Psychology

Red at medium lightness is perhaps the most attention-commanding hue in the spectrum — associated with urgency, passion, and confidence.

History

In ancient Rome, a particular shade of red — minium — was so valued that the scribes who illuminated manuscripts were called 'rubricators' after the colour they used for headings.

Design use
