Red - it is the most vivid and powerful color in the spectrum, constantly in motion, as well as conveying a message of power, presence and sensuality. Is it ideal for a first date color? Maybe in a lipstick, yes, but red can be too racy for a first meeting. The stronger the shade of red, the safer it is as a first meeting option. Think berries, burgundy, or brick red.
Pink - As for pink, the messages and meanings vary depending on how vibrant or subdued the shade of pink is. Smooth, clear tone translates to friendly, warm, approachable, and reliable. Bright pink carries the strength of red, but translates as fun, energetic, and more approachable love.
