Looking at a variety of newspapers, one thing I have noticed in particular is a lot of red titles in tabloid newspapers especially. Below are my examples...
 |
| Daily Mirror |
 |
| The Sun |
 |
| Daily Star |
Connotations of red:
- Anger
- Courage
- Love/Passion
- Heat
- Courage
- Danger
- Republican
I don't think any of these connotations to me suggest why tabloid newspapers use the colour red for their headlines. I think purely the colour red is mainly used to attract readers with the sensationalised headlines because its bold and eye-catching. I think the connotation of anger would fit in with tabloid newspapers as they do express articles with a one-sided angry view, which reflects the colour red and loudness and brash articles in the newspapers.
