Using Red: Use the color red to grab attention and to get people to take action. Use red when you don't want to sink into the background. Use red to suggest speed combined with confidence and perhaps even a dash of danger. A little bit of red goes a long way. Small doses can often be more effective than large amounts of this strong color. Multiple shades of red and even pink or orange can combine for a cheerful palette.
Using Red with Other Colors: Although not normally considered an ideal coupling, in combination with green, red is a Christmas color â€” a joyful season.
Cool blues provide contrast and tone down the heat of red. Light pinks and yellows are harmonizing colors that can work well with red if not too close in value such as dark red with a pale or golden yellow. Be careful using purple. It can be an elegant combination but too much could be overpowering.

Add a dash of red to a soft but sophisticated pink and gray combo. For some countries, including the US, red, white, and blue is a very patriotic trio even if the shades of red and blue differ from those used in the flag.
Red Color Palettes: These color palettes feature shades of red used with a variety of yellows, blues, greens, and neutrals.
Using Red in Other Design Fields:

Language of Red: The use of red in familiar phrases can help a designer see how their color of choice might be perceived by others â€” both the positive and negative aspects.

There are kinds of red that are considered 'hot'... and some reds are just repulsive.. I think it depends on your skin tone too.. That is if you're talking about make up and clothings...

In general specially in tropical and hotter countries red is hot because they often attract`s heat, while white or light colors is more cool since those colors blocking the absorption of heat. Also the reason why in some cold countries like, Norway, Russia, Finland, Iceland most people have thier rooftops and houses painted in red or darker colors to absorve more heat during winter days. whilest in terms of women`s clothing & accessories, lipsticks, nail polishes red is "hot and sexy" because it attracts the opposite sex more likely than not.
