I love the color red which is at the end of the visible light spectrum. It is next to orange and opposite of violet.
It is a very symbolic color, for sure!
Yes! The Mayans and Ancient Egyptians colored their faces red for ceremonies. Roman generals also colored their bodies red to celebrate if they had a victory.
That makes sense! It is the color of blood after all. I think purple had a lot of symbolism back then too didn't it?
Definitely! Purple is associated with royalty, mystery, piety and mystery.
Very cool. I wonder if purple dye and red dyes were difficult to make back then? How would they even get access to those colors?
Most dies are made from vegetables and plants such as berries, leaves and roots.
