It’s been a while since I published a colour post, so it’s that time again. For this post I am sharing my red travel photos from around the world 🙂
Red is generally a warm and positive colour as well as being associated with energy, love and passion. Red is also said to be energising and to provide confidence during moments of shyness. However, too much red can mean anger and irritation. In Chinese culture, red means luck which is why traditionally, Chinese brides wore red. In India, brides also often wear red as it is a symbol of purity.

I love this. Beautiful post to compliment my underwhelming lunch. Thank you 😊
Thanks so much Faith! There is nothing like a bit of blog reading during a lunchtime break 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed the post 🙂
I loved this post. Will have to check the rest in your series. I felt like the color jumped out of the photos since I had in my mind that the post was about red.
Thanks so much Ruth! I love scrolling through my photos and seeing when my chosen colour jumps out 🙂
Great photo with the red phone boxes! Where’s that exactly?;) For me red is love:)
Thank you! I took that photo a few years ago and I cat remember exactly where, but I think it was around Bank?! It was definitely somewhere in the city, sorry that I can’t be any more specific!
It’s ok:)
It’s opposite the Royal Opera House, in Broad Street. The statue is “Young Dancer” by Enzo Plazzotta.
Thank you!!
Love your colour posts – what a great collection of shots!
Thanks so much Jessi! They are some of my favourite posts to put together 🙂
Fantastic post with stunning photos! I love splashes of red amongst paler colours. I definitely feel more confident when I’m wearing red. You have to be in the right mood for it though.
Thank you Clare!! So true, I don’t own many red clothes but I totally know what you mean about having to be in the mood for red!
I find red to be such a passionate colour. I like to use it in the kitchen to inspire me when I am cooking.
Ohhh yum! Eating a rainbow is the best, and I love red food like fresh tomatoes and strawberries – yum!
I always love your colour themed posts! That red pancake was a shocker haha
Thanks Camila! The pancake making was fun, as no flavour is changed just crazy coloured pancakes!! Hehe
