They used to write the names of the dead bodies in red. And so it is bad luck to do so. Not everyone knows this, but some do. Just last week I was asking the students to write twenty questions in their books. To make it easier for me to mark I asked them to write the answers in red to make it stand out. About a dozen of them switched to another colour when it came to their name. I don't believe this practice is carried across to flowers and other objects. Normally red is an auspicious colour for Thai-Chinese.
