So looked it up:
In historically accurate terms, "barn red" is not the bright, fire-engine red that we often see today, but more of a burnt-orange red. As to how the oil mixture became traditionally red, there are two predominant theories:
Wealthy farmers added blood from a recent slaughter to the oil mixture. As the paint dried, it turned from a bright red to a darker, burnt red.
Farmers added ferrous oxide, otherwise known as rust, to the oil mixture. Rust was plentiful on farms and is a poison to many fungi, including mold and moss, which were known to grown on barns. These fungi would trap moisture in the wood, increasing decay.

Now, are we absolutely positive that Epstein's death was not merely a suicide?

I saw a few of them on Facebook this morning. Just providing random facts ending with the fact that Epstein did not kill himself. I try not to laugh because I am actually saddened by the death of any sinner but the randomness is humorous.
