Сложный, яркий и глубокий, красный цвет always stands out. What can you combine it with to get the effect you want? How to balance with the rest of the colors? How do you create a rich, interesting and modern composition based on the catchy color of the palette? We study possible schemes using real examples. The nature of red is such that it is impossible not to notice it. It attracts our attention, no matter what we add to it. Therefore, the first step in working with a red palette is to start by defining the "dosage". The universal rule of a novice colorist is to strive for a proportion of 60-30-10, where 60% is the main color, 30% is an auxiliary color and 10% goes to accents. Of all the possible ways to fill the space with color, this one is the simplest and practically win-win, something like the "golden ratio". 
Our opinion: - In practice, this rule in most cases means that 60% will be necessary for the color of the walls, 30% for furniture and upholstery, and 10% for individual color spots - flower arrangement, pictures, frames, cushions, etc. In this formula, red color is appropriate in any capacity. It all depends on your courage, the features of the chosen hue, its density and saturation. 
2. Red, mint green, turquoise., symbolizing the next turn of the historical spiral. Mint shades were in vogue in Europe in the 20s, then returned to the 60s and 70s, and now they are back in the arena. For such a triad, as a rule, they choose very delicate and pastel green and aquamarine shades with bright splashes of pure red - the color of Ferrari and sweet life. 
3.Wine red, grass green and woody. Red and green are opposite colors of the circle, so their competent combination always gives a very impressive, truly spectacular result. Our opinion: - Precisely selected shades, matched through wood surfaces, create an atmosphere of primary energy, the basic elements of life. For everything to work out, you do not need to mix these colors in the same proportions: one should dominate, and the other should create light, precise accents. 
4. Red, blue, yellow. Child psychologists believe that in pure form these three colors are the best solution for the development of preschool children, therefore such colors are often used in children's. In a softer, muted form, the top three colors will look great in any room. If you look closely, it is almost always there. 
5. Red, black and silver.Red looks great in combination or gray - all together or in pairs, they will go to each other anyway. If you're looking for a catchy yet classic and elegant combination, this is your option. White, pure mid-gray and silvery metals help soften the harshness of black-and-red interiors. 
6. Red and neutral shades. Red is perfectly combined with pastel neutral shades - both warm and cold. A vivid example is the so-called "Alpine" palette: deep pink-brown, warm gray, rich red, charcoal and burgundy. In practice, these are light walls, a rich brown floor and dark beams on the ceiling, textiles with bright traditional embroidery. In modern chalets - a red wall or a red armchair. 
7. Red in ethnic interiors.Red carpet, striped stripes, Moroccan patterns or terracotta clinker: red is an indispensable tool for creating modern interiors with ethnic features. In such cases, the presence of red is a mandatory item in the program. Our opinion: - In order not to overdo it with red patterns, add them gradually and first choose “shabby”, slightly faded objects and colors. Among other things, they will help you bring an "antique" touch to your interior.
