Welcome to Red
Red is a color best used cautiously. Its ability to attract attention makes it a priceless tool for designers, but excessive red will inhibit relaxation. Designing with lighter shades can emphasize the energetic aspects of red ~ including love, heat, and hunger ~ while the darker shades boast power, and even durability, such as a brick wall.
Below you can see all the reds. Copy and paste some of your favorites to use in digital color projects or hand off to your favorite Nerdy Web Guy to use in your next project.
Keep in mind it’s worth making a few selections both light and dark.
