Express yourself!
Every week we ask you a different question. Hear what people in London say, then join the conversation!
What do you associate with the colour red?

I think of Hong Kong 'cos that's where I live and I just think of China and Chinese society and festivals and food.
I suppose there are lots of meanings, isn't it? Love, anger, danger. All sorts, really. We use it to 'stop' at traffic lights and for attention, 'cos red is quite a bright colour like that.
Do you ever see red?
No. I'm a very calm, cool and collected person.
Very fiery, angry, maybe quite a socialist colour. Quite an inspirational colour as well. I think it's the most emotive of all colours.我会想到香港,因为那是我生活的地方…,会想到中国和中国社会还有节日,还有美食(笑)。
我认为红色代表许多意思,不是吗?爱情,危机…各种意思,真的。我们把它用在红绿灯来起到警示作用,因为红色是如此明亮的一种颜色。
你经常看到红色吗?
不。我是一个非常冷静,镇定的人。
非常邪恶,愤怒,也许有一点社会主义的色彩同时也是一种相当振奋人心的色彩。
我认为它是所有颜色中最富有感情色彩的。
