Art Elements
It is wise to understand the color red and use it consciously and in moderation. Making art with Reds can also be intense, reactionary but also fun!
Red-Friend or Foe? - It draws our attention immediately and can have many different emotional associations both negative and positive.
Positive aspects: Power, Energy, Activity, Love, Sexuality, Desire, Life, Romance, Attention. Negative aspects: Danger, Stress, Fear, Dominance, Aggression, Warning, Stop.
Red-Makes you Stronger
Wear red to the gym can inspire you to action, greater speed and force. Researchers believe this is because we unconsciously associate red with the danger of failure.
Red-Inspires Better tips
Red lipstick or a red shirt on a waitress can inspire higher tips. Researches tell us that red is associated with blood, pointing to higher estrogen levels and sexual arousal. When a lady wears red it subconsciously signals to the male customer that she is ready to mate. At which point he will happily give her whatever she wants.
Red-Can Heal you
Different frequencies of red light have been shown to help heal the cells in your body. Nasa scientists found when you expose cells to near infrared light the cells can heal 150-200 times faster. This is referring to HEALS technology which condenses the power on 12 suns into a heatless device. By stimulating the cells with long wavelengths, it encourages growth and repair. They’ve used it to heal burns, diabetic skin ulcers and painful sores in the mouth radiotherapy patients suffer.
