True Blue

From electric blue to aqua - this season, fashion is cooling down.

While designers might have been feeling a little blue on the spring/summer 2009 catwalks when it came to their colour choices, there's no need for us to be feeling the same.

Hidden Meanings
Because red is the color of blood, it is associated with strength, health, and passion. For example, we admire rosy cheeks. Then there is the "Scarlet Letter" signifying a fallen and sinful woman; the red dress is also associated with the "ladies of the night."

In human color psychology, red is associated with heat, energy and blood, and emotions that "stir the blood", including anger, passion, and love.
