This hue is inspired by the dazzling ruby red slippers worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz (1939). Though the original slippers were covered in red sequins rather than actual rubies, their deep crimson sparkle became one of the most iconic visuals in film history. The color was chosen specifically for Technicolor film, where red caught the light dramatically against the yellow brick road and Dorothy’s blue dress. Beyond their cinematic origin, the slippers became legendary—one pair was stolen in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum and recovered in 2018 after a nationwide FBI investigation. Shimmering, theatrical, and timeless, this radiant red captures both Hollywood magic and the enduring dream of finding your way home.
