What does the colour red represent?
One of the first colours used in prehistoric art, with pigment made from ochre, red has come to represent many things over our long use of the colour! Given it is the same colour as blood, it is often associated with both danger and courage.
In the West, it's mostly commonly used to signify heat, passion, love, and anger, and in China, India, and other Asian cultures, it symbolises good fortune, vitality, and joy.
