Kudos to David for explicitly understanding the challenge and the color red. Red is powerful, attention-grabbing and strong. In nature, red is naturally seen in a bold flower on a green bush, in a cardinal contrasted against the blue sky or in jewel-like fish swimming in the vast ocean. In other words, a little red goes a long way and by painting an accent wall red while keeping the rest of the wall neutral, David showcases his color perfectly.
