Red is perhaps the most controversial color to wear at a funeral. In many cultures, red symbolizes passion, celebration, or even good luck. For example, in weddings across parts of Asia, red is seen as a joyful color.
At a funeral, however, the same brightness can appear jarring and deeply inappropriate. In Western traditions, red may be interpreted as attention-seeking, suggesting that the person wearing it wants to stand out rather than blend into a somber occasion. Imagine a sea of black and muted colors, and suddenly a bright red dress or tie catches every eye—it immediately distracts from the purpose of the gathering.
