Toning: red on red

...quickens the pulse and sends the metabolism skyrocketing upwards.
...advances, halting the eye (think stop signs and traffic lights).
...excites. Picture 'Ferrari' red, Valentine's hearts and 'red light' districts.
Harmonising: red and yellow

...sexy in a 'Moulin rouge' style boudoir (think velvet drapes and black lace).
...sleek, chic and contemporary in an oriental-style living room.
...classic, in darker shades in a formal, Empire-look dining room.

Red inflames us. It is hot, stimulating, energising and downright sexy.
Contrasting: red and blue

...rouses appetites in dining rooms and to seduce in bedrooms.
...adds warmth, to unloved areas like hallways and stairways.
...stimulates activity in kitchens; avoid stress-inducing red in offices.
Neutral: red and white
