Red is the color of passion. A red wall or a bright red sunset lifts your heart and awakens your spirit. It is the feeling of walking on fire or dancing in a frenzy. Red can also be tranquil in its energy, making us determined. The relationship between red and our moods has a scientific foundation. Red increases blood pressure and speeds respiration and heart rate. Red can both stimulate and excite us and make us feel strong and courageous. Maybe this is because it’s the color of outstanding and unexpected moments in nature–vivid sunsets, brilliant roses. Red is the second-most popular color worldwide, together with green. In decoration it is most often used selectively, to add a spark and brighten an otherwise boring space. In make-up, it serves to enliven the face and make lips sparkle. It is the color of love, but also of action, and even violence. When you go out to “paint the town red,” the results are unpredictable, just like this vital color, but then a “red herring” can lead you astray.

• sad

• mad

• peaceful

• excited
