HISTORY & ATTRIBUTES
Before
After
Red was the first colour to be developed for painting and tinting. In ancient times, red was associated with war, wealth and power. During the Middle Ages, red held both religious significance (the blood of Christ) and, more secularly, signified love, glory and beauty. After the French Revolution, red gained in significance, now also associated with progressive movements. Dark red is a particularly intense shade of red, but also less vibrant, being less radical in these previously mentioned associations.
Dark red is considered to be one of the coldest shades of red, and can therefore be considered an autumn or winter colour.
How & why should i use it?
Like all reds, dark red is thought to increase appetite, boost adrenalin and raise blood pressure. As a result, this colour is widely used in restaurants. That said, dark red is very versatile and can be used for a variety of occasions. In interior design, dark red can add warmth to your space, or make a distinguished accent.
