Red is the color I researched today. Here are my ten findings:
  1. Specific Association: Blood
    Related Association: Death, War, Horror
    Regionally or Culturally Specific? No
    Reasons: People perceive blood as red when they bleed. Blood is often associated with death, violence, war, or horror, so red blood used in a work of art dealing with these subjects is something most people can connect with.
