Editor's Notes

  • #27 Across cultures we see red portrayed in a variety of different associations. In China, red is a symbol of good luck. In South Africa, red is symbolic of mourning. If you’re “in the red” on Wall Street, you’re losing money. In Jamaica, if you’re red, you’re drunk. In U.S. politics, Red is the Republican Party. Worldwide, red is the color communism. As we can see in these few examples, even though the color itself does not change, the emotional impact that it creates does. Remember, red’s meaning is often dependent on its cultural, historical, and political context.
