 A red bedspread for example, accented with green pillows with a red fringe. This provides an exciting color combination.
A Red, Blue - Green and Yellow - Green, split complementary
color scheme allows you to introduce other colors
whilst still retaining a high contrast scheme. This works
well with floral or patterned fabrics, using them for drapery,
upholstery and bedding. This creates a powerful meaning to
a color scheme.
Red, Yellow and Blue, a triadic color scheme ( in this case
the primary colors) creates a stimulating
and bold use of red based on a strong chroma (brightness of
the color) but if used with a tint (white added to a color)
we get quite a different feel, pink, lemon, and baby blue,
this creates a warm and luxurious use of the color.
Red, Red - Violet, and Violet, an example of an analogous
color scheme. This type of scheme is easy on the eye as it
uses colors that are beside each other on
the color wheel and therefore closely related. It is useful
to use when you want to make a harmonious space but does create
more movement than a simple monochromatic scheme. Vigorous
comes to mind for this use of red.

Red, Red - Violet, Green and Yellow Green make up a dual complementary color scheme. This allows you to combine multiple colors knowing that they will work in harmony. Ideal for patterned fabrics, florals, using different finishes in one room for example wallpaper, upholstery fabric and drapes, tiles and flower arrangements. This is a brave and physical use of the color red.
