Red- Color of Love, Lust and Death

What is Red? Is it just the colour of a rose or blood or does it have some other significance too?

We humans, since time immemorial, have been very intensely emotional creatures. Red is one such color around which our whole existence revolves. Red is the color of hearts and roses, of a boy expressing his love or gifting his girl on each valentine, of love and desire, of the emotion a woman has for her man every time he showers her with his faith and tenderness. Red is the color that grows a man's passion and aggression for his wife when she looks extremely beautiful and innocent or comes out feisty and bold and it is the same color that shows their strength, power and determination to fight and protect one another. Red is what everyone relates rape with and it is also the colour associated with the raging fire or anger when someone tries to hurt their closed ones.

The book Red here is one such inspirational depiction of all the emotional aspects associated with the color red.
