Psychologically red is the warmest color. Red-colored rooms feel 10 degrees warmer than they measure. It is a symbol of energy, power, and vitality. It is highly active, it quickens the pulse, arouses and motivates. It’s physical and sensual. It evokes intense passions – love and anger. Mythologically it is linked with Mars, the god of war, whose name was later given to the red planet. Red is the most eye-catching color.  It is often a sign of danger, used in emergency equipment, warning signs, and hazard alerts. Stop! In recent history, it has become associated with revolution, socialism, and leftist tendencies. Pink is a subtler expression of red working in a more understated way associated with rejuvenation and youth.
