Red is a powerful colour. It can represent many things, including love, devil, luck, Chinese luck, the British Queen’s regalia, Tiger Woods Sunday attire, and many other things.
Research in color psychology shows that the emotion and mood of red can have an impact on our actions, emotions, and mood. Research at the University of Illinois found that red can also be associated with strength.
Woods stated in interviews that his mother was the one who influenced his Sunday polo colour. She thought it was his “power” color. His mother hails from Thailand, where colors are determined by the day of week. Red is Sunday’s favorite color in Thailand.
Many believe this to be a superstition for Woods and that it brings him luck. Some believe that Woods wears red at the end of tournaments to make himself stand out and allow broadcasters and fans to follow his movements.

Red is a vibrant color that is associated with passion, love and anger. What is it that makes red so appealing?
It is striking to see the makeup of a wavelength in red. The longest wavelength of all visible colors is red. This means that when the eye looks at a rainbow, or any other spectrum of colors, it perceives the color first. Red is the most recognized color by babies, which is why it is used for signaling such as fire trucks and stop signs.
Red is associated with warmth and heat. Red objects are more likely to absorb light than other colors. This can make them feel hot. This red property may explain why red is used to warn or signal danger, such as a red warning lamp or the red “danger zone” on a thermometer.
Whatever the reason Tiger Woods prefers red, it is evident that this color has a powerful psychological effect on people. Red is a powerful color, whether it’s used to warn of danger, show love and passion, or to simply catch the eye.
