Red is a cheerful and powerful color, best savored in small doses. Especially around the holidays, when you chance looking like a mislaid lawn ornament if you’re swathed in too much of it.
A pop of red, though, playful, a surprise, a shout out to life. A red sweater under your black puffer jacket. Red gloves reaching from a black sleeve. Red socks peeking between the hem of your pants and your shoes. Just a pop. It’s your secret expression of joy.
