RED
All-caps for emphasis
Red is the color of blood, ripe tomatoes, and fire engines—the warmest and most attention-grabbing color on the spectrum.
Red signals danger, passion, anger, or urgency: red alert, red flag, seeing red.
In politics, red associates with leftist movements globally but with Republicans in America.
In the red means operating at a financial loss.
To paint the town red is to go out celebrating.
Red also describes hair that's actually orange-brown: a redhead.
