How Colour Can Change Your Image: Red Part 5

I always believe, colour red is hot!  Gee, it is one of my favourite must wear colour!

How red colour affects our image?

Red – it conveys traits such as being confident, aggressive, assertive, exciting, stimulating, dramatic, exuberant, domineering, threatening, dangerous, and sinful and fiery.

When to Use Red

1. When you want to be noticed.
2. When you want a psychological boost of energy when you are tired.
3. When you want to attract the opposite sex (although be careful because it can be overwhelming).
4. When you want to display authority.

When to Avoid Red

1. When you are under a lot of stress.  Red can actually increase physical tension.
2. When you are not prepared o defend your position.
3. When meeting potential in-laws.
4. When being interviewed for a job.  Red may give the impression that you are more concerned about yourself than being a tea player.
5. When running a staff meeting and you want your colleagues to generate ideas.
