Key
to A Flash of Red
Although
in some ways we all react similarly to the color red,
there are also significant differences in our psychological responses.
This is not simply a matter of taste or acculturation but seems to have
roots that sink deeper into the mind. In the natural world, red
is the universal sign of danger, a way for one animal to let potential
foes and competitors know, "Careful, I bite and I'm poisonous." But this
same shade is also powerfully seductive, and for animals attuned to the
same sexual frequency, it can signal that the mating season has begun.
In nature as in fashion, it's not the color itself; it's what you do with
it.
The images
you had of the three red-accented
women reveal the kinds of women you view as friend and foe. This results
in different interpretations, depending on whether the respondent is male
or female.
Female
respondents.
The woman
with red nails is seen as a threat
and represents the type of woman you can't imagine yourself ever getting
along with. On the other hand, you feel a strange and compelling attraction
to the woman with red lips. The woman
with red hair is an image of the type
of woman that you hope you will never become.
Male respondents.
The red-nailed
woman is the kind of person you fear will use or make a fool of you, while
the red-lipped woman is the type you
can imagine yourself falling wildly in love with. The redheaded
woman represents the type you can't see yourself being attracted to, no
matter how physically beautiful she may be.
