Colours propel their presence in all locales and objects that we encounter in our day-to-day activities. Colours also specify certain moods and qualities. Take a glimpse at the significance of colours and dress cord and use them appropriately on Valentine’s Day.

According to Diana Uwimana, a 31-year-old florist at Kiyovu center, "The red colour is appropriate for a Valentine’s Day date, because its an annual commemoration that celebrates love and affection between intimate companions.”

Red is the colour of energy, liveliness, love and sexual passion. That is why red roses, red attires and gifts wrapped in red play a dominant role on Valentine’s Day. Red communicates your passion towards your beloved one or towards love itself.

Roses are the traditional gift given on Valentine’s Day, but they’re certain to be well-received any time of year. But before you buy roses, know what message you’re sending.
The color of a rose can have a very different meaning from what you intend. The choice of colour one makes during valentines will communicate their intentions in a relationship for instance the colour in red roses proclaim "I love you.”

They are the ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion, Yellow roses indicate friendship and freedom  or indicate that one is ready for friendship—so don’t send yellow roses if your intentions are romantic and long-lasting.

Pink suggests that an individual is free for a relationship, orange suggests that one is waiting, blue indicates that one is going to propose, green suggests an accepted proposal, purple indicates that one is not interested, white denotes the idea of ‘leave me alone’, grey suggests a break up while black and brown suggests a proposal rejected.

Maroon and brick red symbolize fun and love. So choose your outfits and gifts with the appropriate colours on Valentine’s Day so that nobody is misguided.
