1. Red is the color of sun, warmth, life. It calls for action and it has a provable effect on metabolism: it increases blood pressure and speeds up the pulse. Red has the longest wavelength in spectra which can be seen with human eye. If the wavelength is even longer, it can be sensed as a heat. In this case, it is called infrared.

2. The color red is the color of passion, seduction, and lust. Ever heard about red light districts?
Redheads were considered very special through all known human history. Women with red heads are considered more passionate, have more intimate partners and are in general more popular among men. Many ladies who colored their hair red reported after that simple act their life really changed and became more similar to this stereotype!
There was even a research in Germany made in 2006 which proved redheads have more sex than brunettes or blondes, but this stands only for ladies. Men with red hair were never popular...
One possible explanation is the rarity of the gene for red hair. Only one percent of the world population carries this gene. Men with this gene can look too risky to be considered as possible partners to women, but women with this gene can look like a trophy to men!
What do you feel about color red?
It certainly isn't appropriate for every situation. In negotiations where you are looking for cooperation and compromise, red is strictly forbidden from psychological point of view. It is a color of of aggression after all. Thanks for stopping by, VioletRose.
I love red roses, red gemstones and red dresses, but I do not like it in everything. Sometimes this color makes me feel scared.
Agree on that, WriterArtist:)
I love the brightness and the alertness of red though. A wedding dress in crimson is outstanding.
You are right, WriterArtist. It is color of alert and danger. This is why traffic signs use red so often.
I am not sure but I think red is also the colour of danger. I have seen red signs as symbols for "Danger Ahead" on roads. Interesting article on the colour, I adore this shade and have many dresses in crimson.
Thanks, davestone13, this is great trick. I suppose Santa already knows this;)
Let me add to that. Red is also joyful and inviting in the right context. I've found, when working in arts and crafts fairs, that red is the most effective color for getting passersby to wander in and look further. I try to keep a splash of red somewhere on me, especially in the winter markets when a red scarf catches attention.
Not surprising, it's a color of really fast cars after all:)
Thanks, I've seen this trilogy too (more than once) and it is really great watch. Thanks for your comment.
