No, in bull fights when bulls try to attack the red capes it is not because the cape is red it is because the cape is a big fast moving object. Bulls are color blind, they can't even see that the cape is red. This myth was started, in the 1700's when bullfights where very popular in spain. The matadors ( bull fighters ) always used red capes to attract the bulls, so it was from then on believed that the color red makes bulls angry. - John Baskin
