Red is my favorite color and it varies from scarlet to crimson and can vary in shade from red pink to burgundy.
It reminds me of Chinese New Year, Christmas, and Valentine's Day.
Yes I often associated red with those holidays as well. I also find it interesting that iron oxide gives the color red to the planet Mars.
The planets, too, huh. I hadn't thought about that.
Red is apparently quite an important color as it was made from ochre and one of the first colors used in prehistoric art.
