The north pole does not really have a red and white pole. This is a fictional characteristic made to go along with Christmas.
The red or pointy end of the needle is really the magnetic north pole, it will always point to the south pole of a bar magnet. Confusion occurs because the geographic north pole is really the earth's magnetic south pole.
The "south pole" of a magnet is usually marked with blue, while the "north pole" is marked with red.
Colours of magnets can differ, but usually the north pole is marked as red and the south pole is marked as either black or blue.
If we were to align a bar magnet with the Earth's magnetic field the north pole on the bar magnet would be the red-colored portion. When it comes to Earth, as of now the North pole is in the arctic. However, this is the magnetic north pole which is slightly off true north and always wandering due to variations in the Earth's magnetic field. True north is exactly what the name implies, it the very top and perfectly centered point on the Northern hemisphere.
No, not really. white is the complete absence of color (red green blue) and black is the combination of all colors. While in art you are taught thar red yellow and blue are the primary colors, in physics you are taught that they are really red green and blue. The combination of these colors create magenta, cyan, and purple. The combination of all three colors is black and absence of all three colors is white.

compasses point because of Earth's magnetic field for example, if you think of the Earth as having a big bar magnet in it, then the South end of the magnet would be in the North Pole and the North end in the South pole. then, the natural "Opposites Attract" rule comes into play.
Red and white
A barber's pole is another name for a barber pole - a sign used by barbers, most commonly a pole with a helix of red and white stripes.
The north pole of course silly!
The north pole and the south pole. Half of the magnet is red and the other half is blue.
yes he is. he lives at the north pole!
In past centuries, a community's barber was also its surgeon. He was the man with the sharp razors and cutters so the job fell to him by default. So the red, or red and white striped, pole is said to represent blood, or a stream of blood.
father Christmas originally suit are red and white
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer lives in the North Pole at Santa's Workshop.
No particular reason. The color could be ANY color, but magnet makers began dipping one pole in paint to mark the North pole, and red paint was available. Over time, it just became the color ro use.
Mix the colors Dark Red and white not red it will make it a really really light pink really hard to see.
