25 Examples of Red Color Combinations

John Spacey, November 27, 2019

Red is a bright color that corresponds to the longest wavelengths of visible light. It is perceived as hot to the touch due to its association with warm elements of nature such as sun and fire. Red is also an intense color that is typically matched to calming colors such as blue or neutral colors such as brown, grey, white and black. In theory, red can also be matched to green but this combination is often avoided because it is symbolic of Christmas. The following are illustrative examples of red color combinations.
