Red

Since I am a doctor, the color red reminds me of blood.

It shows the beauty of the human spirit when a stranger donates blood out of compassion. I recall the anxiety of the patient, when red is being drawn in a syringe, hoping the results aren't an indicator of upcoming health struggles. Red is the color of the blush of a newborn, when it smiles. Without red, life is pale, or even worse, blue.

You are right, cosmicweavers, red is the color of strength. Red reminds me of the color worn by the bride on her wedding day - A strong lady who is now a part of another family.

Red is the color of Ruby, my favorite stone. Personally, I believe having a red bag brings good luck - I always have one in my collection.

Red also reminds me of the color chosen for clothes on a particular Eid, along with green. It fills me with sorrow. Red is the color of tears.
