# Red Glow

## Visual Elements


Glow glasses mainly in red, with yellow on the center and sides.

## Cultural Context

LED and EL-wire glow accessories became synonymous with 1990s rave culture, where dancers wore luminescent gear to enhance the sensory experience under strobe lights and UV. Glow sticks, glow glasses, and light-up jewelry were staples at warehouse parties across Chicago, Detroit, and the UK.

<!-- justification
## Justification

Red glow in a dark room reads as both warning and invitation. The boldest color choice in the glow series, for the person who wants to be found.
