Actually, I was just reading that it was an unlucky colour in China.

Edit: Actually. Lucky in China but the write in red when firing people or cancelling/ending relationships.

In some other cultures it means the writer is about to die!!!

I just looked and red is a lucky colour but you shouldn't write people's names including your own in red.

I looked as well and one stated that only the Emporer wrote in red and any 'commoner' caught doing so would be executed. Now that's not very lucky!

In the West, red ink symbolises debt as accountants (before computers) used it for that purpose. Hence the saying "in the red".

But generally it is considered poor form/bad manners.

I remember that from my youth. I still have an aversion to writing with a red pen. I seem to remember green was also a no-no unless you were in a specific profession (which I can't remember but it was probably accountants again),

It means "Go". So if you tell someone to Fook Off you're telling them to Go Off or Go Away.
