Why is a bull fighters cape red?


Colors affect behoavior and I am trying to find out why a bullfighters cape is red? How does the color red affect a bull if it affects the bull at all.

Answer by oldprof
Legacy and tradition... that's all.

In fact the Mythbusters tested other colors against a bull and found the bull reacted pretty much the same with them all. What gets a bull riled up is the movement, not the color, of the cape (and the bull fighter).

I think a more interesting behavior to study would be that of bull fight fans. Why do they enjoy watching a poor dumb bull being harassed and tortured before it is finally killed? Some will answer it could happen to the bull fighter as well. Which it could. But why is that also enjoyable to bull fight fans?
