Red is the Colour for all Seasons

Red is the colour of blood, rubies and strawberries and       

lots of things in nature around us. Red can vary in hue from                   

orange­red to violet­red. and for each hue there are a wide                   

variety of shades and tints, from very light pink to dark                   

burgundy. Red has found present in the dresses of almost                 

all regions in the world. Red is the colour that represents                   

passion and vivaciousness. The brighter shade of Red represents the positive aspects                     

of our lives.

It has been observed that the choice of a colour is normally based on the surroundings                             

of the person. When the weather is hot and humid, the choice is usually pastel shades                             

that will bring calmness and are soothing to the eyes. In the autumn season when the                             

trees have shed all their leaves and when the summer is transitioning to winter, the                           

choice of colours are usually those shades that will add some colour in the                         

surroundings. In the winter     

season, when the weather is       

cold outside and the     

landscape is covered in a       

snowy blanket, the choice of       

colour is usually those which       

add a dash to the otherwise         

pale surroundings.

However, there is one colour that is found all around the year. This is the colour of all                                 

seasons – RED. Given the fact that the winter season has set in and very soon the                               

outside will be pale and gloomy and at times snowy. Redwill add that bit of dash which                               

will act as a mood elevator. It will enhance the beauty of the element on which it will be                                   

used. Likewise in the summer season, when the preferred choice are pastel shades of                         

yellow, blue, green or grey a touch of Red adds vibrancy to the surroundings and the                             

element that has this colour stands out.

Over the years, the designers have mastered the art of using a mixed                       

palate of colour s to enhance the beauty of the elements they design. Be                       

it dresses like tops, skirts, jewellery or purses and bags, Red is                     

undoubtedly the choice.

In many parts of the world, Red colour is also considered to be very                         

auspicious. In countries like China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and                 

several South American countries, Red colour is used in               

the traditional worshipping practices. In countries like           

India red is the colour of the vermilion and is used for daily                       

used by married women and for special worshipping             

rituals.
