Red is the most intense hue in the entire color spectrum. Red evokes excitement, movement, energy, passion and action. Viewing the color red can raise your blood pressure and your heart rate.
Red is often used as a visual call-to-action in stores and on websites to encourage product purchases. Many online video play buttons are red to compel site users to watch these visual ads, performances and presentations. Red also elicits feelings of happiness and well-being and is often used in producing children’s toys, books and other items.
If you have a red couch at home, it will undoubtedly become the most popular sitting and lounging spot in the house.
Colors and styles of throw pillows that are ideal for decorating and enhancing your stunning red sofa include the following:
