What color to wear on your dating app profile
 
The article Is Red Really Romantic? by Gabrielle K. Lehmann and Robert J. Calin-Jageman that has just been released in our journal Social Psychology looks at the "Red-Romance Hypothesis."
 
As Dalmeet Singh Chawla writes for Slate, "The effect makes sense because we associate red with passion, something that might have evolutionary roots, since people flush when they’re angry."
