Red London Buses
Double-decker buses were popularized in Great Britain at the start of the 20th century and today the best-known example is the red London bus, namely the AEC Routemaster. By the mid-1920s there were about 20 different companies with buses driving all over the city. The largest of these businesses, The London General Omnibus Company (LGOC), sought to differentiate from their competition and painted their buses bright red.
While the building in this photo has a traditional design, the red bus strikingly adds color to the image.

Redness of a Cardinal
Northern cardinals get their red color from carotenoids, which are pigments found in many foods, including red and purple fruits, carrots, ripe tomatoes, and autumn leaves. When cardinals eat these foods, their bodies convert the yellow carotenoids into red. The quality of a cardinal’s red color can indicate how well it’s eating, and brighter plumage can be a sign of overall fitness.
