Red makes me feel energized and strong.--Calinda
I saw an episode of Law & Order: SVU last week where a lady (witness) had everything in her life red. Her apartment had red furnishings, kitchenware, art, curtains etc... her clothes were all red, her makeup was red too. Even though the red was everywhere it somehow interested me. I'm not sure why, but it stirred feelings of excitement for me.
The interesting thing is I have never had an interest in red before, but after seeing her intense red 'life' I now want to achieve the same. Maybe not as extreme, but certainly more red in my life makes a great change in my daily moods and energy levels.

I failed the Pepsi challenge back in the 80's but it is the color red that attracts me to Coke. My favorite beer has a red label. Red for me is a fun color that allows me to create an environment that might not really exist - just a plain compelling place that is full of excitement.

The color red makes me feel happy, and that is my favorite color. I love Xmas-time and Valentines Day because there is so much red involved.

Confidence. Power. Self acceptance.

I do love red it makes me feel in charge of my life. I feel notice by others and I receive confident when it's around me or if I'm wearing it.

My favourite colour as a child has always been red. I love red because it is vibrant, loud, and it presents to me strength.

Red is passion. Red means you are alive and face life full throttle with pedal to the metal!

I love red in clothes and cars. Then again I wouldn't decorate in red. Too bold for me.

I have always appreciated the colour RED to be a confident colour,and therefore wearing a RED shirt shows confidence. For all those studying for finals,wear a red shirt to the EXAM. You'll ACE it!
