Why are theatre seats red?

For centuries, Italy was the center of opera performances and their opera houses were primarily red and gold. Throughout the rest of Europe they used the same colour palette.

More importantly, the red colour has to do with science: once the house lights are dimmed, the red colour will be the first to disappear from our sight. Because of that, the theatre becomes more darker.
