It's often best to match the frame colour roughly to the background of the picture, so that the viewer's eye isn't drawn away from the principal subject. For instance (to use your red dress example) I'd consider framing this picture http://inetn

with a shade of grey just a little darker than that of the picture's background.

Wherever possible, the environment into which the framed photo will be placed should also be taken into account. Bold-coloured frames can look great in large 'modernistic' rooms but totally out of place in small 'chintzy cottage' style rooms. (Natural wood frames are probably best in such rooms).
