The History of the Color Red Takes Center Stage in New Exhibition
Over the course of time, red has left its mark on numerous things: it’s the shade of blood and the pigment our early human ancestors often used when painting cave walls. Later, the Romans preferred red for adorning their military uniforms, and in current times, red is one of the most commonly used primary colors among sports teams and many national flags. Currently, at the North Carolina Museum of Art, there’s a fresh exhibit delving into the history of the color red.
