I wonder what has been subverted into what?

It all depends on what you are trying to communicate. Colors and their variants each have their respective positive properties. It all boils down to the message.

The human eye is known to focus on blue tones in front of the retina. As a result, blue tones move away from the eye or sight. Therefore, they are non -threatening and tend to make you feel drowsy. For instance, blue is a very good color if you wish to communicate professionalism, stability, relaxation, logic, etc. But red tones are focused behind the retina. Thus, by moving toward the eye, they tend to communicate aggressiveness, excitement, energy, and emotion.

There was this study that involved a weightlifter who was given a set of barbells -- if memory serves me correctly, they were about 200-250 pounds. This experienced athlete seemed to have no problems in pumping the weights, even raising the weights over his head.

Then, a large red-colored card was placed in front of his face, covering his entire field of vision. But this time he began to pump the weights as if they were feathers , without any visible signs of physical strain.

When the red-colored card was replaced by a blue-colored one. Not only was the athlete no longer able to lift the barbells passed his torso, but immediately the level of physical exertion had increased quite a bit by merely looking at his face, arms, and legs.

Moments later, researchers switched back to the red-colored card. And things apparently went back to normal. The lifter began to pump the weights with ease as if nothing happened -- let alone the fact that the change seemed also instantaneous. (While other colors were used in the test, the red and blue cards seemed to have made the greatest impact.)

Blue tones are therefore their dominant colors. In the case of surgeons and dentists, for example, red makes people nervous and blue therefore helps to calm them down. (By the way, this is the reason why most hospital and medical garment colors, beyond the traditional white, are light blue, dark blue, light green, violet, purple, and so on.) But if you are trying to get people excited and communicate an emotional message (for example, if you sell items related to sports, cars, games, money, weight-loss, motivation, etc), then reds are the choice.

In short, blues tend to signify logic while reds equal emotion. However, keep in mind that you can use both colors, depending on your goals or theme. For instance is the way villains and heroes are often portrayed in movies not always, but often. Villains often appear in dark reddish colors while heroes are in lighter bluish tones.
