My favorite color is red, it's flashy, catches people's attention, and is used everywhere for all kinds of purposes!
Mine too! Its said that red makes a person appear more attractive, like an illusion of sorts!
Oh yeah, I'm not surprised. Red and other colors are super influential. Cops are more likely to pull over a car if it's red.
Oh no! I need a new car now. Lol
Same actually. I have a dark red Chevy Cruze and I worry sometimes because of it. I've been lucky so far, knock on wood!
Yeah!!! I wonder when the color red first appeared in pigments according to humans?
Well, prehistoric art used ochre, a reddish brown colored type of rock, so quite a long time ago.
Oh yes and some minerals appear red when oxidized too. 
Yeah, like when metals get rusty. They can be yellow, deep orange, brown, all through that range.
