Back to Basics!
The primary colours are some of the first things we learn in preschool: red, yellow and blue. For a while, knowing just those is enough, and we might even decide that one of the three is our favourite forever. As we grow up, we learn to make even more colours from those, and eventually learn a whole lot of new names. Complicated names that we're not even sure we can identify: puce, magenta, cyan, mauve... It's quite normal, really, to showcase how much we know, and we'll admit it, saying your nails are a shade of limoncello sounds a lot more fancy than 'neon green'.
But sometimes, the basics are best, and by far the most classic. Think red lipstick, red roses and Chris de Burgh's 'Lady in Red'. And, of course, red wine. Which just happens to be our main deal: 6x bottles of Icarus Red Blend from Bergsig.
