It's not the color but the movement that attracts the bull. Contrary to myth, bulls are not colorblind. A bull's vision is dichromatic, meaning they can see in two main colors. These bulls are usually trained to be aggressive so that when they see movement, they will attack.

∙ 9y agoMatadors do not use 'flags.' They use two types of capes. The first is called a capote and it is a large, heavy rose colored cape used to test the bull and guide the bull when it first enters the bullring. The second is a smaller and lighter red cape that is suspended from a wooden stick and the matador's sword. The muleta is used in the final parts of the bullfight - the faena (performance)and the estocada (kill).The purpose of the capes is to be a lure and decoy. The bull has never encountered a man on foot before and thinks the cape is part of the man. However, the bull learns quickly and the matador dare not extend his performance too long as he will most assuredly be gored.
By the way, fighting bulls are not trained. They are wild animals, descendants of the ancient wild cattle that once roamed southern Europe. They are not domesticated and have never encountered a man on foot until they enter a bullring. They are raised on special ranches devoted to fighting bulls.
