Reality should, in theory, be real whether felt or not.
Awareness of reality and the moment can be: 1. a skill of habitual conscious choices 2. induced more easily by fasting from various things 3. induced by mindfulness that one wants to be aware 4. a state that can be learned and practiced from and eventually without microdosing

sometimes that description is a close approximation but no single description suffices to explain your journey and effort to go into the moment, and the complexity and extent of tranquility, clarity, or detachment that can be a possible effect.
sure things in a moment can seem accentuatedly real, part of that is that you are absorbed and becoming resonant with your perceptions, and that experiences are beginning to stack up and those perceptions beginning to ramify beyond their usual limits. It can be pretty cool.
This is one of many things that may be experienced as a side effect of concentration.

Since red is the color of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger, and courage. Modern surveys in Europe and the United States show red is also the color most commonly associated with heat, activity, passion, sexuality, anger, love, and joy.

And corporate-owned chain restaurants.
I think that goes back to ripe fruit and fresh meat-- primal desires of the collective subconscious.
