When i first came across this prompt, it surprised me a little when I found out that I never really thought about the color of love. I knew that society often associates the colors red, pink, and white with love, but i never really knew why. Upon further evaluation, I came to the conclusion that red is indeed the color of love. Red to me is a very deep, rich color. It can be used to describe many things, from angry blood to the cheerful carnival balloons a child is desperately clutching. Red is also a primary color, one of the building blocks to other colors. Is not love a basic need, one that everyone longs for and builds upon? Red can represent an entire range of emotions, depending on which shade or intensity it is. A dark, dull red is the tragic ending to a movie. A bright red is the merry face of a child who has played for hours in the snow. Add orange to the red, and it becomes a heartwarming fire. Add purple, and it turns into a blooming spring flower. Red can change personalities very easily, as can love. It represents the complexities and all the different kinds of love there are.
