The colors are different. Many have their own preferences. Someone likes light colors, while someone pays attention only to very dark ones. For that, each of us has our own specific reasons, such as character and worldview. More extravagant people love flashy shades, while those with a quiet disposition choose pastel watercolors. No wonder, looking at what colors a person's clothes are and what his environment consists of, one can tell about his inner world.

Characteristics of color and its shades
The burgundy color is obtained by mixing brown and red colors. This is a very complex union. Red represents the strength of the spirit, and brown gives its owner philosophical traits. The intertwining of strength and mind is always something very powerful and admirable. This is exactly what can be said about the color of burgundy.
This shade is always associated with women, who know their own worth, as well as with expensive wines and rubies. The color of aristocracy simply screams that it is loved by those individuals who are accustomed to very expensive gifts. The dark red hue makes many people thirst for a drink, such as overripe cherry compote or expensive wine. Marsala (dessert wine originally from Sicily) is quite suitable for this.

Burgundy always represents his admirer as a person belonging to the class of the elite and self-confident.
It is not for nothing that experts use wine color in advertising the most expensive things. This shade attracts the attention of both men and women.If marketers want to necessarily sell a product, they endow the product with a burgundy color. For example, a car of this shade will raise genuine interest from the very bottom of the subconscious. As a result, everyone will want to buy it.
Wine color also means danger or impending troubles. In different films, a scene is often shown when dark wine is spilled on a white tablecloth. The director thus wants to convey to the viewer the idea: the hero of the picture is in danger of an early death or illness.

The language of colors is varied and quite expressive, so experienced artists use it when they want to show and tell the viewer about something. Note that not a single word is spoken. The dance of colors without unnecessary fuss is able to convey to each of us all the necessary information.
Psychological impact
Eyes quickly get tired of dark red shades. At the same time, this color palette is respectful and eye-catching. It should not be allowed where people need peace of mind. For example, in hospitals. From exposure to the color of Marsala, a person can feel dizzy, rise in pressure and spoil his mood.
This does not happen for nothing. This color causes tension in the nervous system. Therefore, it also cannot be used in children's bedrooms and recreational areas. At the same time, it will work well where you need to create a festive atmosphere. At various parties and discos, where people can afford to spend a large amount of energy, you can resort to using burgundy color.

By decorating a restaurant hall with this shade, its owner will get a double effect. The first is to create a unique atmosphere, coziness, comfort and elitism, and the second - in unrestrained fun and festive atmosphere. This happens because burgundy shades have their own unique psychology and aura, which are transmitted to everyone who can contemplate this magnificence.
The color of burgundy is able to move a person to various actions due to the fact that it causes overexcitation of the nervous system. Burgundy calls for determination and energy. It makes you think and dream about a good life. Those who want to reach unprecedented heights need to use this color scheme more often, since it directly affects the actions and character of a person.
If an individual is rather extravagant and temperamental, then maroon shades will be present in his wardrobe and at home. When a woman's favorite color is dark red, it means that we have a very sensual person in front of us.

Does it affect health?
Everything that surrounds us definitely affects our well-being and health. Colors play a key role here. The shade of burgundy reminds us of someone's spilled thickening blood. The loss of the most important substance for the body threatens death. The sense of danger engulfs the brain and is transmitted to every cell of the body. When a person sees such a picture in front of him, his nervous system involuntarily begins to react.
This happens on a subconscious level. Take a Marsala-colored car, for example. From the whole stream moving along the busy highway, it will surely catch your eye. This suggests that our brain immediately reacts to the shade that symbolizes our inner "I", namely: blood and life.

Since a person cannot live without blood, it means that for him it is the primary link. Therefore, as soon as our eyes begin to recognize this link, there is an increase in the pulse and a slight contraction of the muscles.
Our consciousness reacts to what is happening around us. Light and variety of colors are the main irritants.
It is not for nothing that such a healing practice as color therapy has appeared. It helps the individual to cope with diseases of the nervous system and to improve the overall tone of the body.The first rooms where different colors were used to treat people appeared in China, India, Egypt.
In Russia, since ancient times, erysipelas (a specific disease due to which a certain infected area of the human body swells and turns red) was treated by applying a dark red bandage to the inflamed organ. Surprisingly, after that, the disease went away on its own.
V in other cases, burgundy helps when you need to cure depression and lift your mood. In psychology, the wine tint is used in order to increase personal self-esteem. Thanks to its effects, feelings such as self-confidence and courage begin to awaken in us.

And if someone wants to cheer up, increase their energy potential, then he will need to contemplate maroon shades everywhere. Only this palette needs to be handled very carefully. Excessive use, as well as oversaturation of the environment with wine tones can cause headaches and quick fatigue.
What does clothing symbolize?
Special attention is paid to these shades in the modern design world. They can easily replace black. And using the Bordeaux scale is much more profitable than various variations with black colors.
Very dark shades do not bring joy, and burgundy, on the contrary, can bring a certain positive attitude into the environment. And at the same time, wine colors are very restrained, refined and can say that we have an extraordinary personality in front of us. It is not for nothing that at various business events women related to business appear in long evening dresses in burgundy shades.
So they show everyone present that they are endowed with a special status in high society.

Rubies, framed in gold, complete the wardrobe. Even the most sophisticated man can hardly resist such a representative of the weaker sex. Using simple techniques, business sharks can easily bargain with their inner charm and clothing... A very large number of such cases can be cited. Every woman should know about this and be sure to use seductive color schemes at least once in her life.
Often, men also resort to methods of extracting benefits from the color of burgundy. In the distant 90s, all representatives of the business community in Russia wore crimson or burgundy jackets. This was considered good form and spoke of a special position. This happened, since dark red shades are able to distinguish any person from the crowd and show all people a real leader. And the one who aspired to superiority in all areas felt this on a subconscious level.
By the way, wine tones speak of the bloodthirstiness and ruthlessness of those who often use them. Aggressive tones remind enemies of the dangers of dealing with the wearer of Marsala-colored clothing. Even those who are not familiar with the basics of psychology will be able to guess that a modest person is reluctant to acquire a wardrobe consisting of flashy colors, but the immodest ones like it. From this we can conclude: what a person's temperament is, he prefers such colors.

Feature in other aspects
There are individuals who prefer to decorate the walls with maroon tones. This suggests that we are faced with a person who is not deprived of a certain status. In the old days, Russian nobles and people belonging to high society decorated their living rooms with furniture and fabrics of exclusively burgundy shades. It is not superfluous to add that to the noble color of burgundy is very suitable for the color of gold. And these colors were mixed in order to enhance the effect.
This indicated that there was wealth in the house, and its owner was a respected person. Such rules have survived to this day. Today we can see finishing in dark red tones where the owners of the premises want to show their level and importance.Some representatives of humanity, who do not have special regalia, but strive for grace and wealth, show their preferences in little things. A burgundy mobile phone can give a hint to others that there is a person in front of them who treats his “I” with respect.
You can express a special attitude towards yourself to your beloved with a tie or a handbag. All accessories should be wine shades, and then you can draw attention to yourself. Today, this color is in trend, as many want to reach the level that can show their special relationship to others and to the world in general. Having good taste and a sense of proportion, each of us will be able to emphasize his worthy level.
