Colorchallenge Monday Red + background information about the color Red

Now enough of the words, here is my contribution to the Monday Color Challenge Saturday June 23, 2018 with the Color theme Red.

I had to confess, I had to google to know exactly what the color Red looks like. The Wikipedia says

Red is the colour stimulus that is perceived when light falls into the eye with a spectral distribution in which wavelengths above 600 nm dominate. While most mammals have problems perceiving the color red, the human eye is very sensitive to it. This colour is used correspondingly frequently for warning signals.

But I have to admit that I'm not too sure if the pictures contain enough of the color Red :-) what do you think?

I took these pictures at the beginning of March when we visited the fortress of old Corinth on the Peloponnese in Greece.

Well, it didn't make me any smarter. But in the depths of the internet you will find countless examples of images that contain this color or just a color table that shows the exact color tone.

On Pixabay I found a small color table and after that I could orientate myself a little.

So now I knew exactly which pictures I had to look for to take part in a Color Challenge.

In the last 20 years I have certainly archived 20.000 and more pictures and partly also met. Search function for places, landscapes, buildings and other search criteria would not be a problem, but still colors?

I could of course march off now and look for new motifs that exactly meet this criterion. But I will refrain from that for the time being. I will select images from my database and participate in the Color Challenge with them.

Of course, from now on I will also tag my pictures according to the colors and thus also call a color-based database my own.

I hope you like the pictures, and if it should be so I would be pleased about leaving a comment.
