The primary reason why the color red is used for danger signals is that red light is scattered the least by air molecules. The effect of scattering is inversely related to the fourth power of the wavelength of a color. Therefore blue which has the least wavelength of all the visible radiations is scattered...

Therefore blue which has the least wavelength of all the visible radiations is scattered the most and red which has the highest wavelength of all the colors we can see is scattered the least.

Physics and Maths made easy

It is because red light is prone to least scattering (as per Rayleigh's formula) and hence it has maximum range through the air (atmosphere). This enables to see the signal (red) from a long distance.

It is because red light is scattered the least by air molecules. The effect of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength of a colour. And because, red colour(among all the visible colours) has the highest wavelength, it gets scattered the least when compared to others.

This property of least scattering makes it visible from a large distance and is thus, used as a sign of danger.

Wavelength of red light is more than other colors, thus can cover great distance and scattering by fog or rain or by air molecules is highly reduced. Thus making it the ideal color for danger sign.

As scattering is inversely proportional to the 4th power of wavelength of light and the red colour light has highest wavelength among the visible colours so for this colour, scattering is the least as a result it can be visible easily through a long distance as well !!....that is why it is used as...
