RED-FLAG!

Can we stop the race of ... colors?!!! Red is a stopping matter for the eye (among the other color competitors 😉). There is something very ironic that the red color can be at the same the official color of the republicans in U.S.A. and the communists in China (or it is more significant than we think first!). Red is also the color of almost all Fire Departments around the world. It used to be the same for the ambulances before they adopt the yellow. The Red Cross organization is also renowned for its distinctive color. Red is often the color of opposition.

Not everybody will wear the red color on a complete garment except, may be, for a minor accessory (with a major effect 😄). For many, red will hurt the eyes and will be interpreted as a violent color, the one of our blood. We see a lot of red color in sports and many teams have adopted it on their uniform.

Variations of the red color are also highly surprising. Take the rose for example or the orange to understand that the significant of color can be drastically different with another tonal combination. In nature, the red color is not by far a dominant one even if its presence can be spectacular to say the least.

At the end, nobody underestimates the importance of the red color, love it or not!
