Red light is a secondary additive colour - as it is one of the colours to make white light

You 'see' red when all the other wavelengths of colour are absorbed into a surface, and red is reflected to your eye.

Because red light beams are the longest, they are seen as the sun goes down. When there is a dust storm, or bush fire the light reflects on the particles making the sky seem red.

When a silver piece is under red light, it takes on a very different feel. We see red light in nature at sunrise, sunset, or near a fire. Depending on our experiences our emotional response will be so different!
