Red, your color preference, is at the hot end of the color spectrum with a long wavelength of about 700 millimicrons. Red is the first of the primary colors and in ancient writings represented the body, the earth, and hell, all three of which signify similar symbolic meanings in ancient mystery religions.
The earth was the irrational world into which the soul descended from heaven. The body was the earth form which held the soul captive. Your choice of this action color shows you, the complete earth form being, to be forceful, vigorous, and energetic.
