Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a color found in many national flags.

Red brings text and images to the foreground. Use it as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions; it is a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons on Internet banners and websites. In advertising, red is often used to evoke erotic feelings (red lips, red nails, red-light districts, 'Lady in Red', etc). Red is widely used to indicate danger (high voltage signs, traffic lights). This color is also commonly associated with energy, so you can use it when promoting energy drinks, games, cars, items related to sports and high physical activity.

Red is the color of my own true lover's hair
am F am G
Black was the night when she was no longer there
am F am G
Now she e-mails daily from up north in canada
am F G am
she could no longer stand to live in the homeland of Dubya

I had hope to join her on some happy golden day
I've tried and tried but I just can't seem to find a way
No jobs no skills no prospects so they said no thanks to me
I'm down and out and loveless in the land of the free

Can't you hear the marching boots just outside your door
Can' t you hear the howling of the grizzly hounds of war
You hit the snooze alarm and sleep for 15 minutes more
While others slumber I tremble at what we have in store
