All things RED
Keywords that could be used for the colour red. Warm, strong, initiating, energetic, friendly, passion, active, dynamic, power, hot, anger, outgoing, extroverted and social.
This is also a colour for being competitive and ambitious. This is mainly a physical colour, indicating someone with a strong physical will, leadership and magnetism, a hard-worker and self-motivator.
In the chakra system this colour is responsible for the flow of life energy (the colour of blood) and is therefore mainly concerned with our physical strength and vitality. More about the emotional and blocked energy is on the chakra page.
Red says success. Wear red to express power and stand out in a crowd. A person who wears red is not afraid of showing a strong image. Red is stimulating and romantic. Red boosts physical energy and helps overcome negative thinking and feelings of rejection. Since it is an extreme colour, red clothing might not be helpful in negotiations or confrontations. This is the colour for the base chakra.
