Series: Color and Mood - Red "Nails/Fails"

Red has the longest wavelength in the color spectrum, so it is the easiest color to see - hence red stoplights. A classic in dining rooms, red is not for the faint of heart in living rooms and bedrooms. I leave it to you to determine if you have a "fight or flight" response to the following images...

Red: Physical

Positive aspects: Excitement, strength, courage, warmth, energy

Negative aspects: Aggression, defiance, strain

Great techniques run amok (lacquer and nailhead on walls)

...this is why I'm not a fan of the accent wall
