red balloon
Scarlet floating sphere
A red balloon is simply a balloon that is red—an inflatable rubber or latex object, typically filled with air or helium, in a red color.
The phrase carries cultural weight from the 1956 French film *The Red Balloon* and Stephen King's *It*, where a red balloon signals the presence of evil.
Children's parties and celebrations often feature red balloons as decorations: The birthday party was full of red balloons.
