{Pg. 158, Book2} From red as a rose to red as a beet, when we see red it affects us emotionally. Scientific experiments have shown that people asked to remain in a room with red walls become more passionate, aggressive, and easily aroused than people in rooms with muted backgrounds. Research has even shown that exposure to red can make the body temperature rise. Red may be at the low end of the spectrum of light, but it has power to move us like no other color.
Imagine three women, each of whom is fond of the color red and uses it to accent her appearance. The first of these women has her nails painted red, the second wears red lipstick, and the third has her hair colored the same shade. Now imagine their personalities and describe each one.

Key to A Flash of Red
Although in some ways we all react similarly to the color red, there are also significant differences in our psychological responses. This is not simply a matter of taste or acculturation but seems to have roots that sink deeper into the mind. In the natural world, red is the universal sign of danger, a way for one animal to let potential foes and competitors know, "Careful, I bite and I'm poisonous." But this same shade is also powerfully seductive, and for animals attuned to the same sexual frequency, it can signal that the mating season has begun. In nature as in fashion, it's not the color itself; it's what you do with it.
The images you had of the three red-accented women reveal the kinds of women you view as friend and foe. This results in different interpretations, depending on whether the respondent is male or female.
Female respondents.
The woman with red nails is seen as a threat and represents the type of woman you can't imagine yourself ever getting along with. On the other hand, you feel a strange and compelling attraction to the woman with red lips. The woman with red hair is an image of the type of woman that you hope you will never become.
Male respondents.
The red-nailed woman is the kind of person you fear will use or make a fool of you, while the red-lipped woman is the type you can imagine yourself falling wildly in love with. The redheaded woman represents the type you can't see yourself being attracted to, no matter how physically beautiful she may be.

Very interesting...
nails: outgoing, extrovert, over-friendly
lips: passionate, sexy
hair: shy, withdrawn
now this one worked well, thank you...
My second two answers were close to yours, but my first answer was a super meticulous business type woman with perfectly manicured red nails.
Interesting analysis.
Thanks again Jack!
"The first has her nails painted red" - tasteful, classy, concern for every detail, she looks her best wherever she goes, and has an agreement with her friends to "check up" on each other and mention any "problem" they might see with a quick trip to the powder room. This woman knows what she wants, what it takes to get there, and is confident of the results.
"the second wears red lipstick" - she is bold and a bit brassy, the word "baby" is her pet name for most folks and is constantly heard when she is around, she has a real lust for living to the fullest and expresses herself concerning such, not afraid to take a risk since every outcome cannot be anticipated at times she barrels into the unknown, she handles herself with confidence and even her tears bring sure affirmations for they are always honestly shed.
"the third has her hair colored the same shade" - the wild child, bracelets galore, piercings unmentionable, tattoos that tell a story, she tried three times to find a color to cover the jet black she had used previously, and this one got almost to the roots, she's usually in a tee shirt and if it suits her there's nothing underneath it and she's proud of her assets, her next big event is where the local punk band is playing and she can hardly wait, a few steps past the edge the ride is wild exhilirating and totally out of control!
woman number 1, my granddaughter sweetings loves to have red nails. She is brave, daring, resourceful, and full of action. She is never passive but always takes charge of a situation.
woman number 2, red lips--sexy
woman number 3, a red head--actually most of the red heads I know are pretty pleasant people, happy, content with life, and kind-hearted.
This was exactly right for my responses:
Red nails - high-maintenance, bitchy, prima-donna type.
Red lips - sexy, sensual, bordering on promiscous.
Red hair - loud, brassy, over-the top, doesn't notice when she makes other people cringe when she talks.
Larry, that is quite the character sketch of your three women... looking forward to the book ;)
Loved reading everyone's descriptions of the three women. Thanks for playing along!
Red nails - daring and into fashion
Red lips - sensual - wants, needs, deserves a good kiss
Red hair - sassy, wild artistic
I love red shoes! I wonder what that says about me?
