From the pink shiny Gloves to the large bowl, the hair brush and more brushes I didn't know their uses. And when I asked her the ingredients. She had a breakdown, taking pleasure in lecturing me. “I've read about it online, and before you start screaming, lots of people say it does work,” Frida exclaimed while holding up a dark-red bottle. “So what we need to do is use beetroot juice. We can mix it with some carrot oil. Hibiscus powder. And henna. You are to apply this once a week and the color will build up slowly without any damages to your hair. So, why don't we try?”

The winding crimson of shame, the chilling green of violation, the murky depth of that intimate humiliation, the blue tear. “The work is raw,” he pronounced. “Powerful, but vulnerable. The colors can smudge. The memory can fade.” He stopped in front of her, holding up the bottle. “This is damar varnish. It protects. It seals. It gives the painting its final, luminous finish. A hard finish. Impervious. And obscenely glossy.”

I let her chatter on about trends until I finally cut in, softly but deliberately. “Doesn’t that shade wash you out?” I asked, tilting my head at the crimson purse dangling from her hand. “Excuse me?” Her smile faltered. “Red can be… unforgiving,” I said lightly, flipping through a rack of scarves. “You need something that doesn’t highlight the undertones. You have to be careful with your complexion, even the wrong lipstick could make you look tired.” Her mouth closed under the varnish of her smile. I concealed smugness by the pretense of inspecting a silk scarf.

She was staring at her wardrobe. Her red gown was crumpled on the floor. There was a massive, dark purple stain of red from the sweetheart neckline all the way down to the waist, but the wine wasn't the worst part. Near the hem, the fabric was bubbling and turning orange. White spots were splattered across the skirt where bleach had been poured. Zoe was standing over the dress, her hands trembling. An empty wine glass lay on the rug, and a blue bottle of bleach was gripped in her right hand.

The deep red stone seemed to generate its own light against her throat, radiating pure luxury. In that moment, Elegant Realm secured its reputation in London's competitive fashion scene. We had arrived.

Anita: (chiming in) And Carmen looks stunning in blush tones. Lady Eleanor: (thinking) Blush could be the base color, representing romance. Let's add a touch of gold for sophistication and a hint of sage green for a fresh, natural element. Carmen: (excited) I love that idea! Blush, gold, and sage green. It sounds so elegant. Mrs. Thompson: Those colors will create a beautiful and harmonious atmosphere. Blush will dominate, gold will add a regal touch, and sage green will provide balance.

Flora stood up and rushed to greet the client: - Welcome, sir! How may I serve you? - Hello Miss Flora, they told me you have some fresh Tulips. - Yes indeed! Since the early spring, we have had a good stock of Tulips. Do you want me to compose you a bouquet of them? -Please. Which colors do you have? - Orange, dark pink, fair pink, and some red. - No black?! - No, I apologize! It is quite rare that clients ask for them.

“I don’t think that’s really my style. I was imagining something a bit more understated, maybe in a softer hue?” Veronica rolled her eyes theatrically, her smile unwavering, as if it were glued to her face. “Understated? No way! You need to stand out and make a statement! Red is unforgettable, and trust me, it’ll have heads turning. Just give it a whirl!”
