The colour red is usually associated with "danger" and "you're about to do something dangerous." What should you look out for if you're planning on a design that is primarily focused around the colour red? Also, in that case, is red still a "correct" colour for warnings?
Answer
@DA1 has pretty much covered the main aspect that it would depend on the context i.e. a red call to action to button might stand out more strongly and convince people to click it as opposed to one with a lighter shade.
His second point about branding is also spot on.
Another aspect I would recommend that you consider is that you should also look at the meaning of red from a cultural/regional perspective.What might be used as an indication of danger or evil in some cultures might actually have the exact opposite effect in other cultures
