silver, or platinum.  Gold is okay.

I also love stars against the night sky and the ocean all shiny in the morning with mountains and clouds

and purple and orange starfish when the tide goes out and a big red sunfish in the middle.

Moon is a nice colour.

Red is any of a number of similar colors evoked by light consisting predominantly of the longest wavelengths of light discernible by the human eye, in the wavelength range of roughly 625–750 nm. Longer wavelengths than this are called infrared, or below red and cannot be seen by human eyes.

In human color psychology, red is associated with energy and blood, and emotions that stir the blood, including anger, passion, and love.[3]

Red is used as one of the additive primary colors of light, complementary to cyan, in RGB color systems. Red was once considered to be a subtractive primary color, along with yellow and blue, and is still sometimes described as such in non-scientific literature; however, the colors cyan, magenta and yellow are now known to be a better set of subtractive primary colors, and are used in modern color printing.

One common use of red as an additive primary color is in the RGB color model. Because "red" is not by itself standardized, color mixtures based on red are not exact specifications of color either. In order to produce exact colors the color red needs to be defined in terms of an absolute color space such as sRGB. As used in computer monitors and television screens, red is very variable, but some systems may apply color correction (so that a standardized "red" is produced that is not in fact full intensity of only the red colorant).

[edit] In ancient history and culture

[edit] Art

    * It is likely that Red ochre was the earliest pigment employed by late Archaic Homo sapiens when it was used by Cro-Magnons for their cave paintings.
    * When red is mixed with blue it makes purple.
    * In some art, interior design and fashion contexts, shades of red are described by reference to the colors of fruits and vegetables that commonly match that shade. These include cherries, beets, turnips, strawberries (often used in referring to "strawberry blonde" hair), and raspberries (as referenced in the Prince song "Raspberry Beret"). While the most popular color for apples is a dark shade of red, the fruit is usually invoked in fashion or decorating to reference a pale yellowish greenish.

[edit] Cultural symbolism

    * In ancient China, red was the symbol of fire and the south, and is one of the main five classical colors.
    * In the Indian Sub-continent, red is the traditional color of bridal dresses, and is frequently represented in the media as a symbolic color for married women.
    * In Chinese culture and Chinese symbolism, red is the color of good luck and success, and is used for decoration and wedding attire (during the traditional half of the wedding ceremony, while the bridal attire in the modern half is usually white). Money in Chinese societies is traditionally given in red packets. Stock market gains in China and other East Asian countries are displayed in red, while losses are displayed in green.
    * Red is considered holy in some parts of Sub-saharan Africa. In these regions women are forbidden to wear red clothes.
    * In Russia, red (красный) represents beauty. The Russian word for beauty derived from the word "red" and has the same root (КРАСавица, КРАСота, КРАСивый).

[edit] Ethnography

    * Red Indians is a British term for Native Americans.
    * Amerindians are sometimes called the red race.
    * In the United States, especially in communities with a large African-American population, light-skinned people of African descent and biracial persons of partially African heritage are considered red.

[edit] Religion

    * In East Asian countries, the names of the deceased are written in red ink in a Book of the Dead. To write a living person's name with red ink is taboo, tantamount to placing a curse on the person.
    * In Christianity, red represents the color of fire and so may symbolize the presence of God. It is the liturgical color for Pentecost. It is sometimes used for Holy Thursday and during Eastertide. In Roman Catholic tradition it is used for Palm Sunday in anticipation of the death of Jesus. Red also represents the deadly sin wrath. Satan is usually depicted as colored red and/or wearing a red costume in both religious iconography and popular culture.

It was also used by Garibaldi's camicie rosse ("redshirts") in the Italian Risorgimento, and taken up by Leftist and generally revolutionary groups, while the white of legitimist Bourbon partisans became associated with pre-World War I conservatives. This relates to the term "Blood of the workers", representing the suffering of the proletariat.
          o For instance the Civil War in Russia and the Civil War in Finland were fought between the "Red Army" and various "White Armies".
          o The identification of Communism with "Socialist" red (with the red flag being the primary color of the flag of the Soviet Union) and the red star being a Communist emblem led to such Cold War phrases as "the Red Menace" and "Red China" (distinguished from Nationalist China, "Free China," or Taiwan). See also The East is Red. Mao Zedong was sometimes referred to as a "red sun". The color was also associated with political vehicles such as the Red Guard in China and the Red Guards during the Russian Revolution of 1917 as well as with left wing paramilitary terrorist groups such as the Red Army Faction in Germany and the Japanese Red Army.
    * Red remains associated with parties on the left of the political spectrum, with several notable exceptions (see "Political Parties" below)

          o Brazil: Workers' Party
          o Canada: Liberal Party of Canada
          o Finland: Social Democratic Party of Finland
          o Germany: Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (Social Democratic party of Germany) and Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus (Party of Democratic Socialism)
          o Italy: Partito della Rifondazione Comunista and Partito dei Comunisti Italiani
          o India: Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Communist Party of India
          o Malta: Malta Labour Party
          o New Zealand: New Zealand Labour Party

          o Paraguay: Colorado Party
          o Portugal: Portuguese Communist Party (and the Unitarian Democratic Coalition, of which the PCP is part of)
          o Puerto Rico: Popular Democratic Party (PPD)
          o Serbia: Liberal Democratic Party
          o Sweden: Swedish Social Democratic Party and the Left Party (Sweden)

          o United States: Republican Party, since the 2000 presidential election, when contrasted with blue representing Democratic Party.


[edit] In business and money

[edit] Accounting

    * Red ink is used to denote debt - as well as losses on a balance sheet (hence the phrase, "in the red," which usually indicates economic losses). This usually does not apply in East Asia.

[edit] Finance

    * In North American stock markets, red is used to denote a drop in stock prices. In East Asian stock markets, red is used to denote a rise in stock prices.

[edit] Philanthropy

    * The Product Red Campaign (also called Campaign Red) (styled (PRODUCT)RED) is a for-profit brand which is licensed to various corporations which are thus afforded the opportunity to gain goodwill for themselves (as well as increasing their own revenue) by donating a percentage of their profits to raise money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. [4]

[edit] In Science

[edit] Astronomy

    * In astronomy, stars of stellar class M (the stars with the coolest temperature) are classified as red stars.
    * Mars is called the Red Planet because of the reddish color imparted to its surface by the abundant iron oxide present there.

[edit] Biology

    * Oxygenated blood is red due to the presence of oxygenated hemoglobin.
    * Red light is the first to be absorbed by sea water, so that many fish and marine invertebrates that appear bright red are black in their native habitat.

[edit] Geography

    * Red or pink is traditionally used by cartographers to represent the British Empire.
    * Red has been used throughout time to represent royalty throughout the world.

[edit] Heraldry

    * In English heraldry, red (called gules) denoted ardent affection or love, while crimson (blood-color) stood for boldness, enthusiasm, or impetuosity. (The American Girls Handy Book, p. 369-370)
    * Red is the color of the coat of arms of Ħamrun, Malta.

[edit] Medicine

    * Red is the color of blood, and a Red Cross, Red Crescent or Red Crystal emblem signifies medical personnel, facilities, or equipment, according to the Geneva Conventions.
    * Red is used to symbolize AIDS awareness or Drug awareness, in the form of a red ribbon.

[edit] Ophthalmology

    * Red light is used to preserve night vision in low-light or night-time situations, as the rod cells in the human eye aren't sensitive to red.
    * People who smoke a lot of marijuana often illuminate their rooms while smoking it in red or orange light because Cannabis causes the pupils of the eye to dilate, making one uncomfortable in intense illumination.

hotography

    * A red filter used in black and white photography increases contrast in most scenes. For example, combined with a polarizer, it can turn the sky black. Films simulating the effects of infrared film (such as Ilford's SFX 200) do so by being much more sensitive to red than to other colors.

[edit] In psychology and modern thought

[edit] New age philosophy

    * In the metaphysics of the New Age Prophetess, Alice A. Bailey, in her system called the Seven Rays which classifies humans into seven different metaphysical personality types, the sixth ray of love-devotion is represented by the color red.
    * Red is used to symbolically represent the first (Muladhara) chakra.
    * Psychics who claim to be able to observe the aura with their third eye report that someone with a red aura is typically someone who is in an occupation requiring vibrant health and vigorous physical exertion, such as a professional sportsperson, a personal trainer, or a manual laborer. [5]
