Ashley. Why do you think that red is such a dominant color in many country's flags?
ReplyDeleteIs there a reason they choose complimentary colors (red and green)?
ReplyDeleteRed is a very dominant color because the color red represents power. Countries do not want to appear weak. By putting red on their the flag represents the power and strength therein. When you compare a country with a flag with blues and whites compare to a flag with reds and blues which would you think is more dominant? Most likely you would chose the colors more flashy and more bold and in your face. This is why many countries chose bold colors such as red as their flag colors, to represent power, dominance, and strength.
