red paint
Fire engine color
Red paint is paint that is red—pigment suspended in a liquid binder, colored anywhere from deep crimson to bright scarlet.
The phrase rarely needs explanation, but it appears in contexts from house painting to art supplies to hardware stores: We need two gallons of red paint for the barn.
Red paint also figures in protests and vandalism, where its resemblance to blood makes it symbolically potent.
