Reviewing: Red


To review a color. That's the end of that sentence. Sorry. A fun form of rhetoric I have come to know well. Now, Red is a great color. One of the top colors ever. It can symbolize love, rage, anger, another variant of strong passion type feeling, or anything an artist says it symbolizes. Red is the first color of a rainbow and kids associate it with apples and wagons. Apples and Wagons! Sign someone up... for that... for those apples and wagons. Now the strength of red is that it is a primary color- which means it gives birth to orange and purple. And oranges and purples. I can go on divulging about the off shoots of red (personal favorite: maroon), but red is what it simply is- not blue and not yellow. Sure it looks menacing when paired with black-- but what doesn't. The unerlying theme here is that it is a color, and with color everything is personal. Except skin color. So I'm not changing anyone's opinions about colors here. But I will say this- we can all do better than just red.
