In his Little Dictionary of Fashion, published in 1954, Christian Dior speaks of red in these terms:

“Very invigorating and attractive, it’s the color of life. I love red. In my opinion, it works with almost every skin tone. And it can be worn at any time of the day. Bright reds – scarlet, English red, crimson or cherry – are full of youth and gaiety. There’s one for everyone, and if you don’t want red for a dress or a suit, you can at the very least use it for accessories: a red hat is paired to great effect with a black or gray ensemble, as is a pretty silk scarf on a cream dress or a red umbrella with a gray coat.”

Of pink he writes:

“The sweetest of all the colors. Every woman should have something pink in her wardrobe. It is the color of happiness and of femininity. I like it for blouses and scarves; I like it for a young girl's frock; it can be charming for suits and coats; and it is wonderful for evening dresses.”
