, Costco, McDonald’s, Campbell’s Soup, Skittles – just to name a few.
