The Emotional Impact of the Colour Red

Katherine Joy's signature colour


Red creates the highest arousal threshold in humans. So from negligees to sports cars to food, red stimulates all kinds of appetites - it is true that red literally can turn you on. This is why adding red to your decor in the dining room and in the bedroom are very good choices! Red is the colour of passion, power and vitality. Red increases enthusiasm, stimulates energy, encourages action and confidence and provides a sense of protection from fears and anxiety.
