The most beautiful shades of red

Undoubtedly, the brightest, persistent and attractive color of all is red. Some people avoid it, because they see it as too bold, bold, frank. Others, for the same reasons, are promoted to the cult, buying clothes in such a range and making out their own dwelling. This tone is widespread among artists - it is found both in modern reproductions and in the works of ancient masters. So let's look at what shades of red are, and where they can be found.

The king of this color scheme is a scarlet tone. Ode to this shade is also in painting, poetry, and modern fashion trends. After all, you will agree that there is only one work by Alexander Greene "Scarlet Sails", which fully reveals to us all the beauty of this tone, and the picture of I. Mysov with the same name serves as a graphic illustration to it.

Shades of red color is hard to imagine without the scarlet. It is in this shade that every autumn our nature is clothed, which is painted by artists and fixed in their pictures by photographers. This blossoming beauty can be seen in the paintings of naturalists Shishkin, Savrasov. In poetry it was described by A. Pushkin, M. Lermontov. It is also worth noting that purple (or purple) shade is often present in the expressionist painting. Such rich shades of red are typical for Van Gogh, Franz Kafka, Salvador Dali.

A fashionable trend has been the coral tone for a number of consecutive seasons. At the same time this shade has restraint and expressiveness, softness and the ability to attract attention. Those girls who do not match the scarlet tone of lipstick, most often use coral, and it is fair to say that it is suitable for both evening and daytime makeup.

Now consider what shades of red have something in common with a lilac and even with a purple color. The number one in the list will be the tone of Bordeaux, whose name comes from the city of the same name in France, where wine is produced. There are countless paintings that show flowers of burgundy color, ladies in the same dresses and the wines themselves.

The shades of red are also quite light. We are all well aware of the pink in all its variations and varieties. Light, gulyafny, or saturated, bolee resembling a Burgundy, it is present in the works of naturalists, and among the canvases-still lifes. Among the first to distinguish is Aivazovsky - a master who never tired of portraying the sea and the sky in all its colors throughout his life. For this artist, the concepts of lightness and airiness of the landscape became key, so very often in his paintings the sky is flooded with a pink sunset, which is reflected in the sea.

In conclusion, it should be noted that completely different, like orange, with yellow and violet impurities, with pink notes can be shades of red. Names for them often come up based on those subjects and phenomena in which they are related. Modern painters and photographers do not get tired to find new tones in this scale, which allow to expand the range of fine art.
