Reds & Others

Red is back! Subtle, deep, sharp reds were in full display in Geneva this year, falling into three broad flavors: a deep, laser-beam red, with more than a hint of the hot pink in it; a fiery red, with “color travel” from orange to red, creating a flame-like glow; and the classic solid sports-car red.
