Answer 2

red is the color of blood. And it is the color of your face when you get mad. Red is a sign for danger because it is so bold.

Because when you are a little kid you know that red means stop and sometimes it means danger. But why can't it be green or something else like blue or even purple. If u should pick a color why not red.It is also a hot color. Hot colors make you think of danger. Except yellow and orange. LOL. Good question!
