PINKS AND REDS
Energetic, fun and lively ... if you live in a party house this is your page!
Red is a strong and positive colour. It builds energy and is full of warmth. It is perfect for an active room - a kitchen or a gym. It makes food taste better and people feel happy. It may not be considered relaxing but it's an intimate colour and would create a wonderfully rich snug area too. Accents of red are scattered through my house and always uplift me. However, If scarlet breaks you out in a fever head toward pinker tones or burgandy to get the richness without the glare.
If you are concerned with its connotations towards anger try pink instead of red - it remains in the red family carrying all the same positive attributes but is also known to diffuse confrontation not create it, it is a softer tone and can bring out the warmth in red when used together.
