Why is red the “color of power”?

574 viewsBiologyOther

Red is everywhere – celebrities walk the red carpet, politicians wear red ties, and lots of sports teams wear it. There have even been studies showing that the same person is perceived as being more attractive when wearing red.

The question is, why? What’s the biological explanation for this?
