Pretend that you are talking to a blind man and have to describe for him what "red" is. You should use narrative and descriptive writing techniques, and try to appeal to his other senses!
A way in which I would describe the color "red" to a blind man would be by saying it is a color that seems to attract sadness. The color red is usually gloomy, the color of blood, and the color that seems to represent sadness. This color is also known for symbolizing sin, guilt, pain, passion, blood, and anger. All of these things are symbloized red because they all seem to represent some type of sorrow, or some type of evil, or something unwanted. Sin is a type of evil that is not wanted, which goes back to relating to the bible. Guilt is also something that is not necessarily good because it is something most people feel after one knows that they were in the wrong. Pain can be caused by so many different things, it can be physical or emotional pain. Anger is another thing that the color red can represent because it is explained by many people that when one is angry their blood is boiling, which may or may not be true. But blood is red, where all of these things seem to have a relation in a way.
