Red, the color of love, the color life
The mark of endings and beginnings
The color of romance, the color of war

 

Out of the primary colors
Red is most primal, red is hostile
It deals with raw emotion, function, and beauty

 

We fear red sometimes
Other times red is patriotic
The burning fire of our souls


Red is clear
There's no mistaking red for anything but itself
Red is bright, but not innocent
It is important, but has different shades
It can be warm, without being docile
