who invented the color red and why?

Answer 1

I invented the color red. In 1983, the government sponsored a contest to come up with a new color for stopsigns, as people kept driving straight through the original, periwinkle versions. Being only a year and a half old at the time, I didn't think it was possible, but after several grueling months of experimentation I concocted what became commonly known as "red", and, lo and behold, it worked--stopsigns were able to effect their intended goal. They gave me a billion dollars which i quickly squandered on non-alcoholic booze and baby-hookers. Any pre-1983 pictures you see with red in it have been doctored. Blood, btw, only turns red in the open air, when it realizes how sexy the color is.

Answer 2

Your brain, because it made you look.

What the brain percieves as the color "red" is a digital signal which resulted from light of a certain wavelength striking special cells in the retina of the eye. The eye can normally only see three colors directly, but combines them to create the sensation of other colors. However, the brain is essentially a blind painter which has to know which brush is which color. If the colors are switched, the brain could just as easily paint a perfect photographic negative. "Red" would still be "red", although to a normal person it would appear green.

Red is an important color because of plants. Plants absorb red and ultraviolet light, and reflect green light. However, when a plant wants to advertise something, it makes it red. Roses and Apples are good examples. Sometimes, red means danger. In the natural world, the combination of red and black are universal warning colors. It usually means something is poisionous.

Reguarding the electromagnetic radiation responcible for red light, it is just what the "Big Bang" is doing at the moment. Energy and matter are neither created nor destroyed, so all the energy the universe began with is still present. As it spread out, it began to aquire longer wavelengths. It went from gamma rays to X rays to Ultraviolet light to green light and then to red light. A prisim shows all the colors of sunlight. Below red light is infrared light, heat waves and finally radio signals. Some people have proposed gravity is a form of electromagnetic radiation with incredibly long wavelengths.

Answer 3

The person who invented the color red was Courage The Cowardly Dog because he could only see red because of santas magic powers that he got one faithful Chirstmas night. He was looking in his basement only to find two bones. He looked even to find a statue of Santa then saw the red coat and ate it so he had the power to touch stuff and it turned red. THE END

Answer 4

The color red occurs naturally, so no one had to invent it. Who discovered water?

Answer 5

Nobody "invented" the color red. Colors come by certain materials absorbing light at certain wavelengths/frequencies and reflecting others. Light is at the long end of the wavelength range (with the wavelength aprox. 625–750 nm) and at the short end of the frequency range (with the frequency at aprox ~480-405 THz), so things that are red reflect red light and absorb all other light.

Answer 6

Al Gore invented the color red when he was in congress... I believe the reason had something to do with tape.

Answer 7

red is a primary color and occurs naturally. no one invented it, unless you want to say God did.

Answer 8

Who ever invented blood.

Answer 9

Pittsburgh Nelly. A welsh whore who could do things with her one GOOD arm, that would make you forget about the thing on her neck.
