''Hues''

She was red. I was blue. I guess my first question would be why is she red and narrator blue? To just say because you're different or to convey opposites doesnt seem to be enough here.
We were different hues.
Different views.
The friction grew, as colors, I don't personally think there's a friction to red and blue(unless they're on bandanas), they're actually complimentary. A frictional relationship between colors would be like blue/orange or green/red. But even these can be complimentary, depending on tone.
The addiction too, I dont understand what the addiction is but it doesnt go with the central metaphor either. Perhaps take this line out.
Which we didn't know our limits too. *to.

She was a Dark Red, afraid of her surroundings.
I was a Carolina Blue. I'm curious as to why you chose a very specific 'carolina blue' to match with a very generic 'dark red,' maybe take the caps off them too, remove the period here and take the caps off 'full' as well.
Full energy and always kept pounding.
The fiery latina attitude matched her shade of Flame. Hm idk about 'shade of Flame,' or why 'true blue' is not capitalized like the others. I would drop all the caps in this poem besides the ones after sentences, tbh tho
While I was true blue - Honesty and Loyalty was my main game.

Sometimes she was a  Lust red, and we felt the passion together
Especially when I showed her steel blue.
I felt stronger than ever.
I wanted to reveal my Royal Blue. Show her my definition of love.
Embracing her Maroon while reminding her she will be loved.

I always made sure to communicate, even when I was teal.
But she remained oxblood, her pride kept her from keeping it real.
A dark cloud in my sky blue front.
Her feelings were Crimson - all tide up.
Hey Slecht, I left some notes for you, I tried to get through this one but couldn't completely. I like some of your wordplay but I think you had your work cut out for you on this one. There's only so many ways to effectively pull off the red/blue metaphor and I think just about most ways have already been said Tongue good luck
