Pink is new 'red flag' is decorating, design

Phillip Stutts agrees he might look great in a pink shirt and possibly would wear one, but there’s something about the color that stops him cold when he sees it on all the walls in a woman’s boudoir. “It’s a red flag for me,” said the 29-year-old construction project manager from Abingdon.

Colors have been known to have a psychological effect that make people feel a multitude of emotions. For Stutts, part of whose job is being sensitive to color distinctions, the particular placement of pink sends him signals he should be on guard in that relationship — or stay away.
