Red can also be used to convey passion, anger, love, romance, or even boost one’s attraction or attractiveness. 

But why does this happen? Red is the strongest and one of the boldest colors, it conveys the message of a warning or possible danger. This does make sense, as red is often used for stop signs, traffic lights, sirens, firefighter trucks, etc. But, this color can also be used as a “boost” or a benefit when it comes to the dating scene. As stated before, red is a very eye-catching color, it can even increase one’s heart rate. 

Hypothetically, in a situation with someone’s crush or on a date, wearing red will trigger feelings of excitement, definitely getting the person of interest’s attention in a positive way. This will not only make a person stand out, but it will definitely send a message. Other fun facts about the color red is that red is used in many different methods, like, science, fashion, food, symbolism, and it is actually the first color that babies see after black and white. In fashion, the color red is very well known in designer brands such as Christian Louboutin, for their red-soled shoes, also known as, Red bottoms, which to this day continue to be a classic style of heels. The term “Red-Flag”, used more specifically in entertainment and language, is used to refer to people who others should be more cautious of dating or should not date at all. Red-flags are more used to describe a person’s flaws, or habits that are not ideal for the person of interest. So, it is used more personally rather than for physical appearance, but mainly depends on a person’s standards. 

Red is such a loud color and has many uses that many might not even be aware of. If readers do find themselves in a particular situation, specifically involving romantic interests, when planning an outfit maybe incorporate some red. Only for fun of course, never assume that being authentic is the least attractive thing about a person. But, have confidence! Do not just rely on a specific color to portray it for you.
