Research: Chile Red Wins!

There was a report on NPR yesterday finally settling the long dispute. Red is the winning color. A study found the following:

1. The three most winning Brit football (soccer to us) teams wear red

2. Tiger Wood wears red

3. A random sampling of amateur boxers given either blue or red shorts found that those in red won 67% of the time

and my favorite:

4. birds given a red band around a foot experience a rise in status.pecking order

The theory is either that the color increases confidence or instills admiration of others.

It is settled. Chili Red is the fastest color. Now I have to figure out why a BRG barrelled by me as I was listening.

And I believe that beautiful sunsets further represent the ultimate triumph of red over blue.

[MiniClo... I think this is Wanda's cue to jump in with an observation something like "after the red has faded, blackness prevails..."]

Technically night is a dark blue, even a purple haze!

Good post Ini,

You and I are on the same page on this one. Chili red is the fastest color. Now you forgot one other important red victory.

Go Rangers

I should have expected that foul ball. I wonder if Santa Rosa is a hot/caliente town?

Ah, but Lance Armstrong wears yellow when he is leading the pack in cycling.

I guess that means my MINI can beat most bicycles. Woo Hoo!

What happens for 06 when there will be two reds? Which will be faster?


Anybody know when the dealers will get samples of the 06 colors? I am waiting to order because I think I am going to get the new red, if not I want the 05 black.
