Barns are actually red because farmers would create their own cheap paint by mixing rust (which gives it the red color) and milk.  \nNow they are red because they have always been red.  :-)

Bulls are colour blind, and therefore are not irritated at all simply by the colour red at a bullfight. What they are really attracted to is the waving object which catches their side vision and activates their hunting instinct.  One theory about why red is chosen is that the scarves were actually white (or a more natural linen colour), but since they were reused often (and usually covered in blood by the end of it), they stained red.  Thus, people started just dying the cloth red from the begining.

The red color is found in many soils around the world.\nThe cause of that is the presence of oxides and hydroxides of Fe and Al.\nThose soils are known as ''weatherized'', usually done by many, many years of exposure to heat and humidity.

Make the rows the length of the barn instead of the width.  Although the length isn't given, it's only possible.  Disregard the non-essential info.

This is basically correct.  You will find the "stars" on older brick homes.  There is a rod or rods that run through the house essentially to hold it together.  The star on the outside is a decorative way to hide the end of the rod and to provide the anchor points.

To "see red" is to become very angry or enraged.\n\nI think it's related to a bull seeing a red flag (as in a bull fight), and charging it.

Bulls are color blind.\n\nIf you're thinking in terms of bull-fighting...it isn't the color of the red cape that attracts their attention.  It's the movement, the waving of the cape.

After the paint is laid down, glass beads are melted on them to give it a reflective quality so they are visible at night. The paint is also highly durable to last a long time.
