The
red suits are hearts and diamonds,
because most
Anglo-American playing cards print these suit symbols
in red.
There is nothing special about these two suits as a combination in
contract bridge, but it is often convenient to be able to talk about suit
combinations in this way.
Other games such as Canasta give special functions to
black cards or red cards.
See: two suiters.
