Our prehistoric ancestors considered the colors of fire and blood - energy and primitive vitality - and red, and the red symbol today is mainly derived from the strong associations of the past.

Red is also a mysterious and religious color. It symbolizes the Greek superhuman heroism, the color of the Christian crucifixion.

Paradoxically, today's dark red dye comes from crushed insects (lac insects and cochineal)

Japanese red has some meaning (same as elsewhere), but in traditional Shinto, red has special meaning. However, unlike the Pretorian guard, which is responsible for defending evil leaders, Red is condemned to protect Shinto believers from evil and illness. According to Japanese folk beliefs, RED is the color of "expulsion of devil and illness". In the Asuka period (AD 522 to 645 AD), the Yamato court regularly conducted a ceremony of spiritual extinction. These purification ceremonies are centered on Vulcan (the Red God) and the purpose is to purify the land by sending the spirit of evil to the Kingdom. This relationship with evil is easily associated with child mortality, defense against evil forces (illness), reproductive ability, laziness (fetal membrane over the head at birth), and other birth images.

The meaning of red depends on culture. In some cultures, red represents purity, pleasure and celebration, and is the traditional color that the bride wears. In China, red is used for blessing, representing happiness and prosperity. In South Africa, red is the color of mourning and in Russia red is related to communism. In history, when they beat the emperor, they used red flags. In the United States, red, white and blue are combined to express patriotism and the pride of the people.

Desire is beyond the red roses. The red roses represent the stimulation of new love, and are full of passion. Red is the passion for perfection and desire. From the color itself, the meaning of a red rose is very obvious. The red roses convey the love waiting for the expression of passion. The red roses are the most popular Valentine's Day roses, which is why the price rose in February. Red roses, especially red roses, simply say "I love you very much." A crimson rose is interpreted as the ultimate expression of romance and permanent love. Bright red color perfectly expresses these emotions
