Deep reds, soft pinks, warm blush, and the tender white of fresh petals — the full spectrum of love from passion to gentleness.
Red has been the colour of love and desire across cultures for millennia — from the red ochre of prehistoric ritual to the scarlet thread of fate in Japanese folklore, from Juliet's lips to the red envelope of Chinese New Year. Valentine's palette does not commit to a single red; it moves across the full range of what love means. There is the intensity of a deep crimson rose, not yet open. The warmth of coral, playful and optimistic. The pale blush of a cheek. The soft pink of sweet peas picked from a morning garden. And white, which gives all the reds room to breathe — the pause between heartbeats.
