Pink and Red Goes Head to Head

Red and pink clash. We’ve always been taught this. But perhaps our rules of color theory are color blind. Today, we saw a matchstick with a red-orange tip struck against a pink-with-blue-undertone strip of sandpaper that hugged the side of the matchbox. The color combo was stunning. Red and pink matches. It matches!  We started digging around to see where else this infamously clashing color-combo has been married. Some of our favorites:
