Couldn't find a better source though, and I didn't want to muddy the waters further on the claim, so I stuck to the elements that are widely believed. The Robinson paper confirms that it's conventional wisdom, although it's in the context of trying to debunk it. (The psychological effect of red color might make a good question of its own.) | |

Meanwhile, the color red signals dominance, aggression, and danger psychologically -- I watched a TV documentary about the effect that plant-life has had on the evolution of Planet Earth: it said that the reason why we (humans) have color vision is so that we can distinguish between ripe and unripe fruit (ripe fruit being red as opposed to green). There's a similar allegation at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision#Evolution
