+458 You wonder who started the whole red vs blue thing. (not the popular web series) I mean who chose red and blue to be two opposing forces, why not yellow and green or purple and white, amirite?

It's classic. Republican vs Democrat, Bloods vs. Crips, etc. Red and Blue are just fated :)

Nope.

The contrast color of blue is orange, and red is green.

In shooting games it's that way because if it were soething like black vs white or brown vs gold, one team would have an advantage at camoflaging.

But youre eye is attracted to red more than blue, so that argument is void.

This arguement appears to be nerd vs artist.

Sometimes it's green vs. red, like Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Halo did it.

I wanted chartreuse vs. robins egg blue but it's such a mouthful!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The real reason is due to the dozens of wars the French and English used to fight, the French wore blue uniforms, and the English wore red ones. So it just kinda became the norm for one side to be red, the other blue. (And BTW red vs blue in videogames was around long before halo even existed)

i think it started because red represents hot ,and blue represents cold. those are opposites.
