Rogue Rouge

Red.
Several studies have indicated that red carries the strongest reaction of all the colours.
  • Both the Greeks and the Hebrews considered red a symbol of love, as well as sacrifice.
  • In China red carries a largely positive connotation, being associated with courage, loyalty, honor, success, fortune, fertility, happiness, passion, and summer.
  • In Japan, red is a traditional colour for a heroic figure.
  • In the Indian sub-continent, red is the traditional colour of bridal dresses. It is also the colour of wealth, beauty, and the goddess Lakshmi.
  • In Central Africa, Ndembu warriors rub themselves with red during celebrations. Since their culture sees the colour as a symbol of life and health, sick people are also painted with it.
