Why pink is the quiet third color
A tint is a color mixed with white, and pink is a pale tint of red. So in the group With pink the third color is already made of the other two, and most of those schemes are soft. Green is the opposite case: on the painter's color wheel it is the complement of red, a pair that contrasts strongly.
Which red
The red that leads sets how loud a scheme is. Red (#FF0000), scarlet, crimson and cinnabar are bright; dark red (#8B0000), maroon, carmine and firebrick are deep. Under More filters, choose Bright red or Deep red to keep one kind.
Questions and answers

What are red, white and black wedding colors?
Venetian red, black and white is the stark version; Red, jet, silver and white steps down through silver; Firebrick, charcoal and white swaps black for a dark gray.
What are red, white and silver wedding colors?
Red, silver and white is the plain trio; Firebrick, silver and white a deeper one. Dark red, silver, charcoal and white adds a dark gray; Venetian red, light gray and white uses a paler gray than silver.
Which wedding color schemes use only red and white?
The group Red and white only pairs two reds with white: Red, dark red and white; Scarlet, antique ruby and white; or, in three steps, Red, crimson, carmine and white. Venetian red, cream and white keeps one red and adds a warmer white.
