Red has many connotations.
It could mean danger, death, destruction.
If a woman is wearing red in a movie or book, we ultimately think something terrible is going to happen or she is to be avoided. The earliest is Little Red Riding Hood.
We should have seen that a wolf wasn’t far behind.
However, there are many beautiful things that have this amazing hue.
When we watch a dawn, it brings us joy. We can sit watching the sunrise, and we get to live another day.

Rising from the inner crust
orange, red, yellow
earth shares her life’s glow
This is beautiful ❤️
