Red
The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love.
Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations.
Red cars are popular targets for thieves. In decorating, red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract attention.
The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.
The color red is associated with lust, passion, love, and beauty as well. The association with love and beauty is possibly related to the use of red roses as a love symbol.
Both the Greeks and the Hebrews considered red a symbol of love, as well as sacrifice.
Psychological research has shown that men find women who are wearing red more attractive.

And did you know that red also stimulates the appetite for food, probably because it is the colour of meat/blood. That is why many fast food places use the colour red in their decor and signage (eg Mcdonalds, pizza hut, red rooster…ect) Also many chinese restaurants. In china it means good luck as well.
DIDNT KNOW THAT…INTERESTING FACTS…THANX FOR ADDING TO THE MEANING…;)
GREAT COMMENT…:)
