The image of red is a color that is used to express the joys of work and life!

Red is considered the first color name to appear in many languages as a basic color term, and it holds a special place among colors in terms of both color theory and culture.

In Japan, in particular, when people first began to describe colors with words, red represented “light” and was the opposite of “dark.” It shares the same etymological root as the word “akaru” (to become bright). It signifies the moment when night gives way to day and the surroundings brighten, referring to the color of the sky as it is tinged with the red and orange hues of the sun.

As a word with such a meaning, the positive associations of red include love, power, passion, excitement, celebration, drama, good luck, candor, leadership, extroversion, and challenge.

Negative associations, on the other hand, include anger, danger, frustration, pain, impatience, and impoliteness.
