    It's because I'm just not myself anymore, I've changed. The green was calm and peaceful, whereas red is it's opposite.

    Sin, guilt, and passion
    Red is frequently used as a symbol of guilt or sin.
    Also, The Scarlet Letter an 1850 American novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, features a woman in a Puritan New England community who is punished for adultery with ostracism, her sin represented by a red letter 'A' sewn into her clothes. This all comes from a general Hebrew view inherited by Christianity which associates red with the blood of murder, as well as with guilt in general.
    Another popular example of this is in the phrase "caught red-handed", meaning either caught in an act of crime or caught with the blood of murder still on one's hands.

    Warning
    Red catches people's attention, and is often used either in a negative way to indicate danger and emergency.

    Courage and sacrifice
    Red is also used as a symbol of courage and sacrifice, as in blood spilt in sacrifice or courage in the face of lethal danger.
    Red is one of the most common colors used on national flags throughout the world. On these flags it carries the same meanings which it does anywhere else: the blood, sacrifice, and courage of those who defended their country.

    Like most Central African cultures, the Ndembu see red as ambivalent, better than black, but not as good as white. In other parts of Africa, however, red is a color of mourning, representing death. Because of the connection red bears with death in many parts of Africa, the Red Cross has changed its colors to green and white in parts of the continent.

    Red is also a warm color, making people feel warm, filled with energy, and excited.

    Oh...Wait...yeah your right. I had an art book or somethin' like that that said somethin' about red. Oh well.

    But for me, red represents Wrath.
