If you’re a fan of the ’80s, we’re sure you’ve noticed the famous red and black motif that made its striking mark on the decade of decadence. From Michael Jackson’s Members Only jacket to the promotional materials from the hit TV series Knight Rider, this killer combo was edgy, hot and daring. Today we revel in ’80s merchandise featuring our colors of choice. An instant way to add bold style and channel our favorite decade, the pairing of red and black is both nostalgic and modern. Enjoy our Mid-Week Match-Up!

Aw c’mon Kate- you forgot the best representative of this colour scheme! One that children still recognise now, despite there being no reruns of the show on TV (here at least)- the A TEAM VAN!!!
Ace article, most of my recent decorating/Etsy making has been using Memphis colours, I may well use black and red to shake things up next month.
