What does the color red mean?
Red loves paradox: it stands for both love and anger, desire and danger, ardor and prohibition. The color of blood and fire, warm and very strong, it stirs you up, for better or for worse. It is the color of life.
In Western culture, it speaks of honor as much as danger. As purple, it is a symbol of power and sovereignty: in ancient Rome, purple was reserved for emperors, many French kings posed against a red background, and it is still the color of cardinals today. The red carpet keeps a trace of it.
👉 In China, red is the color of luck: it dresses the New Year and weddings. In India too, the bride often wears red, a pledge of happiness and fertility.
