Red is the color of life. Its blood, passion, rage. Vermilion is menstrual flow and after birth. Beginnings and violent end.
 
Scarlet is the color of love. Beating hearts and hungry lips. Roses, Valentines, cherries. Red is the color of rebirth. Crimson cheeks and spilled blood. Broken hearts opened veins. A burning desire to find your real love and stay with them.
