probably because it's somehow part of human nature for this association.

What are some other color combinations for good/bad?

I can currently only think of "green is bad" which is what Blizzard uses.

>>321314815
Natural occurrences in the world of these colours usually conform with beneficial and harmful.

Green is the colour of grass, folliage.
Blue is the sky and water.
Red is tomatoes, which while delicious in other foods are terrible by themselves.

>>321314815
Imagine you are a small mouse-like creature.
If you see something green, it is probably a plant.
If you see something red, it is probably blood.
Which do you think would make you happy?
Which do you think would make you scared?

>>321315742
Green is also the color of stinger plants.
Red is the color of delicious raspberries (and also tomatoes are great by themselves, fuck you)
Checkmate, atheists.

>A study involving monkeys found that the animals avoided humans who wore red (versus green or blue). “We – primates and then humans – are very visual,” neuroscientist Jerald Kralik said about the experiment. He further explained that color provides cues for everything from what is ok to eat to determining how others feel in different situations. “We start to see that color may have a deeper and wider-ranging influence on us than we have previously thought.”

Because it just works.

>Green isn't always associated with good things. For example, the Chinese expression "to wear a green hat" sounds exactly like the Chinese for "to be cuckolded" - so Chinese men wouldn't be caught dead in a green hat. Similarly, green is associated with other forms of bad luck.

Marketingfag here, let me explain something. There's a difference between associations and inherent effects on the mind. As mentioned before, white in Asian cultures and black in western being associated with death is simply associations. As for actual reactions, these are completely free of any pre-existing associations and will not produce overt effects to those experiencing them but still have a pretty significant effect on people
Just google "color theory marketing" and it should be obvious why allies are typically green/blue and enemies red

Red is a warning color because, in nature, the color red stands out more vividly to the eyes of animals. Most things that are red are toxic.

Tomatoes, for instance, are a member of the nightshade family and have been made safe to eat through generations of selective breeding by humans.
