Geocache Description:


Red is the archetypal color, the first color humans mastered, fabricated, reproduced, and broke down into different shades, first in painting and later in dyeing. This has given it primacy over all other colors through the millennia.
Michel Pastoureau
French professor of medieval history and an expert in Western symbology.


(Prehistoric art - Cave of Altamira, Spain.)

Red is for passion, danger, fire, blood.

Red is for embarrassment, anger, power, status, good fortune.
