This hue is inspired by the signature red LEGO that lends energy and focus to countless LEGO creations. Red was one of the first colors ever molded when the company began making plastic bricks in 1949, and later produced in the company’s signature ABS plastic from 1963 onward—bright, durable, and instantly eye-catching. Red became a cornerstone of LEGO design, used for fire engines, space suits, castle roofs, and endless childhood inventions. Its intensity makes it one of the most visually dominant bricks in any build, often serving as the accent that gives a model its spark.
