Get ready to indulge yourself in all things red.

Considered the colour of extremes, red is the most contradictory of all colours. It is associated with strong emotions across the spectrum, including love, power, danger, anger and adventure.  

But this colour is not just about symbolism. Red is the first colour humans perceive (after black and white) and even has the power to stimulate our sense of taste and smell. 

If you need some inspiration for how you can utilise red in your images, this scorching collection of PurplePort images will be sure to fire up your creative spirit. Are you looking for another colour? Check out some of the other collections we've created in our colour series!
