Red is matter, brutal and heavy and always the color which must be fought and vanquished by blue and yellow.
Red is a color tha occupies a place between the liveliness of light and the quiet of dark colors. It thus has an expression of dignity, magnificence, and pomp.
Red is the most territorial of colors. It protects itself. It stakes a claim and is on the alert against the spectrum.
Red is a color that gives life to the human face by making the circulation of the blood transparent. In just this way it animates all surfaces where it appears, and enlivens all the harmonies in which it plays a part.
Red is the most potent of hues. If there is one electric blue, a dozen reds are so charged. One can use them to punctuate white, burn into bronzes, or dynamite black.
