Red in design

Red gets your attention. It promotes action and activity, so you will find that many companies use red in their logos and designs. It can also signify danger. A good use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element.

Like many colors, red also has its fair share of both positive and negative connotations:

Positives include: love (red roses and red hearts), passion (red-blooded), sexiness – (red lipstick, red sports cars) and festivity (Christmas, Santa Claus)

Negatives include: war, revolution and anarchy (red flag), danger (stop signs, traffic lights, and fire)

Red is considered a warm color in landscape design. Its appearance in the garden has an energetic effect and of course is the complementary colour to the green in a garden
