Discussion: Red: flop or hot?

Jberg

People say the color red makes someone more attractive, do you believe that?

Quote:

Colors also carry specific meanings, such as good or bad, that likely have important influences on psychological functioning.

Recently, Andrew Elliot and Daniela Niesta extended this idea of color stereotypes to the study of sexual attraction (Elliot & Niesta, 2008). Specifically, they were interested if certain colors were more likely to be associated with sex appeal, and if so, would wearing them make people more attractive to the opposite sex.

So when you think about sexiness, what color first comes to mind?

If you are like most Americans, you thought of the color red. Red means different things to different cultures. In Chinese culture it represents good luck and prosperity, which is why people often paint their front doors red-but in American culture, red often means sex. If you think about it, most of the images that represent passionate love are red: Red roses, red lipstick, red lingerie, red heart boxes of candy on Valentine's, even the "red light district."

But red is a versatile color. It doesn't just represent sex and lust; it also is used to represent power and prestige.

No one has ever really looked bad in the color red, so I guess it's true.

My heart, it breaks.

I didn't have any of these traits in mind when I came up with this name. I just trimmed a name that I used elsewhere (and still use as part of others, *cough*Twitter*cough*) down to just "Red". If you want to associate it with sexiness and/or prestige, though, I won't mind.

And yes, red is a sexy color. Women just look better in red, for some reason...at least to me, anyway.
