Going back to the “passion has red lips” statement and how it also relates to Blood. I read somewhere that passion and other strong emotions create a stronger blood flow (heating up. This is seen as a rouge or reddish color through the skin where blood flows close to the surface.

It also happens to animals. some believe that is the reason for Red nail-polish and lipstick. It gives the illusion of being turned on and ready.

Thanks for the post – I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Yup, we did mention blood.. It’s there in the text, but maybe not accented enough.. Thanks for the comment, it expands the meaning very well..

One direct association that you didn’t mention to Red is BLOOD… And I guess it is a rather basic human association to this color… From the begining of humankind the amount of blood shed by the enemy made them fear and or respect them, so I guess it is a symbolism of force of the color, and maybe that can be a reason why it makes us react to the color even in a physical level… Red can also simbolize violence, or on the opposite side, liveliness, pulse.. Anything that makes our heart pump can be associated to color red.. It being fear, love, hate, excitement, anger, blushing, winning, etc…
