The Most Popular Reds EVER

Red has been one of my favorite trends which seemed to peak in our isolated market somewhere around 2008. The most popular shades in this category have influenced interior color schemes for centuries. In each red color trend over recent decades, certain shades have distinguished themselves and remain timeless:

Cottage Red (which is my favorite), Caliente #AF-290, Brick Red #2084-10, and Dinner Party #AF-300. You could even add Classic Burgundy, Country Redwood, and maybe even Tea #2091-10 (even-though Tea is a rusty terracotta). **


The good news is that there are only a few reds which are generally appealing and contain that glamorizing/rich look. If you're feeling the craving for red then don't get too freaked out. Your choices are fairly simple. 


The psychology of red is interesting as well. Red influences us in different ways: increases enthusiasm, stimulates energy, encourages action and confidence and incites passion!


Red is a freakin' fabulous color. I hope you can find the appropriate use in your space to spice things up.
