I hear red

Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.-- Oscar Wilde

Not Chinese Red, but lovely

The verdict on black was a big NO in yesterday's post. Only two commenters had the guts to go for black.

So how about red? Or more precisely, Chinese Red?

 

Chinese Red leans heavily in the orange direction. Think of the color of a very ripe tomato.

 

Would you incorporate this color in your decor?

It doesn't necessarily have to have an Asian feel.
It is certainly at home in Western design.

 It can feel too orange if paired with certain other colors.

So, would you incorporate Chinese red in your house?
Would you do it in a big way, like on the walls?

I will not think any less of those who hate it, but I will tell you that it is one of my favorite colors. It energizes me and makes me happy. You could even say it speaks to my soul.
