PALETTE TRENDS: Pale Red-Violet

Lavender-Yellow was the palette trend we discussed last month. Today we would like to talk about Red-Violet. We actually used the red-violet fabrics (from Castel 5 and Dedar 6) as a pillow combination and it was very exquisite, we have received many compliments on the charm of the rose-violet and tan combo. Here we show how red-violet doesn’t only work in girls’ rooms or Victoria Secret’s bags. This color scheme is an “accented analogic” meaning three colors near each other on the color wheel –violet, red-violet, and red– are accented by the complementary hue (opposite on the color wheel), in this case yellow-green is the opposite colour to red-violet and is key in giving a pop to the pale red-violet composition. Instead of creating a delicate feminine setting with red-violet we suggest using colors near red-violet to add different qualities to the character of the scheme; aubergine, grape, fuchsia-red and lilac. Notice they are not toned down colours but they are vibrant accents that can be placed in any neutral backdrop be it, earth tones, whites, or grays. This color scheme is definitely meant to add sharpness to a room avoiding feminine or masculine appeals.
