Violet Red

Violet red is a bright shade of magenta that falls just between purple and red on the color wheel. This hue is typically more vibrant than its red violet counterpart, which tends to be deeper and more muted. Splashy near-neons have been trending for several seasons now and this fuchsia hue is no exception. Magenta pieces appeared in collections from countless top designers. With the recent penchant for tresses in all colors of the rainbow, violet red has been showing up in unexpected places. This color has been named one of the top hair trends for this year by industry insiders and has been spotted on several trendy A-listers. Go bright with a full head of magenta or subtle with cranberry-colored streaks. If you want to add drama and interest to your home, try incorporating a muted violet red. This deeper hue looks sophisticated without being staid. If you prefer this color at full volume, think throw rugs, pillows and artwork. It provides a feminine pop of color that’s more sophisticated than candy pink. When pairing other colors with this shade, you can choose either warm undertones that complement the red or cool undertones that complement the violet. Try a rustic beige or pumpkin or a blue-toned slate gray.
