Valentine’s Day is almost here so I decided to write about the color red.

Red is the color of passion and strength.  The color red is visually stimulating and is often used in restaurants to increase the appetite.  The expression “seeing red” implies the strength and force of this color. Red is dramatic and an  intensely exciting color.  Painting a front door red is considered good luck. For many cultures the color symbolizes strength. If you want to add more heat  and intensity to your surroundings just think of the color of a red hot chili pepper for your inspiration.  I think of Pompeii red when I want to describe the deep orange red color seen there on the many frescoed walls. Red is truly one of the most powerful colors in the spectrum. I suppose that is why Tiger Woods wears a red shirt during the final round of his golf tournaments although I don’t think it has been helping him win. If you are looking to spice up your life put on some red and see what happens.
