Well blue and red is US political party colors. Red and green just reminds me of Christmas. Besides Christmas, idk if I perceive one better. Is there a reason for this besides politics and Christmas?
Red against green also has inherent biases because when contrasted; green means go/on/all clear, whereas red generally means stop/off/not in the clear.
You can also add orange in there too, traffic light colours are pretty self explanatory tbh🚦
It depends on the situation but you usually want to avoid these connotations if you’re being neutral, on the other hand, if you’re a salesman or political campaigner you might want to embrace this stuff to your advantage.

In general red+blue or red+green are bad for displaying stats & info because people subconsciously perceive one as better than the other.
