so why red? does anyone actually have an explination..? the only reason i can think of is it's bright enough to draw your attention while not being dark enough to be missed or too bright and hurting your eyes....
Thats pretty much it, lol. The contrast with the dark print makes it stand out, however it doesnt blend in too much with the lighter page. You dont have to strain your eyes to notice it.

Lol.. you asked a question and then answered it
