Red

Red is an appetite stimulant and the most popular color choice for restaurant and kitchen decorating schemes. In the 1950s, kitchens decorated in cherry red were stylish and desirable, and the classic hue has made itself a permanent fixture in colorful home design. The color red is a warm and positive color, associated with our physical needs while promoting ambition and determination. Red signifies a need for adventure, and a passionate, adventurous, and outgoing individual. Red is the color of sensuality and can stimulate intimate passions like love in an individual.

On Valentine’s Day, it's said that red is related more to passion, while love is typically expressed with pink.

Pink

Pink for Valentine’s day is a romantic and thoughtful color choice, representing the sweetness and innocence of the child in all of us. Pink in a kitchen usually shows a loving and kind individual, often with a romantic view of life that makes for idealistic standards.

The color pink represents compassion, nourishment, and love. Pink showcases a more delicate and feminine side of the color spectrum, and it is said that the deeper the pink, the more passion the color exhibits. The color pink puts people in touch with the nurturing side of themselves, through either the need to give or the need to receive some TLC.

The combination of red and white gives pink the passion of red, however, this is softened by the purity and openness of white. Because of this, pink can calm and reassure our emotional energies, alleviating feelings of anger, aggression, resentment, abandonment or neglect.
