In South Africa, red means mourning and is a symbol of the Apartheid era. In America, red is synonymous with passion and lust; thus, red cards, flowers, and gifts are sold on Valentine’s Day. In China, red symbolizes good luck and a long life.  Red is the color of purity and love in India; when women marry, many color the parting of their hair red.

For me, Red makes me feel warm and caring and reminds me of hard work.
