The texture of silk is smooth and easily slips from the grasp. It is exciting and sensuous as a fabric. Anger, courage, love, heat, and passion, according to the chart.
I don’t associate red with smoothness, or silk with any of those emotional qualities.
I can’t tell if this is wordplay based on the ambiguity in the quoted sentence (in which case, I like the joke :) ) or if you’re serious. If you’re serious, then yes, I’m sure: while emotions may not ask me for permission, I’m aware of what they’re associated with.
Strange. I have associations for green (foliage, leafs), yellow (sun), blue(water). Red requires conscious effort to select domain for association to pop up.
This is approximately in line with what studies on human responses depending on colour stimulus have found.
Sounds like it could just as well be cultural. “Red”, in particular, could easily get associated with “heat” in various cultures because of fire, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard-wired to the brain.
You don’t need to respond, but you seem to have misread the original comment. The David Gemmell quote compared red to silk. I said I didn’t associate that list of emotional qualities with silk. I also said that I did not associate red with smoothness. Those were the associations being discussed.

Are you sure about that? Your emotions don’t ask you for permission before they make associations.

This is me saying that yes, you do have these associations with red, they are hardwired into your brain.
To be clear, we’re talking about associating red with smoothness? Why do you think this is hardwired into my brain?
And silk? You think silk is hardwired into people’s brains? What about humans who lived before the cultivation of silkworms was discovered?
My response referred to the emotional qualities, not to smoothness. The list I read in your comment was:
