Red is a hot colour. Americans often use it to represent heat. When they say “red hot”, that means they are very angry about something. Loud music is popular with many people. Some may say that such music is redhot. Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say “I’m in the pink” when they are in good health.
