Violet??
[edit]I thought red is opposite to green; I could be wrong though can someone please explain? Thanks in advance. 46.121.169.63 (talk) 16:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- This page is for discussing improvements to the article, not general questions. But in short there are different ways of organizing colours, each better or worse suited for various purposes (painting, printing, digitization, stage lighting, and so on). See Color wheel for some examples.—Odysseus1479 19:09, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Etymology
[edit]What is the reason for this article not including an etymology section (like other color articles do)? ZFT (talk) 22:50, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
Western focus in Symbolism section?
[edit]The Symbolism section mentions a lot of e.g. French, US, UK and other traditionally Christian symbols.
The very first section of Red in culture says that red has positive connotations in southern China, but this is not mentioned once in the Symbolism section of this article. (although Red in culture doesn't seem immediately high quality). ~2026-50761-27 (talk) 10:00, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
