RED. Red for passion. Red for love. Red for sex. Red for power. RED.

This is a color that encourages people to take action and make a a move with confidence. The truth is that red affects us physically, increasing enthusiasm, stimulating energy and increasing the blood pressure, heartbeat, and pulse rate. It provides a sense of protection from fears and anxiety.

What I like the most about this colour is that it has so many different meanings. In Chinese culture, red is associated with fire, fortune and summer. In Sweden, red was reserved for the privileged class and in Indiaa red mark on the forehead is said to bring good luck. To the Hindu people, this color symbolizes joy, life, energy, and creativity.

Red is the great clarifier - bright and revealing. I can't imagine becoming bored with red - it would be like becoming bored with the person you love.

Red is in fashion and it is not a trend. It is here to stay, at least from my point of view. It makes a strong visual impact in the collections of designers, in the catwalk and on the streets. It is a statement, it is powerful and exciting.

For me, this is one of my favorites colors.

I absolutely loved the lecture about this and I am thinking about making a mood board for myself about red. There are so many things to do with this color. So many songs about it. So many movie posters with it. I am in love. The thing is, I am very shy but whenever I wear something red, even if is just my socks or my panties, I feel strong and alive.

It reminds me of love and I LOVE IT.
