The holiday season evokes many sights, sounds, and thoughts — one in particular being the color red. Commonly linked to love, red has many other facets you may not have known. Don’t worry, we did some RED-search for you:
• Red is the most popular color used on flags…in the world.
• It is one of three primary colors — holding this title alongside only blue and yellow.
• Red has long been synonymous with wealth and royalty. King Louis XIV incorporated red in practically every item he adorned.
• As far back as antiquity, red has been prominently depicted in multiple works of art.
• Red is commonly misused when representing fire. In reality, flames are usually only yellow, orange, or blue.
• An incredibly diverse color in regards to its symbology, red is simultaneously both the color of love and danger.
• Red has been connected to the heart’s desires, flushed cheeks, and our primal instincts; representing our longing for joy, romance, and a fulfilled life.
• According to many historians, red is believed to be the oldest color — dating back to the Neolithic period.
…now that you know a bit more about this radiant hue, perhaps you’ll start looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. (Get it?)
