Listen to our Executive Director being interviewed on WCMU radio talking about RED!
|
Theme: The color RED has more personal associations than any other color. Recognized as a stimulant, red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived. Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element.
RED can take on many meanings depending on which shade or variation is being used:
Light red represents joy, sexuality, passion, sensitivity, and love.
Pink signifies romance, love, and friendship and passiveness.
Dark red is associated with vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, malice, and wrath.
Reddish-brown is associated with harvest and fall.
