Our world is filled with a glorious array of color, but lately maroon, burgundy, wine, and dark red are making a splash. These fantastic deep hues are wonderful for a variety of occasions and add a beautiful richness.

I searched the web for a variety of images featuring these lovely hues, and here is a look at a few of my favorite finds:

Jodi's vibrant design pops in deep red paired with tan, brown, and light blue featuring the Split Chevron Cover-Up Die-namics. I love the stark contrast of the white on brown sentiment to juxtapose the warmth with cool white.
