The Color Red Red is considered to be one of the primary colors of the RGB (or red, green, blue) color model. It is integral as an additive to create the shades and tones of many other colors including pink, purple and orange. Words and Feelings Associated with Red One of the more dynamic aspects of the color red is its association with such a wide range of words or emotions. In many cultures red is a color of celebration, such as the popular use of red for the Christian Christmas holiday. But it can also be associated with danger, fire, blood and even evil. The color red is also connected with passion, beautiful red roses or the freshness of fruits such as an apple. Using Red Regardless of the shade of red, it is known to be notoriously difficult to reproduce with paint. Many home decorators have spent hours painting and repainting multiple coats to achieve their desired red tone. Experienced decorators have found that by using pink, brown or even yellow as a primer paint, the desired red is much easier to achieve. Red is also known to be difficult as a textile dye, often bleeding through linens or clothing during the washing process or easily fading. |  — Color coordinates —
