Psychology

In its darker registers red becomes serious: ambition, gravitas, and a certain controlled intensity.

History

In ancient Rome, a particular shade of red — minium — was so valued that the scribes who illuminated manuscripts were called 'rubricators' after the colour they used for headings.

Design use
