Red colour Symbolism in Spirituality

All this time I have been searching for the reason why Gurbani / Sikh scriptures, mention that those who are coloured in Red are fortunate.Lal Raang Tis Ko Laga, Jis Ke Vad Bhaga. Red colour is associated with root chakra and also with the Indian weddings but that doesn't explain its spiritual significance.
In alchemy, reddening symolises unification of man with god, unification of the limited with the unlimited. Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy
This is a much more satisfactory answer.
