Militta creates her publications for people, so I have to adapt to the wishes of my readers in many ways. Of course, no matter how hard I try, I can't please everyone. My publications even offend someone, and there's nothing you can do about it, such is life - you can't please everyone. But I keep trying, and every season I release publications dedicated to dresses of different colors, including red dresses.
In the publication you can see many dresses, but not all of them are truly red, and the point here is the variety of shades of red.
Modern monitors display about a billion different colors! Until recently, this could not even be dreamed of, and even earlier, even in the perception of people, the colors of the world seemed much simpler and poorer. Some peoples saw 6 colors in the rainbow, others only 5, and ancient people managed with only three colors - black, white and red.
Although in fact, even modern monitors cannot convey all the colors of the universe, where the number of shades in the spectrum tends to infinity, because the universe itself is infinite. But in any case, we cannot contain infinity. Man is a very limited creature. Therefore, more than a billion colors and shades are enough for us, let's try to deal with them.
Let's start with shades of red
Red has many shades, for example, the color of burgundy, or, as they began to say from the middle of the 20th century, burgundy, is defined as one of the shades of red. This color is darker than scarlet.
Exist hellfire color It is a lilac shade of red. The sonorous name makes you wonder who managed to see the hellish flames in order to return from there and tell.
And everyone's favorite the color of the frightened nymph's thigh- (French “cuisse de nimfe ?mue”) - a playful name for a pale pink color associated with the aesthetics of the French Rococo style of the first half of the 18th century. Associated with ancient images of nymphs and the goddess of the morning dawn, Eos, or the Roman Aurora (in other versions of the translation from French: “the color of the thigh of a touched, embarrassed or hurt nymph”). Perhaps it arose at the beginning of the 19th century with the advent of a new variety of roses.
magenta color- bright red
Adelaide- red shade of lilac. According to other sources, dark blue. In the 40-50s of the XIX century. used in the press: found in Turgenev and Dostoevsky.
Moscow fire - similar to the color of crushed lingonberries.
Solferino- bright red. The color was named after the Battle of Solferino in the Austro-Italian-French War.
Charlach- bright red.
Then you can list and list the names of colors. All this is very interesting, but in any case, you will forget most of it tomorrow, so to standardize the colors, each shade was assigned numerical values.
Standardization allows you to have a fairly accurate idea of a number of the most used colors, especially those that are part of the web palette. But what about other, more subtle and peculiar shades? What exactly do the colors of solferino or scarlet look like?
You can use the collections of illustrations, which are a great many on the Internet. In the photo below you can see the richness of shades of red, but I immediately warn you, we can see different shades, it all depends on a number of factors, for example, on your monitor.
Another color can change when passing through the optics of the camera, then the shades undergo changes in the matrix and the electronic part of the camera. This is followed by processing on a computer, where the monitor takes part, and then comes printing, which is also not perfect.
Pure red refers to warm tones. It can be even more "warmed up" by adding yellow tints to it. The warmest red tends to orange.
If you want to "cool" the red color, add blue-blue shades. Red gradually "cools down" and slowly approaches purple.
Correspond to our real or ideal I. To the character that we have, or the one that we would like to have. If we want to make a certain impression, we will also unconsciously choose the right shade for this.
White- a symbol of purity and perfection. In the Christian tradition, the color of holiness, virtue, divinity. People who choose white as their color are usually neat, decent and sincere. Or they want to appear as such (do not forget, right?).
Grey chosen by people who are afraid to express themselves too loudly. Or they want to be inconspicuous in order to get something (“grey eminence”). Gray is the color of neutrality. This is the perfect background for any other color, for any manipulation or play. He gives strength to those who are weak and vulnerable.
Pink- the color of softness, tenderness, kindness and sentimentality, the color of dreams and dreams. If you love pink, then you do not tolerate cruelty and violence in any of its manifestations. A person who chooses this color for himself prefers to live in an easy, comfortable world, invented by himself. Pink dulls aggression and nervousness, so it is good for people who are very irritated and who find it hard to pull themselves together.
However, too much pink around can lead to complete detachment from the world. Be careful with people who like pink - they are very vulnerable.
Blue- Cooling and soothing color. Blue (despite stereotypes) is the color of femininity, motherhood. Symbolizes peace, tranquility, carelessness. Conducive to rest and relaxation.
Yellow- the lightest color. A symbol of lightness, liveliness, brightness and joyful perception of life. It is chosen by people who are contact, curious, optimistic, accustomed to attracting the attention of others. If a person completely rejects yellow, then he is in a state of emptiness, isolation, or extreme irritation.
Orange- the color of warmth, bliss, joy, the color of energy, freedom and strength. Symbolizes development, focus on success. Orange is also the color of enlightenment; it is not for nothing that Buddhist monks wear it. It reveals the hidden possibilities of a person, helps to get rid of fears and depression, relieves tension in all conflicts.
Violet embodies all non-standard. This is the color of our fantasy, magic, magic. The one who loves him not only wants to be bewitched, but he himself longs to possess witchcraft power. The rejection of purple indicates the desire to establish as clear a relationship with people as possible.
All of the above, of course, must be taken with a certain degree of conventionality. And do not forget that we live in a world of shades, halftones and intricately mixed colors.
Painting - paint, color, it is embedded inside our body. Her outbursts are great and demanding.
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich
rainbow psychology
All of us in childhood rejoiced at the appearance of a rainbow in the sky after the last rain. Everyone tried to memorize the number and sequence of the colors of the rainbow. Who among us does not remember such funny phrases as:- To every O hotnik F does W nat, G de With goes F azan
- To ak O once F ak- W vonar G tin With broke F onar.
- And other options.
- To each - red;
- O hotnik - orange;
- F elaet - yellow;
- W nat - green;
- G de - blue;
- With goes - blue;
- F azan - purple.
But we did not think at that time that each color affects us, our character and our life to one degree or another.
And, now, having already become adults, we can trace the psychological connection of a certain color we prefer with one or another trait of our character.
People who are annoyed by this color have an inferiority complex, fear of quarrels, a tendency to solitude, stability in relationships. Red color symbolizes excitement, energy. This color is also a symbol of eroticism.
Disgust, ignoring red reflects organic weakness, physical or mental exhaustion.
Prisoners of war, forced to live in life-threatening conditions for years, rejected him especially often.
Red color is most preferred by teenagers.
When he is loved, it means sociability, curiosity, courage, easy adaptability and enjoyment of the opportunity to please and attract people to him.
When he is unpleasant, then we are talking about a person who is concentrated, pessimistic, with whom it is difficult to make acquaintance. Yellow is obtained by mixing green and red and is the color of energy.
The greatest preference for yellow is given by pregnant women who are expecting a successful outcome of childbirth, as well as people prone to changing places.
Yellow is also interpreted as the color of illumination (halo/aura of Christ or Buddha).
The one who prefers it is afraid of someone else's influence, looking for a way of self-assertion, since this is vitally important for him. Anyone who does not love him is afraid of everyday problems, the vicissitudes of fate, in general, all difficulties.
The green color contains hidden potential energy, reflects the degree of volitional tension, so people who prefer green color strive for self-confidence and confidence in general.
Eccentric people, who achieve their goals not with purposeful volitional activity, but through emotions, reject the green color as unsympathetic.
Along with them, the green color is rejected by people who are on the verge of mental and physical exhaustion.
If you like him, then this speaks of modesty and melancholy; such a person often needs to rest, he quickly gets tired, it is extremely important for him to have a sense of confidence, the benevolence of others.
In the rejection of this color, a person is revealed who wants to give the impression that he can do everything in the world. But, in essence, he is a model of uncertainty and isolation. Indifference to this color speaks of a well-known frivolity in the field of feelings, although hidden under the mask of courtesy.
In short, the choice of blue as the most preferred color reflects the physiological and psychological need of a person for peace, and the rejection of it means that a person avoids relaxation.
With illness or overwork, the need for blue increases.
The one who prefers to dress in black often perceives life in dark colors, is insecure, unhappy, prone to depression, because he has no doubt that his ideals in life are unattainable.
The frequent change of a black suit or dress to another, brighter, catchy one, indicates that pessimistic moods are often dispelled. The constant choice of black indicates the presence of a certain crisis state and characterizes an aggressive rejection of the world or oneself (recall the black banners of anarchists).
Children who are acutely experiencing the lack of care and love often use black shading in the drawing. Normally, black is generally rejected.
It is also a neutral color that is preferred by those who are afraid to make themselves known too loudly. If you don’t like this color, then this is an indicator of an impulsive, frivolous character.
Often the gray color is also preferred in case of severe overwork as a barrier that separates from the stimuli of the outside world. In situations of psychological testing, this color is used as a means of protection against the penetration of another into the inner world of the test subject.
A study of about 2,000 young men in a situation of competitive examinations for vacancies showed that 27% of the subjects put gray in the first place instead of the usual 5% in a normal situation.

Perhaps, from the entire color spectrum, red is the most powerful color, it seems to “clog” all other colors. There is a lot of controversy and discussion about the red color by psychologists, color therapists, as well as historians and scientists. It is called a symbol of aggression and passion, health and danger, sexuality and sudden embarrassment. It evokes a feeling of physical courage, warmth and tension at the same time.
The red color is noticeable always and everywhere, it constantly attracts the eyes of others, it’s not for nothing that almost all government offices in the world have the presence of red in the room, because with the red color people make more bets and play with great excitement, so it is used in sectors where they play big . Red is the color of excitement, it excites, evokes passion, stimulates emotions and desire, and therefore many color therapists recommend it to those who have problems in the intimate sphere.
Since red is the color of stubborn, bold and domineering people, it most likely indicates that you are a decisive and quick-tempered person, sometimes aggressive, full of vitality and optimism, willing to argue, but not always patient with those who do not share their views. It should not be used for people with high blood pressure or who are overly sensitive. Too much red can make you agitated and even aggressive.
Have you hinted to your boss about your salary, that he would raise it for you, but he does not pay any attention to you? Try wearing something red before the annual assessment. There is a chance that this eye-catching color will remind your boss of your request. Just don’t forget, you shouldn’t wear a red suit when you are going to speak at a conference or when talking with your boss: such a toilet will not look spectacular, since prolonged perception of the red color can cause tension and aggression in your opponent towards you.
Psychologists note that the lack of red shades in a woman's wardrobe can be the cause of the disorder, but their overabundance, on the contrary, can cause aggression. This is because red is a very energy-intensive color and is deservedly considered the color of passion and strength. You won’t believe it, but fashion designers believe that red color suits all women without exception in clothes!
And it doesn’t matter what age they are, what eye color, skin color or hair color they have. And if a woman also understands why she wants to wear red clothes right now, then she will certainly achieve her goal. What does it say, what does it induce and what is the red color capable of if it is present in clothes?
Red in clothes is a sign of leadership. Red is considered by psychologists to be very powerful and speaks of the presence of leadership qualities, power and passion in the personality of the person who wears it.
Red in clothes is the personification of love. When it comes to love, red is also in the lead. It symbolizes comfort, eroticism, passion and comfort. Also, red is considered a guardian and protector for beautiful and lovely ladies.
Red in clothes is a cure for depression. When a woman is in a state of depression, red and all its shades can come to the rescue in the fight against a bad mood. Psychologists offer women to put on something red or scarlet, make up their lips with red lipstick, eat the famous strawberries and then there will be no trace of depression.
Red in clothes is a call to action. It has also been proven that red and its shades move a person to accomplish deeds and decisive actions. Moreover, red encourages action not only of its owner, but also of the surrounding people.
Red in clothes is a provocation of passion. The red color, when a woman puts it on, will certainly attract attention. There are no men who would not pay attention to the fair sex, dressed in red. The color itself and its owner will surely catch the eye of men, and will cause an increased heartbeat, as well as increase blood pressure.
The spectrum of red includes cherry blossom, raspberry, carmine, burgundy, pink and scarlet.
Do you want a man to pay attention to you? Forget the little black dress - men prefer women in red! This is the conclusion reached by psychologists and scientists in the course of sociological research.
It turns out that a woman in a crimson, scarlet or red dress seems to men more attractive, desirable and sweet. A man in a dress of these tones is more often invited by a man on a date.
In addition, in the company of a woman in red, any man becomes more generous.
Scientists explain this effect by the fact that the red color affects the emotions of a man and subconsciously associates him with sex.
Experts came to such conclusions in the course of a scientific experiment. The men were shown photographs of the same women, but in blouses of different colors: red, blue, green, gray.
The most attractive representatives of the stronger sex seemed to be women in red blouses. With such ladies, the gentleman was ready to spend 2 times more at dinner than with women in blue blouses.
Men prefer women in red
Red has long been considered a color to which men react with such a clear and quick "folding" of the head when the owner of scarlet clothing passes by them. Today, scientists can explain the reason why men really prefer women who wear red. As it turned out, they consider the fairer sex in red sexually more accessible. Most men believe that such women easily enter into intimacy on the first date.
Psychologists interviewed 120 young people aged 18 to 21. Most of them stated that when women choose red in clothes, they are much more willing to have sexual adventures and are more prone to such adventures than those who choose clothes of neutral colors. It has also been proven that the item of clothing does not play such a huge role as its color. For example, women in ordinary red T-shirts were perceived by men as well as ladies in dresses of the same tone.
Previous research has shown that men will flirt more with women who wear red. They are also more relaxed in the presence of ladies in scarlet outfits.
Red is associated with many people with love, passion and romantic mood, as well as the love of a woman. However, the effect of red can also be explained in terms of biology: during the mating season, to attract individuals of the opposite sex in monkeys, macaques and chimpanzees, the crotches of females become bright red.
As the experiment showed, a woman dressed even in an ordinary T-shirt, but in a juicy red color, seems very sexy and attractive to men. It is noteworthy that many of the respondents noted that the red color in clothes adds status to its owner. A woman in red clothes seems to have a higher position in society, which she actually has.
Women in red are more attractive to the opposite sex for associative reasons. Red is a symbol of passion. The effect of this color is inexplicable, it works at the subconscious level. A man considers a woman in red as the most striking sexual object, and perceives her clothes as an invitation to sex and a signal of readiness.
The benefits of red
Red color is useful for all women, from birth to the end of their life, red color is the power of Mars, which should protect them. Red is said to protect all women on earth from danger.
