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.
