We have a deeper connection to red than any other color on the spectrum and we react to it in certain ways.

Red is the most attractive and inviting colour.

When you're looking at a website, you want a bright & engrossing layout.

A red & white colour scheme does just that.

You don't want black and grey, you want a sociable and lively colour and red is exactly that.

So red is very attractive colour to our eyes so probably this will be the reason.
