Red books
Initially, red was used to highlight titles stamped in black and gold. By the 1870s, it was common to see entire covers in vibrant reds. A book cover adorned with red tones can elicit strong emotions. The colour is often used on the cover of romance novels, thrilling tales, and action-packed adventures.
