[HEADING=2]X-Ray[/HEADING]

X-Ray is a cool shade of medium-dark blue with hints of yellow and green lurking beneath the surface.

 

Inspired by the crisp, clinical contrast of a medical X-Ray scan, the color X-Ray is a brisk, professional

shade with a touch of playful, scientific curiosity added by the brighter green and yellow undertones

throughout.

Red

 

Red is the color at the long wavelength end of the visible spectrum of light, next to orange and opposite

violet. It has a dominant wavelength of approximately 625–740 nanometres. It is a primary color in the

RGB color model and a secondary color (made from magenta and yellow) in the CMYK color model, and

is the complementary color of cyan. Reds range from the brilliant yellow-tinged scarlet and vermillion to

bluish-red crimson, and vary in shade from the pale red pink to the dark red burgundy.

 

Red pigment made from ochre was one of the first colors used in prehistoric art. The Ancient Egyptians

and Mayans colored their faces red in ceremonies; Roman generals had their bodies colored red to

celebrate victories. It was also an important color in China, where it was used to color early pottery and

later the gates and walls of palaces: In the Renaissance, the brilliant red costumes for the nobility

and wealthy were dyed with kermes and cochineal.

 

The 19th century brought the introduction of the first synthetic red dyes, which replaced the traditional

dyes. Red became a symbolic color of communism and socialism; Soviet Russia adopted a red flag

following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, until the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. Communist

China adopted the red flag following the Chinese Revolution of 1949. It was adopted by North Vietnam

in 1954, and by all of Vietnam in 1975.

 

Since red is the color of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger, and courage.

Modern surveys in Europe and the United States show red is also the color most commonly associated

with heat, activity, passion, sexuality, anger, love, and joy. In China, India, and many other Asian countries

it is the color symbolizing happiness and good fortune.

Tiffany Blue

 

Tiffany Blue is the colloquial name for the light medium robin egg blue color associated with Tiffany & Co.,

the New York City jewelry company created by Charles Tiffany and John Young in 1837. The color was used

on the cover of Tiffany's Blue Book, first published in 1845. Since then, Tiffany & Co. has used the color

extensively on promotional materials like boxes and bags.

 

Since 1998, the Tiffany Blue color has been registered as a color trademark by Tiffany & Co.

 

It is produced as a private custom color by Pantone, with PMS number 1837, the number deriving from the

year of Tiffany's foundation.
