The primary reason why the color red is used for danger signals is that red light is scattered the least by air molecules.

Therefore blue which has the least wavelength of all the visible radiations is scattered the most and red which has the highest wavelength of all the colors we can see is scattered the least.

It is because red light is scattered the least by air molecules. The effect of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength of a colour. And because, red colour(among all the visible colours) has the highest wavelength, it gets scattered the least when compared to others.

This property of least scattering makes it visible from a large distance and is thus, used as a sign of danger.

As scattering is inversely proportional to the 4th power of wavelength of light and the red colour light has highest wavelength among the visible colours so for this colour, scattering is the least as a result it can be visible easily through a long distance as well !!....that is why it is used as...

As blue colour which has the least wavelength and is scattered the most and red which has largest wavelength of all the colors is scattered the least. So red light is able to travel the farthest distance and can be recognized easily even in unusual weather conditions and also catches attention though left unnoticed. To divert attention towards the important and danger situation, red colour is used. read less

Red is the sign of danger because,red color is scattered the least by air molecules so one can see the red color signal from a long distance even in rain,fog and same situations like this.

Physics and Maths made easy

It is because red light is prone to least scattering (as per Rayleigh's formula) and hence it has maximum range through the air (atmosphere). This enables to see the signal (red) from a long distance.
