Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It's my favourite colour, I would say passion, energy, love, I think that's about all really. Sex, obviously. danger, blood, stop, anger, warmth, love.... just a couple off the top of my head..... Absolutely nothing - it's just a colour. People might say it symbolises something but they made it up.

This means you're free to make up anything you like and it will be right because it's what you think. on one hand.. love.. strong emotions..
on the other hand.. anger.. blood.. patriotism.. DANGER> power, strength, confidence, sex Red with anger is probably the most popular, and what we were generally taught in the past.

but it could also symbolise;

Love, passion, danger. erm...danger,love,anger,hate,p... and a colour obviosly! Most eye catching and attention getting colour... Red is for danger.
